This glossary details the vocabulary and linguistic idiosyncrasies of the dialect spoken in Somerset, England, capturing the regional speech that was threatened by the advancements of the printing press and education. The aim of the book is to preserve the rich linguistic heritage of the area, showcasing a variety of unique words, phrases, and their meanings.  The opening of the glossary includes a preface that outlines the origins of the work, stating that it was commissioned by the Somersetshire Archaeological Society and acknowledges contributions from various researchers, including the late Edward Norris.

Prior, explores the history and social context of the dialects, suggesting they reveal much about the area's demographic history and the influences of language over time in Somerset. Following this introductory content, the glossary itself begins with entries that define a multitude of provincial terms used within the region, emphasizing the vernacular roots of the letters and sounds characteristic of the Somerset dialect.
