abstract:
A glossary of the Demetian dialect by William Meredith Morris, one of the earliest books describing the Welsh dialect of a specific area, was published in 1910, with the support of subscribers who undertook to buy one or more copies. Their names are given in a list at the end of the book, and this article attempts to establish who they were, and why they would have agreed to support this venture. The subscribers appear to fall broadly into two distinct groups. There are members of the family, friends and neighbours who would have known the author personally; and there are public figures and academics who subscribed regularly to books on a wide range of topics. There is some overlap between the two groups, and this suggests how the author may have been able to broaden his search for subscribers beyond his own local and professional networks.
