Awd Isaac, The Steeple Chase, and Other Poems / With a glossary of the Yorkshire Dialect

A collection of poems that mixes devotional meditation, local anecdote, and regional speech. Verses portray everyday scenes—home, landscape, church, youth and old age—and often present personal or witnessed conversions, the workings of grace, and moral reflections rooted in Scripture. Several pieces use a Northern dialect to address ordinary listeners, lending immediacy, humor, and force to simple narratives and lyric moments; a glossary aids comprehension. Across narrative ballads and reflective pieces the poet emphasizes charity, loss, consolation, and the steadying presence of faith, aiming to instruct and comfort readers through plain, emotive language.
