THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN
By MARK TWAIN
By MARK TWAIN
EXPLANATORY
IN this book a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri negro dialect; the
extremest form of the backwoods Southwestern dialect; the ordinary "Pike County"
dialect; and four modified varieties of this last. The shadings have not been done in a
hap- hazard fashion, or by guesswork; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy
guidance and support of personal familiarity with these several forms of speech. I make
this explanation for the reason that without it many readers would suppose that all these
characters were trying to talk alike and not succeeding.
THE AUTHOR.
