William Barnes (22 February 1801 – 7 October 1886) was an English polymath,[1] writer, poet, philologist,[2] priest, mathematician,[3] engraving artist[4] and inventor.[3] He wrote over 800 poems, some in Dorset dialect, and much other work, including a comprehensive English grammar quoting from more than 70 different languages.[1] A linguistic purist,[5] Barnes strongly advocated against borrowing foreign words into English, and instead supported the use and proliferation of "strong old Anglo-Saxon speech".[6]
