DING 2012: "Sebastian Evans mentions him in his edition of his father’s (Arthur Benoni Evans) Leicestershire Words and Phrases and Proverbs (1881:33): “The Round Preacher makes frequent use of a dialect which to some extent is identical with Leicestershire, but which I believe really belongs to Southern Yorkshire.” In the British Library Catalogue Joseph Clarke appears as Vicar of Eling (Hampshire) and also as the author of the novel The Story of Two Churchwardens: Father and Son (1892) (which is just dotted with coloquialisms)".
