BLYDS. South
African Dutch (Afrikaans) name, derived from the vocabulary word blyds,
meaning "lightning." (Rhodesia - and After, Gilbert,
1901). It is the same as German Blitz.
"Cobbler of Cantebury" (3rd S. vi. 86.)—This little work
must have been somewhat popular in Scotland, as I find it was printed in
a cheap form at Glasgow, 18mo, 1727. It is bound up with a
poetical History of Fortunatus; A Contest (in verse) between
the Gardeners and the Tailors concerning their Antiquity; and a very
amusing production entitled "Henry Blyd's (Blyth) Contract
in the Carse of Gowrie, near Dondie, in a fine elegant Discourse to
his Mistress the Minister's Wife." On the title is a curious
representation of Master Henry in the act of recitation. The
printer of these various chap-books was "James Duncan, in the Salt
Market, near Gibson's Wynd, Glasgow." The little book
containing them was many years since purchased from the late Mr. Thomas
Thorpe. J.M. Edinburgh. (Notes & Queries, v.6,
1864)
