FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 28: This form, _bagonet_, is not in the vocabularies, but it was spoken as I have written it.

The Century Dictionary gives _bagnet_, and Halliwell and Wright both give _baginet_ with the _g_ soft apparently, though neither the one nor the other is very explicit in distinguishing transcriptions from old authors from phonetic spellings of dialect forms.

I fancy that this _bagonet_ is impossible as a corruption of _bayonet_, and that it points to some other derivation of that word than the doubtful one from _Bayonne_.].
