pleasure I inscribe your name in this Volume as aneapression of uwam personal vegard and admiration of the distinguished giftsand graces bestoved uponu you by the Great Head of the Church,and conse-crated avitlh suclh self-sacrificing devotion to His cause in this Country.  \nBABA PADMANJI.  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2008 with funding fromMicrosoft Corporation  \nPREFACE.  \nTHE first edition of the“Compendium of the English and Marathi Dictionary”has not only been successful in gaining a favourable reception from thepublic,but it has also been tho means of giving an impulse to the prepara-tion of works of a similar nature both for the Marathi and Gujarati-speakingsections of the community.This gratifying result and the rapid sale of thework,as well as the inereasing demand for it,have induced the Editorto undertake the preparation of the present volumc.  \nThe alterations from the first edition are chiefly the following:一  \n1.The insertion of a large number ofadditional words,and a still largernumber of significations.  \n2.Tho insertion of the etymology of such words as are derived fromLatin and Greek roots.  \n3.The insertion of definitions,explanations or synonyms of such Englislwords as have more than one signification,and also of the most importantwords of single significations.  \n4.“The collection into families or groups of all words which arederived from the same root,and which begin with the same syllable,and haveaffinity in signification as well as in etymology,placing first what may becalled the head of the family or group,and arranging under it the otherderivatives in alphabetical order.”  \n5.Ilustrations,amplifications,and applications of words  \n6.Prepositions used idiomatically with substantives,adverbs,&e.are placed after them in brackets.  \n7.Much useful information,not to be found in ordinary dictionaries,is given in brackets.  \n8.The insertion of thc genders of the Marathi words.  \nThe Fditor has drawn largely upon the labours of others.The Englishdefinitions are chiefly from Webster's Dictionary,the latest edition of whichcame to his hand while nearly two-thirds of this volume were in manuseript.  \nPREFACE.  \nFor this valuable help he is indebted to the Revd.A.Hazen,of theAmerican Mission,who generously gave him his ow11 copy when no otherwas procurable in Western India.The Editor at once made up his mindto explore the rich minc of literary wealth contained in it.The old editionof Webster ho had hitherto used was given up,and the reconstruction cfwhat had been already prepared was commenced with the help of the newone.Every word,with its etymology,definitions,applications and exampleshad to be reconsidered and re-written;new words and new significations hadto be inserted,and new terms in Marathi had to be sought.This was byno means an easy task.It took him more than two years to arrivc at thepoint from which he had gone back.He went through upwards of 114,000leading words and perhaps tenfold that number of significations,and a massof useful information,selecting from them as much as he thought of serviceto the Anglo-Marathi student.The name of Webster is a sufficient guaranteefor the accuracy of the definitions given in this work.
