The first edition of the Compendium of tlie English a DdM arathi Dictionai7 lias not only been successful in gaining a favourable reception from the public, but it has also been the means of giving an impulse to the preparation of works of a similar nature both for the Marathi and Gujarati-speaking sections of the community. This gratifying result and the rapid sale of the work, as well as the increasing demand for it, have induced the Editor to undertake the preparation of the present volume. The alterations from the first edition are chiefly the following: 1. The insertion of a large number of additional words, and a still larger number of significations, 2. The insertion of the etymology of such words as are derived from Latin and Greek roots. 3. The insertion of definitions, explanations or synonyms of such English words as have more than one signification, and also of the most important words of single significations. 4. The collection into families or groups of all words which are derived from the same root, and which begin with the same syllable, and have affinity in signification as well as in etymology, placing first what may be called the head of the family or group, and arranging under it the other derivatives in alphabetical order. 5. I llustrations, amplifications, and applications of words. 6. Prepositions used idiomatically with substantives, adverbs, c. are placed after them in brackets. 7. Much useful information, not to be found in ordinary dictionaries, is given in brackets. 8. The insertion of the genders of the Marathi words. The Editor has drawn largely upon the labours of others. The English definitions are chiefly from Webster s Dictionary, the latest edition of which came to his hand while nearly two-thirds of this volume were in manuscript.
