PREFACE.
Encouraged by the favorable reception given to his
Persian and English Dictionary, the Compiler, the late Babu
Ramdhun Sen, was induced to put a new edition of the work to
press; and as he thought its usefulness would be enhanced if the
pronunciation ofthe Persian words were expressed in theRoman
character, he resolved to introduce that improvement. He com-
menced the work, but was not permitted to see its completion.
Thinking it important that so valuable a work should not be lost
to the public, and also being desirous of carrying into effect the
design formed by my late much respected father, I took upon
myself to complete the work.
Its appearance has been long delayed owing to adverse
circumstances for which I take this opportunity to apologize in
order that any faults on my part may be overlooked by the
generous public.
