A Comprehensive Dictionary : English and Marathi

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : A Comprehensive Dictionary, English and Marathi; The first edition of the Compendium of the English and Marathi Dictionary has 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 same tribute of gratitude is due to another benefactor, now in England, whose name, the writer regrets, cannot be given without his permission. This much the author presumes to say of his patron, that it was by his offer of a prize for a Marathi essay many years ago, that an impulse to the literary labours of the writer of these lines was first given. Had it not been for two liberal donations from that gentleman, and the regular contributions of the Glasgow Students' Association, this work would probably not have seen the light of day, at least not so soon.
