Excerpt from English and Tamil Dictionary: Containing All the More Important Words in Dr. Webster's Dictionary of the English LanguageIN preparing this second edition of the english and tamil dictionary, all the words in Dr. Webster's complete work, which are thought to be of practical utility to missionaries or civilians among the Tamil people, or to Tamil youth who are studying the English language, have been most carefully added to the old edition, and each word defined by one or more Tamil synonyms.The different shades of signification and some idioms are arranged under each word, forming, to a considerable extent, a substitute for a phrase book. As the words are divided, accentuated, and defined according to Dr. Webster's latest edition, the work will be to all Tamil lads who study English, to a great degree, a substitute for an English Dictionary.The Tamil synonyms may be depended upon, with a very few unavoidable exceptions, as good classic words, which are generally arranged so that those most common are placed first.Mathematical, astronomical, and other scientific words, are those taken from native works, as far as such works have been examined, and in foreign words, the synonyms are made from pure Tamil or Sanscrit combinations. A single word is always preferred to a description.In a very few cases, where it was thought the learner would be assisted, repeti tions have been allowed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
