PREFACEThis Dictionary has been derived from a large amountof material already arranged and printed in alphabeticalform.1. A collection made by Karens themselves at therequest of missionaries. This consists of legends;myths; and the words of their language so far as theycould obtain them, and define them in their ownlanguage.This collection consists of four octavo volumes with anaggregate of 3200 pages. The work is called a"Thesaurus." It is arranged alphabetically, and is givenwholly in the Karen.2. A large double column quarto Dictionary. ThisDictionary is alphabetically confined to the first letter ofthe alphabet, but it enabled the author to include nearlythe whole range of the language, and is given for themost part in the Karen.3. A "Vocabulary." This vocabulary was prepared byDr. Wade, but in consequence of the failure of hishealth, Dr. Wade committed his material to Mrs. S. K.Bennett who completed the work on a slightly differentplan.

All the words, direct and derived, of the language in thisbook are defined in English. This is an octavo volumeof 1024 pages. This Vocabulary has controlled the formof this Dictionary, and given its thickness. This maymake the volume inconvenient as it must consist of1300 pages.We have done what we could to leave out materialwithout taking from the value of the book to be printed;and to add the new words which we could find. Wehave endeavored to make the definitions more plain andmore easily caught by the eye, in cases where manydefinitions of the same word are given.E. B. C.
