Author Description

Excerpt from A Glossary of Judicial and Revenue Terms, and of Useful Words Occurring in Official Documents Relating to the Administration of the Government of British India: From the Arabic, Persian, Hindustáni, Sanskrit, Hindí, Bengálí, Uriya, Maráthi, Guzaráthí, Telugu, Karnáta, Tamil, Malayálam, and Other Languages The only trustworthy representation of an Indian word is its native costume it can never be thoroughly nationalised in any other: but as it has to take a place in English documents, and is addressed to those to whom it would otherwise be illegible, it is the especial object of the present compilation to give it as faithful an equivalent as the difference in the values of letters and the peculiarities of national enunciation will permit.
