PREFACE.
HTHIS Dictionary was prepared and published to meet
an immediatedemand in Garo School work, caused
by substituting English text-books in place of the
Bengali books formerly used, in the higher branches
of study. Its preparation required haste, amidst the
pressure of many other important duties. I therefore
requested Modhunath Momin to draft definitions, in
addition to his duties as teacher in the station school.
This draft was corrected, modified and generally revised
by Miss Ella C. Bond and myself with Modhunath.
The pronunciation, introduction, and general editing
have fallen to me. In the preparation of manuscript
and readingof proofs, however, I have had the help of
Miss Bond and Modhunath, also some help from Jon-
sing Marak and Jobang Marak.
It was printed by the Assam Government at the
Secretariat Press in Shillong, where no one knew the
language. But we hope to find it fairly well adapted
to the purpose for which it was prepared, namely, that
of furnishing the pronunciations and Garo definitions
of the more common English word
