mmmmmmmm-^»mm: «liiWiilii : A *^ .-^ — DICTIONARY PERSIAN AND ENGLISH, WITH THB PRONUNCIATION OF PERSIAN WORDS THE ROMAN CHARACTER. BY THE LATB RAMDHUN SEN. SECOND EDITION. CALCUTTA PRINTED AT THE BAPTIST MISSION PRESS, CIRCULAR ROAD. 1841. I n b'lX'.X ' -^ PREFACE. Encouraged by the favorable reception given to his Persian and English Dictionary, the Compiler, the late Babu Ramdhun Sen, was induced to put a new edition of the work to press ; and as he thought its usefulness would be enhanced if the pronunciation of the Persian words were expressed in the Roman character, he resolved to introduce that improvement. He com- menced the work, but was not permitted to see its completion. Thinking it important that so valuable a work should not be lost to the public, and also being desirous of carrying into effect the design formed by my late much respected father, I took upon myself to complete the work. Its appearance has been long delayed owing to adverse circumstances for which I take this opportunity to apologize in order that any faults on my part may be overlooked by the generous public.
