This Dictionary is chiefly intended for the use of travellers and others in Persia, and will be found to contain all the words in use in colloquial Persian. With a view to making it available for beginners in the language, and especially for Candidates for the Indian Civil Service, all the words in jthe Gulistan and most of those occurring in other prescribed text-books have also been included. The principal works of which I have made use in the compilation are Johnson’s Persian Dictionary, Nicolas’ Dialogues Persans-Fran^ais, and the Email Persian-French Vocabulary of Berge. E. H. PALMER.
