Excerpt from A Siamese-English Dictionary It is much to be regretted, first, that a few errata have crept in, which it is hoped will give rise to no confusion. The more important errors have been given on a separate page. Secondly, that a certain number of words under the first few letters were inadvertently omitted from the body of the work. These words will, however. Be found as a supplement at the end of the book. Thirdly, that in a few places, slight irregularities of arrange ment occur. Those who have never undertaken the task of compiling a Dictionary of a little known tongue, can have but faint idea of the extent of the work involved, and of the difficulties of ascertaining the exact meanings of words, especially of those in less common use. The compiler is deeply conscious of the shortcomings of this work, but trusts that in a subsequent edition (should such he called for) that many of the present defects will be eliminated.
