PREFATORY NOTE.
In bringing out this glossary on behalf of the author, the compiler wishes
to state: (i) That it has been his endeavor to make the glossary as accurate as
possible; (2) That, at the same time, he has had due regard for the difference in
transliteration and translation on the part of the author, as compared with that found
in the compiler's Dictionary and later articles; (3) That where the author and the com-
piler have mutually agreed on readings or translations differing from those found in
the author's Lexicon, they have been incorporated into the body of the glossary,
with a cross reference from the old reading to the newly adopted one, instead of
being relegated to the list of corrections. It is, therefore, advisable when using the
Lexicon, also to consult the glossary. (4) In man)' cases the compiler still differs from
the author as to the reading or translation of individual words. (5) The Corrections
contain only minor changes which could not be well incorporated into the glossary.
