INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND<br />

EDITION<br />

IN this edition, the Supplement has been rewritten and con-<br />

siderably enlarged, and, to increase the usefulness <strong>of</strong> the Diction-<br />

ary, a new Supplement <strong>of</strong> English-<strong>Spanish</strong>-Portuguese <strong>Terms</strong><br />

has been added. This has been made as concise as possible, in<br />

order to keep the work within reasonable limits. Thus the<br />

common names <strong>of</strong> the ordinary ores are not included therein, but<br />

will be found in the body <strong>of</strong> the work under the <strong>Spanish</strong> name <strong>of</strong><br />

the metal to which they may belong e.g. copper pyrites will be<br />

found u. cobre (2) (copper ore) or u. pirita (pyrites) ; ruby silver<br />

u. plata (2) (silver ore). Compound terms will be found under<br />

the second or key-word e.g. plunger-pump and sinking-pump u.<br />

bomba (1) (pump); bearing-frame, u. cuadro (1) (frame); blast-<br />

furnace, u. horno (2) (furnace) ; main-level, u. galer a (1) (level) ;<br />

stamp-mill, edge-mill and drag-mill, u. molino (1) (mill), and so<br />

forth.<br />

The cross-references in the body <strong>of</strong> the work will be found very<br />

useful in this connection.<br />
