    viii. PREFACE. I can speak practically, from my own- experience, of the utility of this work, for I have continually to refer to it for some correct defini- tion of a foreign money, weight, or measure, or the natural history identification of an animal or vegetable product. One difficulty I have met with is in the modern change of spelling adopted in most of the East Indian names of products, etc., so that it may be found difficult to refer to them readily. This Dictionary may be considered an Encyclopredia in brief, and a necessary accessory for the counting-house, or oil the library table. P. L. SIMMONDS. 16, Whittingstall Road, Fulham.
