In this edition of the _Anglo-Indian Glossary_ the original text has been
reprinted, any additions made by the Editor being marked by square
brackets. No attempt has been made to extend the vocabulary, the new
articles being either such as were accidentally omitted in the first
edition, or a few relating to words which seemed to correspond with the
general scope of the work. Some new quotations have been added, and some of
those included in the original edition have been verified and new
references given. An index to words occurring in the quotations has been
prepared.
I have to acknowledge valuable assistance from many friends. Mr. W. W.
SKEAT has read the articles on Malay words, and has supplied many notes.
Col. Sir R. TEMPLE has permitted me to use several of his papers on
Anglo-Indian words, and has kindly sent me advance sheets of that portion
of the Analytical Index to the first edition by Mr. C. PARTRIDGE, which is
being published in the _Indian Antiquary_. Mr. R. S. WHITEWAY has given me
numerous extracts from Portuguese writers; Mr. W. FOSTER, quotations from
unpublished records in the India Office; Mr. W. IRVINE, notes on the later
Moghul period. For valuable suggestions and information on disputed points
I am indebted to Mr. H. BEVERIDGE, Sir G. BIRDWOOD, Mr. J. BRANDT, Prof. E.
G. BROWNE, Mr. M. LONGWORTH DAMES, Mr. G. R. DAMPIER, Mr. DONALD FERGUSON,
Mr. C. T. GARDNER, the late Mr. E. J. W. GIBB, Prof. H. A. GILES, Dr. G. A.
GRIERSON, Mr. T. M. HORSFALL, Mr. L. W. KING, Mr. J. L. MYRES, Mr. J.
PLATT, jun., Prof. G. U. POPE, Mr. V. A. SMITH, Mr. C. H. TAWNEY, and Mr.
J. WEIR.
