Assembled by a missionary during the mid-19th century, this dictionary has an outstanding reputation. Practical and nontechnical, it offers a full sense of Tibetan words in their common usage. Each word is defined in terms of both its written and conversational usage. An English-Tibetan vocabulary offers pronunciations for hundreds of words. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Routledge & Kegan Paul, Ltd., London, 1881.
