Book Description
Excerpt from A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, Based Upon the St. Petersburg Lexicons With regard to the contents and arrangement of this book I have but little to add. At first sight it appears to be nothing but a list of Sanskrit words put in alphabetical order and confronted with their English equivalents. Such a compilation, little as it may seem, would be much, if it were made with the correctness and accuracy required by the matter. Whether I have succeeded in attaining this aim and rendering my book at leastfrom this point of view useful to the class of readers for which it is destined, actual experience must show. I hepe, however, it will be acknowledged that I have always endeavoured not only to put together words with words, but also to give the full devel opment and connection of meanings from their first radical origin up to the various ramifications which appear in the texts enumerated above or are of universal interest. Here we must, of course, distinguish between the old simple words and the compara tively younger derivatives and compounds, which generally are easy and transparent enough to admit of an insight into their origin and growth even by the help of a simple translation. This is also the reason why I abstained from giving a formal analysis of words, such as would, in each individual case, trace the compound back to its constituent parts and the simple word to its root or stem. In the first place, nine tenth of all cases are so clear in themselves, that even for the beginner, if he only has worked his way through the euphonic rules and the elements of word-formation, they need no explanation whatever. The last tenth, on the other hand, offers numerous difficulties, which it would be impossible to remove without altogether changing the elementary character of this book. There are, moreover, two excellent guides through this domain of studies, whttney's Roots and lanman's Reader, of which the one furnishes ample material for Sanskrit and the other for comparative etymology, so that a book, which in a certain degree is intended to be a completion or continuation of both, may well be for the most part restricted to purely lexicographic matter.
