This is the 1826 edition of the Burmese-English dictionary compiled
from a grammar and other manuscripts written by the American
Baptist missionary Adoniram Judson (1788-1850), with additional
content by fellow missionaries Felix Carey and James Coleman.
Prepared by the Baptist Mission Press while Judson was imprisoned
on suspicion of spying in Ava, it is the fruit of his work towards
making the written word an evangelistic tool. He was convinced from
the first that the translation and publication of Christian
scriptures and a familiarity with indigenous languages and customs
was the most effective and enduring form of evangelism, and to this
end he published a Burmese New Testament in 1832. Judson finished
compiling his groundbreaking and comprehensive bilingual dictionary
in 1849, shortly before his death. This earlier work, with
headwords in Burmese script followed by English definitions,
remains relevant in historical linguistics.
