fHIP In conclusion I may mention that this paper is an extract of 

 a larger Avork written by me, entitled " Contributions to Persian 

 Lexicography." About six years ago, Major Lees asked me to compile 

 a Persian Dictionary. A part of it has been completed. But as the 

 costs of the undertaking appeared too great, in proportion to the assis- 

 tance which the Government of India then granted, the work was not 

 proceeded with, though a specimen sheet had been issued. 



Since then I have been comparing the Persian Dictionaries written 

 by natives, and correcting various lexicographical MSS. in my posses- 

 sion. I trust in a short time to have sufficient leisure, to see the whole 

 of my " Contributions" through the press, though I should prefer the 

 compilation of a Persian Dictionary itself, if the Grovernment or a 

 learned Society were inclined to defray the printing charges.
