AUTHOR'S PREFACE.
INbringing out this little book before the public, I beg to
say that I have engaged in a work so arduous that I cannot profess
to have successfully completed it, but, encouraged by tile remem-
i
brance that not a few persons have undertaken work of a similar
kind in other hngua32s on a small scale a t first, I did not shrink
from making a like attempt myself. When the work had been
finished, and part of it gone through the press, Sir Bampfylde
Fuller kindly took notioe of it, and a t his instance a com-
mittee, composed of U Dohory Ropmay: B.A., U Hajom Kissor
I Singh, and myself, as members, was appointed for revising and
i
enlarging it.
As the Cherra dialect has been selected and introduced by the
Welsh Blissionaries (and very wisely too) as a standard of the
Khasi language, no attempt has been made to insort words of
other dialects, excepting in a very few instances.
No p i n s have been spared to oonsult as many of the books
and local newspapers available, as have been published up
to date.
1 I have great pleasure in acknmiedging my personal o b w
Ii tions to the Ber. J. 0. Bvsns, to Major E. R. W.C!. Oarroll,
r.la.s., and to Major P. R.T.~ U F ~ O I ITA.,
, for t h kind and
I d m b l e assistance rendered by them. I mmt not omit to men-
tion here my obligations to the members of the revking commit-
tee-U Dohory Eopmay, B~A.,and U Hajom K k r Singh-who
j have devoted much time an4 thought to the revisim
to some of my KhzA friends from whom I derived aesistrtnce.
and
I n conclusion, I beg to sap that, with all that I and the
membem of the commitf, have done, them will still be mom
fw furthe11impro.~eme;itsaa years p. I am, howewr, ~atisfi~'S
( that a foundation bas bean laid for any impmemont. that may
be made ix future.
