AUTIIOR'S PREFACE.
MAIN In bringing 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, enconraged by the remom brance that not a few persons have undertaken work of a similar kind in other languages on a small scale at first, I did not shrink from making a like attempt myself. When the work had leon finished, and part of it gone through the press, Sir Bampfylda Fuller kindly took notice of it, and at his instance a com mittee, composed of U Dohory Ropmay, .A., U Hajom Kisson Singh, and myself, as members, was appointed for revising and enlarging it.
As the Cherra dialect has been selected and introduced by the Welsh Missionaries and very wisely too) as a standard of the Khasi language, no attempt has been made to insert world of other dialects, excepting in a very few instances.
No pains have been spared to consult as many of the books and local newspapers available, as have been published up to dnte.
I have grent pleasure in acknowledging my personal obligations to the Rev. J. G. Evans, to Major E. R. W. C. Carroll, 1.31.8., and to Major P. R. T. Gurdon, L.A., for the kind and valuable assistance rendered by them. I must not omit to menttion here my obligations to the members of the revising commit tee-U Dohory Ropmay, 1.A., and U Hajom Kissor Singh - who have devoted much time and thought to the revision work, and to some of my Khasi friends from whom I derived assistance
In conclusion, I beg to say that, with all that I and the members of the committee have done, there will still be room for further improvements as years pass. I am, however, satisfiel that a foundation has been laid for any improvements that may be made in future.
