The author is not only an eminent elder of the Buddhist order but one of the leading Pali scholars recognized both in the East and the West as an authority on the subject. His experience as a teacher and as a writer of textbooks made him admirably suited for the undertaking. There were but a few Buddhist Elders in direct contact with Western scholarship through the English medium and the Rev. Buddhadatta was the most senior among that class of monks. It is to be observed that the author has kept more or less to the traditional sense of words while not altogether ignoring the meanings given by western scholars in their translations and lexicons. Many errors in the latter sources have also been rectified. But the basic sense adopted is in nearly every instance the traditionally accepted meaning in accord with the commentaries and the glossaries. This, perhaps, is of social value to beginners as thereby they get introduced to the indigenous tradition, thus providing a useful basis on which to build up a more scientific knowledge as the study advances. Review I am certain that this dictionary will be found indispensable by all students of the Pali language in acquiring a practical and working knowledge of the subject even at the University level, and also serve as a reliable guide to the more abstruse language of the Tipitaka - --O.H. de A.
