The materials for this work have been collected during more than twenty-five years' study of the language.  The words have been taken from all available sources, from the lips of speakers of all ranks, castes and occupations, from the letters and records of many different districts, and from the writers in prose and poetry of every age.  A list necessarily imperfect of the literature which has been ransacked for contributions, will be subjoined under the head of Abbreviations.
