This 1826 Burmese-English dictionary was compiled from the manuscripts of American Baptist missionary Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) and his colleagues Felix Carey and James Coleman. It was a pioneering work, born of firm belief in the evangelising power of the written word, and providing the basis for Judson's later great bilingual dictionary.
