Book Description:

This Malay-English dictionary was published in 1801, and is largely the same in content as the first one produced 100 years earlier by Thomas Bowrey. It is a compendium of working Malay, representing early attempts to make a dictionary to serve the new colonial interests in the Malay Peninsula.
