Book Description
Excerpt from Burmese Pocket Dictionary: Compiled From Dr. Judson's Dictionaries; English and Burmese; Burmese and English It is considered that this selection of English words, having passed through four successive editions, may well serve as the basis of the pre sent work. The words removed for various rea sons about equal the new words added. The Burmese definitions have been compiled afresh, with special reference to the purpose of this work, and will be found to conform strictly to the last edition of Dr. J adson's Burmese and English Dictionary. The Anglicized spelling has been omitted as of questionable utility. The accuracy of this portion is due largely to the assistance rendered in the proof-reading by Rev. F. H. Eveleth, the compiler of the following portion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Dictionaries are a powerful genre, perceived as authoritative and objective records of the language, impervious to personal bias. But who makes dictionaries shapes both how they are constructed and how they are used. Tracing the craft of dictionary making from the fifteenth century to the present day, this book explores the vital but little-known significance of women and gender in the creation of English language dictionaries. Women worked as dictionary patrons, collaborators, readers, compilers, and critics, while gender ideologies served, at turns, to prevent, secure, and veil women's involvements and innovations in dictionary making. Combining historical, rhetorical, and feminist methods, this is a monumental recovery of six centuries of women's participation in dictionary making and a robust investigation of how the social life of the genre is influenced by the social expectations of gender.
