A Dictionary, Persian, Arabic, and English

This book explores an extensive dictionary incorporating Persian, Arabic, and English, first published in 1777 by John Richardson. Recognizing the utility but also the shortcomings of the original edition, the editor initiated a meticulous revision following its depletion. The Dictionary, though practical for its era, faced criticism for its cumbersome size and restricted vocabulary. In 1806 and 1810 reprints, Sir Charles Wilkins significantly enhanced the lexicon's structure and substance. Once more released in 1852 with the support of the Honourable East-India Company, this edition was supervised by Francis Johnson.
