| Brief Description: | The special feature of this book is that every sinhalese word is given in English as well as in native characters. This has been done according to the plan adopted by the Government of Ceylon and now generally followed. This book contains large number of technical as well as all the ordinary colloquial words.
This dictionary will be found to give compendious but complete descriptions of the doctrines, books and usages of Buddhism (now attracting much attention), hindu mythology and oriental literature; while it throws light on the customs, institutions and modes of thought of the natives of ceylon. |
