This little book /x published in answer to a wifh repeatedly
expretmed that tJie public fdioiild be prorided with an Enfflish-
Sesii to ] Wa b u larji .
A first attempt in this direction ivas made bij the Herd. J.
Mabille^ in 1S94. His Dictionary rapidly sohl ofit^ bnt his
premature death prevented him from rerisivfj it and puhUshiutj
a second edition. For man if years nothing more urns done^
until, in 1902, tfie Herd. II. Ih'eterlen prepared a ^iesuto-Kng-
lisli Vocabulary, which icas published last year.
We hare hmg hesitated before undertaking the l'Jngli.^h-Se.<uto
jmrt, as that meant overcoming a double difficulty : that of the
language, the writer being a Frenchman, and lack of time. To
write such a book, one sliould work at leisure and not under the
pressure of a busy missionary life. None better than the com-
piler knows the shortcomings of this Vocabulary. Such as if
is, we hopp a will be useful and fulfil its task, until a complete
and definitive Dictionary of the Sesuto language he published
at the Mission Press.
We nuMt add that Mabille's Ih'ctionary has been largely
used in the compiling of the pi'esent volume. We wish also to
thank Mr. F. Fnraght Motmy. llcsidt'nf Commissioner at
Kmhahaan, Swaziland, formerly nf Basutoland, who kindly
supplied us with the English, or rather South African, names
of most of the animaU and birds nf the Basutoland Fauna ; also
tho Jievd. H. Holland, missionary in the Transvaal, who scut
us a Uhtful list of ciwreclions to Mabillrs Ih'rtionary.
