v7.c45.28
I take this opportunity to express my respectful gratitude to Sir Harcourt Butler and his Government. And to Sir Claude I am further indebted for his scholarly sympathy, friendly advice, and constant encouragement. To those great lovers of oriental scholarship, Rai Rajeshwar Bali Sahib, o.b.e., the then Minister of Education; Kunwar Jagdish Prasad, c.i.e., o.b.e., i.c.s., the Education (then Chief) Secretary; and late Mr. A. H. Mackenzie, m.a., b.sc., the Director of Public Instruction, I am in a debt of gratitude for further encouragement, which has kept up the energy and spirit needed in bringing out this dictionary, after working on it for the past twelve years.
