Excerpt from An English and Arabic Dictionary: In Two Parts, Arabic and English, and English and Arabic, in Which the Arabic Words Are Represented in the Oriental Character, as Well as Their Correct Pronunciation and Accentuation Shown in English Letters For any inaccuracies which have escaped my attention, I beg the kind indulgence of my readers. I earnestly hope that this work may be useful to the English who cultivate Arabic, as well as to the Syrians and Egyptians who study the English language; and that it will assist in producing those happy results which I desire from the bottom of my heart for Syria, my beloved country. May truth, justice, civilization, and Christianity, which prevail here, be te - established in the East. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
