Descrizione Hobson-Jobson 2 Part Set
Published in 1886, this dictionary gives the definition and origin of over two thousand words in common use in colonial India. Tracing the Indian origins of words such as cooly or curry, but also - more surprisingly - tank or veranda, it is a fascinating resource for the modern reader.
