Murray, George W.: An English-Nubian comparative dictionary (London [u.a.]: H. Milford, Oxford University Press, 1923)

FOREWORD

The present volume of the Harvard African Studies is the first of a series
of special monographs which has been planned for publication in addition to
the regular Varia volumes.
Mr. Oric Bates, the late editor of the Studies, arranged with Mr. Murray to
publish the Nubian Comparative Dictionary several years before the war. The
work has been completed only recently, and it has been found advisable to
publish it at the Oxford University Press on account of the lack of the proper
facilities for printing work of this character in the United States.
The editors desire to acknowledge their indebtedness to Professor George
Foote Moore of the Publication Committee of the Harvard African Studies for
valuable assistance rendered in arranging for the publication of the present volume.
