The general plan of this dictionary, first prepared by Sir James Redhouse in 1861 and revised in 1950 and 1953, has been to include all words which appear in the Oxford Concise Dictionary and Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. In addition, a great number of idioms have been added; the volume now contains between 60,000 and 70,000 definitions. Syllable division and primary stress are indicated in each entry. Phonetic transcriptions, grammatical and stylistic categories, and inflected forms are also given, followed by the Turkish glosses in isolation and in context. A bibliography of reference sources, a page of notes on English grammar, abbreviations, and an explanation of the phonetic symbols used to indicate English pronunciation are included in the prefatory section.
