# A Japanese-English and English-Japanese Dictionary/Preface
## Preface.

During the fourteen years which have elapsed since the publication of the last edition of this Dictionary, the Author has kept it constantly before him, correcting errors, improving and enlarging the definitions, and adding new words and illustrations, according as his time and other important engagements allowed him. But owing to the amazing changes and rapid advancement of the Japanese in every department, he has found it difficult to keep pace with the corresponding advance of the language in the increase of its vocabulary. He has endeavored, however, to collect these words, examine, classify and define them. Many, no doubt, have escaped his notice. Still there is an addition of more than ten thousand words to the Japanese and English part. He might have increased this number by almost as many more, had he thought proper to insert the purely technical terms belonging to the various branches of medicine, chemistry, botany, etc., etc., each of which should have a separate work especially devoted to it. He had to draw a line somewhere, and has limited himself to such words only as are in popular and general use. Most of these words are of Chinese derivation.
He has also inserted all the archaic and now obsolete terms found in the Kojiki, Manyōshu, and the Monogataris which have come under his notice, hoping thereby to aid those who may desire to read these ancient books. To distinguish these words he has marked them with a dagger (†).
Though somewhat against his own judgment, but with an earnest desire to further the cause of the Romajikwai, he has altered to some extent the method of transliteration which he had adopted in the previous edition of this work, so as to conform to that which has been adopted by this society. These alterations are few and are fully explained in the Introduction.
The English and Japanese part he has also carefully revised, corrected and considerably enlarged. ​With all his care and effort the author finds typographical errors have passed here and there undetected, especially among the Chinese characters. They are not many, however, and he comforts himself with the reflection that it is not human to be perfect, nor to produce a work in which a critical eye can detect no flaw.
The Author commits his work to the kind forbearance of the public. Advancing age admonishes him that this must be his last contribution to lexicography. He has done his best under the circumstances. He has laid the foundation upon which others may build a more complete and finished structure; and he is thankful that so much of the work has been given him to do.
The Author cannot take his leave without thanking his many friends who have encouraged him and sympathized with him in his work; especially Rev. O. H. Gulick of Kōbe, and W. N. Whitney, M.D., Interpreter to the U. S. Legation, who have kindly rendered him no little aid. But above all others is he indebted to Mr. Takahashi Goro, whose assistance throughout has been invaluable.

A note in the same calendar, Aug. 2, the Feast of Portiuncula, says that plenary indulgence is to be had once for one's self, and afterwards for the poor souls in purgatory, as often as, after Absolution and Holy Communion, one visits a church of the Franciscan brothers, and prays, "nach der Meinung der katholischen Kirche."

​EDWARDS. (Lieut., 1821. f-p., 12; h-p., 25.)
Sampson Edwards, born in Jan. 1797, is second son of the late Sampson Edwards, Esq., Admiral of the Red, who died, 14 Sept. 1840, aged 95; nephew of Capt. Valentine Edwards, R.N., who was lost in the Sceptre 64, at the Cape of Good Hope, 5 Nov. 1799; and cousin of Rear-Admiral Valentine Collard. This officer entered the Royal Naval College 23 Jan. 1810; and embarked, 11 May, 1812, as a Volunteer, on board La Nymphe 38, Capt. Farmery Predam Epworth, under whom we find him blockading for a considerable time the port of Boston. Until Aug. 1815, he afterwards served with the same officer in the Bulwark 74. He then successively joined the Albion 74, Capt. Jas. Walker, Romney 50, Capt. John Mackellar, and Salisbury 50, bearing the flag in the West Indies of Rear-Admiral John Erskine Douglas, where, from Dec. 1816, until July, 1817, he appears to have officiated as Acting-Lieutenant of the latter ship and of the Active 46, Capt. Philip Carteret. After an intermediate re-attachment, as Admiralty-Midshipman, to the Salisbury, and a further servitude, in a similar capacity, on board the Hind 20, Capt. Sir Chas. Burrard, and Vigo 74, bearing the flag at St. Helena of Rear-Admiral Robt. Lambert, Mr. Edwards was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant by commission dated 5 Feb. 1821, and appointed to the Heron 18, Capts. Job Hanmer and Henry Fras. Greville. He returned home from the Cape of Good Hope in March, 1823.; and has not since been employed.
He married, 22 April, 1828, Harriett Anne, only daughter of the Rev. P. W. Jolliife, Incumbent of Poole, Dorset.

Fred. Wm. Beechey, 30 Aug. 1841. He continued in that vessel until 1843; and, from 4 April, 1845, until the close of 1846, was similarly employed in the Tartarus, Capt. Jas. Wolfe.

​EGERTON. (Commander, 1844.)
Francis Philip Egerton passed his examination in 1833; and obtained his first commission 8 Jan. 1836. His appointments as Lieutenant were – 23 March, 1836, and 15 Sept. 1840, to the Vanguard 80, and Calcutta 84, Capts. Hon. Duncombe Pleydell Bouverie, Sir Thos. Fellowes, and Sir Sam. Roberts, on the Mediterranean station – and, 8 Feb. 1842, to the Agincourt 72, flag-ship in the East Indies of Sir Thos. John Cochrane. Since his attainment of his present rank, 9 Aug. 1844, he has been in command of the Hazard 18, on the station last named. During an expedition conducted in July, 1846, by Sir Thos. Cochrane against the Sultan of Borneo, we find him intrusted with the command (under Capt. Wm. J. H. Johnstone, of the Agincourt) of the brigade, rockets, and field-pieces, and assisting on 8 of that month at the capture and destruction of the enemy’s forts and batteries in the river Brune. He appears, on a previous occasion, to have narrowly escaped falling into a trap laid by the Sultan to get him into his city, for the purpose, we believe, of putting him to death.
# A Naval Biographical Dictionary/Eliot, Henry Algernon

Layout 4
​ELIOT. (Captain, 1830. f-p., 16; h-p., 29.)
Henry Algernon Eliot, born 23 Aug. 1790, at Shenstone Hall, near Lichfield, co. Stafford, is son of the late Percival Eliot, Esq., formerly Colonel of the Stafford Militia, and many years a Commissioner for auditing the Public Accounts; and grandson of Major-General Granville Eliot, a soldier of distinction, who served under the Duke of Marlborough. His great-grandfather, General Roger Eliot, was uncle-in-law of the hero of Gibraltar, the late celebrated Lord Heathfield.
This officer entered the Navy, 28 Dec. 1802, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Belleisle 74, Capts. John Whitby and Wm. Hargood; as Midshipman of which ship he accompanied Lord Nelson in pursuit of the combined squadrons of France and Spain to the West Indies in the summer of 1805. He then successively joined the Quebec 32, and Euryalus 36, both commanded by Capt. Hon. Geo. Heneage Lawrence Dundas, on the Mediterranean station, where he appears to have been frequently employed in cutting out vessels from under the enemy’s batteries. After a further servitude, latterly as Acting-Lieutenant, in the Royal William, flag-ship of Sir Geo. Montagu, Christian VII. 80, Capt. Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke, and Prince of Orange 74, and Thisbe 28, flag-ships of Admirals Geo. Campbell and Hon. Sir Henry Edwin Stanhope, all on the Home station, Mr. Eliot was confirmed, 8 June, 1810, to a Lieutenancy in the Ferret sloop, Capt. Rich. Wales, then off the coast of North America. Until Nov. 1816, we next find him employed, on the Lisbon, Mediterranean, and Home stations, on board the Tonnant 80, Capt. Sir John Gore, Pylades sloop, Capts. Geo. Ferguson and Jas. Wemyss, Cornwall 74, Capts. John Broughton and Edw. W. C. R. Owen, Scylla 16, Capt. Geo. Bennet Allen, Phoenix 36, Capt. Chas. John Austen, and Boyne 98, and Bombay 74, flag-ships of Lord Exmouth and Sir Chas. Vinicombe Penrose. During that period he commanded the Tonnant’s boats up the river Tagus, in co-operation, in 1810, with the British troops occupying the lines of Torres Vedras, and, while so employed, he was constantly engaged with the advanced guard, near Villa Franca, and on one occasion fell into the hands of the enemy, by whom he was held captive for several weeks. Mr. Eliot also, in the Pylades and Boyne, witnessed an attack upon Ciotat, and was present at the surrender of Naples, in 1812-15. After serving for about 12 months in the Créole 42, Commodore Wm. Bowles, on the Brazilian station, he was there promoted to the command, 2 Sept. 1819, of the Icarus sloop, in which he continued until June, 1821. Capt. Eliot, who has not since been afloat, obtained his Post-commission 22 July, 1830.
He married, in 1823, Jane, only daughter of the Rev. Alex. Crombie, LL.D., F.R.S., by whom he has issue. Agents – Hallett and Robinson.

​EDWIN. (Commander, 1835. f-p., 22; h-p., 15.)
Felix Edwin entered the Navy, 12 Aug. 1810, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Donegal 74, Capt. Pulteney Malcolm; under whom, on 15 Nov. in the same year, we find him assisting in an attack made by Capt. Chas. Grant, of the Diana, on the two French frigates Amazone and Eliza, protected by the fire of several strong batteries, near Cherbourg. After serving for some time in the Boyne 98, flagship of Sir Harry Burrard Neale, Royal Oak 74, Capt. P. Malcolm, and San Josef 110, Capt. Robt. Jackson, he became Midshipman, in Oct. 1813, of the Comet 16, Capt. Geo. Wm. Blamey, on the Newfoundland station. Until Feb. 1821 he next, in succession, joined, on the Channel, St. Helena, Portsmouth, African, and American stations, the Leven 20, Capt. Buckland Stirling Bluett, Phaeton 46, Capt. Fras. Stanfell, Rochfort 80, Capt. Sir Arch. Collingwood Dickson, Tartar 42, Commodore Sir Geo. Ralph Collier, Euryalus 42, Commodore Thos. Huskisson, Sophie 18, Capt. Sir Wm. Saltonstall Wiseman, and Tartar again, commanded as before. He then, having been a long time employed as Admiralty-Midshipman, became Acting-Lieutenant of the Myrmidon 20, Capt. Henry John Leeke, to which vessel he was ultimately confirmed, on 30 Aug. in the same year, 1821, nearly five years after he had passed his examination. Leaving the Myrmidon in Feb. 1822, Mr. Edwin, on 10 Oct. 1832, was next appointed to the Coast Guard. As an especial reward for his “gallant and intrepid conduct,” in an affray with a band of smugglers, on the night of 12 July, 1834, he was promoted to the rank of Commander, by commission dated 4 Feb. 1835. From 22 Sept. 1835 until 10 Oct. 1838, and from 5 July, 1840, until 1845, we afterwards find him employed in the same service as an Inspecting-Commander. He has since been on half-pay.
This officer, who is Senior Commander of 1833, married, 16 April, 1834, Marianne, only daughter of John Joseph Atherton, Esq., of Walton Hall, co. Lincoln, and of Street Court, co. Hereford, by whom he has issue two sons.

​EGERTON. (Commander, 1846.)
Charles Randle Egerton, born 12 May, 1818, is youngest son of Wilbraham Egerton, Esq., of Tatton Park, co. Chester, by Elizabeth, second daughter of Sir Christopher Sykes, Bart., of Sledmere House, co. York. His eldest brother, Wm. Tatton, M.P. for Cheshire, is brother-in-law of the present Marquess of Ely; and another, Wilbraham, is a Captain in the 43rd Light Infantry.
This officer entered the Navy 19 May, 1831; passed his examination in 1837; and ultimately ​became Mate of the Calliope 26, Capt. Thos. Herbert. He acquired great credit, during the Chinese war, by his conduct in the boats under Lieut. Rundle Burges Watson, in an impressive attack made upon 13 Chinese war-junks, near Chuenpee, 7 Jan. 1841. He was similarly employed, we find, at the storming and destruction, on 23 Feb., of a fort, mounting 20 guns in battery, at a place called Sanmmonhow, situated at the back of the island of Anunghoy; and he was also engaged in the boats of the Calliope at the capture, on 13 March, of several rafts and of the last fort protecting the approaches to Canton. After serving with the western division of the flotilla at the ensuing capture of that city, he took part in the series of operations which were re-enacted against it in the following May; on 26 of which month he landed and assisted at the destruction of the whole line of defences, extending about two miles from the British factory, where 64 pieces of cannon were disabled. Being promoted for these services, by commission dated 8 June, 1841, Mr. Egerton, on 16 of the proximate October, was appointed Lieutenant of the Wellesley 72, Capt. Thos. Maitland, and next, 12 Sept. 1842, of the North Star 26, Capt. Sir Jas. Everard Home, both stationed in the East Indies. While attached to the latter ship, he commanded the rocket party in an attack made upon a rebel New-Zealand chief named Kawiti; whose strongly-fortified pah, situated many miles inland, was at length, on 11 Jan. 1846, after several days of labour and fatigue, stormed and, notwithstanding a desperate fight of four hours, triumphantly carried. The share borne by Mr. Egerton in the achievement procured him the rank he now holds – his promotion being dated back to the day above mentioned. He is at present on half-pay. Agent – Joseph Woodhead.

Dod, Matthew Squire, Shuldham Peard, and Theophilus Jones, stationed in the Channel, where he speedily attained the rating of Midshipman. Soon after his removal to the Defiance 74, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Thos.
