Complete Bulgarian Dictionary.
The Rev. Charles F. Morse, of st.
|Johnsbury, has completed the copy
for a Bulgarian English dictionary
and has received word from Samakov
that the copy has arrived there safely
by registered mail. He has been
nearly four years in preparing the
copy and there are $4,000 words. In
1850, when Mr.. Morse was a mission
cry for the American board in
Bulgaria, he published a small Bull
garian dictionary and this has been
the only medium through which the
missionaries and the students in the
higher schools of that country studied
English. Secondhand copies of this
book are highly sought for and it is
hoped that funds can be raised to
publish this greatly enlarged edition.
