Summary: "A Pocket Dictionary: Welsh-English" by William Richards is a reference dictionary written in the mid-19th century. This work provides an accessible resource for Welsh speakers to understand and utilize the English language, aiming to bridge the communication gap between the two linguistic communities. It includes a variety of common words rather than obscure terms, making it practical for everyday use. The opening portion of the dictionary sets the stage for its purpose by discussing the growing desire among Welsh people to learn English, emphasizing that language mastery often requires the aid of dictionaries. Richards critiques existing dictionaries for including many seldom-used words and asserts that his edition is intentionally limited to practical vocabulary that is commonly used in speech and writing. He underscores the meticulous care taken in preparing the dictionary to ensure accuracy and usability for learners and speakers alike. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
