The Pocket Dictionary has been subjected to a thorough re· vision, and care has been taken, in preparing this tdition, to bring it up to date, by including, especially, terms recently coined. It is to be hoped that the book, in its new form, will be as successful as previous editions were, in Culfilling the demands made on it by its users. W. Ebisch. Preface to the 39th Edition In the present edition, the Pocket Dictionary has been com pletely remodelled and reset. Both parts have been carefully re vised and considerably improved. By eliminating antiquated ex pressions room has been found for the inclusion of important new colloquialisms, commercial and technical expressions and words connected with the various branches of sport. The latest and best English lexicographical works have been utilized to advantage. Special attention has been paid to the phonetic transcription and the old method employed in the previous editions has been abandoned in favour of a new one, based in the mainon the well known system of Arnold Schröer, but deviating from the latter in the use of a few symbols, which, in the opinion of the author are better calculated to fulfil the purposes for which this book is in tended. The latest (19,?5) edition of Duden has been followed as being the standard work on the orthography of the German language.
