A Tagalog English dictionary (Trial Version)

The author's object in compiling and publishing this book is to put before the public a work that will aid both the American and the Filipino in learning either English or Tagalog whichever the case might be.

It has taken about three years to compile it and each word has been thoroughly tested so that the definitions will be found correct.

It is written in what is called the New Tagalog which differs from the old in the following respects. The G has become K, Gui has been shortened to gi; qui has been changed to Ki and w is generally substituted for U. Therefore should a person look for a word that begins with C and fail to find it he should turn to K; should, he be unable to find Qui. In should turn to Ki; and in case of u lie should turn to w.
