I found this dictionary rather frustrating, at least for pupils with English as a foreign language. The explanations often used words I didn't know, so I had to read several other entries, until I finally lost track of what I was looking for.

(I've used the 1984 edition at that time, so maybe the

dictionary has improved since. Recommendation: try the Collins English Dictionary.)

This book was first published in 1948 and reprinted twelve times. This is the second edition in 1963. I got this book Educational Book Depot, Hyderabad, West Pakistan in 1965.
