I am delighted to offer to you my occasional paper on James Thomas Molesworth, the editor of the Marathi-English Dictionary project that began in 1818 and has continued to date. Its type was produced in Calcutta two centuries ago; a litho press in Bombay published its first edition in 1831, and another offset press published a new edition in Pune in 1975. It has 920 pages carrying 60,000 words of the 19th century with English translation. In 2020, its digital format is now freely available to anyone anywhere as a website and as apps on smartphones. Please refer to https://dsal.uchicago.edu/dictionaries/molesworth/
It is a fascinating story that has kept me writing for the last three years. I could release it for publication for Pune's Vishwakarma University's Journalism department in a PDF format with 84 pages of Marathi and English contents. The book is in PDF format and can be freely downloaded at http://vuccd.com/james-thomas-molesworth-marathi-english-dictionary-project.
We brought out the publication to mark the 150th death anniversary on July 13, 2021. Please free to download the copy and distribute it among the lovers of the Marathi language.
