Kumusi ya Kiswahili - Kiingereza hii ilichapishwa mwaka wa 1903. Utaona jinsi maneno hubadilika maana yao baada ya muda mrefu. Jifunze Kiswahili sanifu cha kale kupitia kitabu hiki. This dictionary was published in 1903 by Arthur Cornwallis Madan, a British linguist and Anglican missionary who became famous for his research on African languages and his Swahili dictionaries. In 1880 he was sent to Zanzibar, where he learned Swahili and assisted bishop Edward Steere in his language research and translation work. When Steere died in August 1882, Madan finished Steere's manuscript of a Swahili grammar until the end of the year. ("A handbook of the Swahili language as spoken at Zanzibar, edited for the Universities' Mission to Central Africa"). Madan was considered the mission's chief linguist in East Africa. He continued to work on Swahili dictionaries. Initially this was a pioneer's work, as Ludwig Krapf's dictionary of Swahili, the first for this language, had not yet been published.[3] In 1894 Madan's English-Swahili dictionary was published, followed by a Swahili-English dictionary in 1903.
