The manuscript of this Brief English-Interglossa Dictionary is kept among Hogben's papers at the University of Birmingham. In 2014 I ordered a digital copy of it, transcribed it, and put it online.

I have placed the preface at the end. I only advance the note about many English verb-nouns expressed by Hogben like this: 

• hate = MISO with ESTHE. 

Which means: 

• hate (n.) MISO; (v.) ESTHE MISO.
