This  is  a  digital  copy  of  a  book  that  was  preserved  for  generations  on  library  shelves  before  it  was  carefully  scanned  by  Google  as  part  of  a  project 

to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject 

to  copyright  or  whose  legal  copyright  term  has  expired.  Whether  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  may  vary  country  to  country.  Public  domain  books 

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover. 

Marks,  notations  and  other  maiginalia  present  in  the  original  volume  will  appear  in  this  file  -  a  reminder  of  this  book's  long  journey  from  the 

publisher  to  a  library  and  finally  to  you. 

Usage  guidelines 

Google  is  proud  to  partner  with  libraries  to  digitize  public  domain  materials  and  make  them  widely  accessible.  Public  domain  books  belong  to  the 
public  and  we  are  merely  their  custodians.  Nevertheless,  this  work  is  expensive,  so  in  order  to  keep  providing  tliis  resource,  we  liave  taken  steps  to 
prevent  abuse  by  commercial  parties,  including  placing  technical  restrictions  on  automated  querying. 
We  also  ask  that  you: 

+  Make  non-commercial  use  of  the  files  We  designed  Google  Book  Search  for  use  by  individuals,  and  we  request  that  you  use  these  files  for 
personal,  non-commercial  purposes. 

+  Refrain  fivm  automated  querying  Do  not  send  automated  queries  of  any  sort  to  Google's  system:  If  you  are  conducting  research  on  machine 
translation,  optical  character  recognition  or  other  areas  where  access  to  a  large  amount  of  text  is  helpful,  please  contact  us.  We  encourage  the 
use  of  public  domain  materials  for  these  purposes  and  may  be  able  to  help. 

+  Maintain  attributionTht  GoogXt  "watermark"  you  see  on  each  file  is  essential  for  in  forming  people  about  this  project  and  helping  them  find 
additional  materials  through  Google  Book  Search.  Please  do  not  remove  it. 

+  Keep  it  legal  Whatever  your  use,  remember  that  you  are  responsible  for  ensuring  that  what  you  are  doing  is  legal.  Do  not  assume  that  just 
because  we  believe  a  book  is  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  the  United  States,  that  the  work  is  also  in  the  public  domain  for  users  in  other 
countries.  Whether  a  book  is  still  in  copyright  varies  from  country  to  country,  and  we  can't  offer  guidance  on  whether  any  specific  use  of 
any  specific  book  is  allowed.  Please  do  not  assume  that  a  book's  appearance  in  Google  Book  Search  means  it  can  be  used  in  any  manner 
anywhere  in  the  world.  Copyright  infringement  liabili^  can  be  quite  severe.

The  ptirpose  of  this  bcx>k,  as  oonoaved  by 
the  autiior,  is  not  to  attempt  to  create  or  to 
influence  usage  by  pointing  out  which  words 
should  or  should  not  be  used,  nor  to  explain  the 
meaning  of  terms,  but  simply  to  provide  in  a 
form  convenient  for  reference  and  study  the 
words  that  can  be  used,  leaving  it  to  those  who 
consult  its  pages  to  determine  for  themselves^ 
with  the  aid  of  a  dictionary  if  necessary,  which 
words  supply  the  information  they  are  looking 
for  or  express  most  accurately  the  thoughts 
in  their  minds.  The  questions,  therefore,  that 
were  constantly  in  the  author's  mind  while  he 
was  preparing  the  manuscript  were  not,  is 
this  word  used?  nor  should  it  be  used?  but  is  it 
a  word  that  some  one  may  want  to  know  as  a 
matter  of  information  or  to  use  in  giving  ex- 
pression to  some  thought?  When  the  word 
in  question  seemed  to  be  one  that  would  be  of 
service  it  was  given  a  place  in  the  collection  to 
which  it  belongs.  Believing  the  book  wotdd 
be  consulted  by  students  and  workers  in  special 
fields,  the  author  incorporated  into  it  nmny 


Ohrl 

words,  including  some  technical  terms,  that 
might,  in  the  case  of  a  work  of  more  restricted 
usefidness,  have  been  omitted. 

It  happens  frequently  that  the  word  which 
one  thinks  of  first  does  not  express  the  exact 
shade  of  thought  one  desires  to  express  and 
some  other  word  of  similar  meaning  is  necessary. 
For  this  reason  there  is,  for  those  who  want  to 
write  and  speak  with  precision  and  effectiveness, 
an  important  use  for  collections  of  synonyms. 
Throughout  this  book  synonyms  means  words 
that  are  similar  in  meaning  or  which  express 
the  same  general  idea  with  shades  of  difference. 
Those  who  use  this  work  should  bear  in  mind  that 
all  words  that  are  classified  as  synonyms  cannot 
be  used  interchangeably;  that  there  are  differ- 
ences in  meaning  between  them;  and  that,  before 
using  an  unfamiliar  word,  they  should  ascer- 
tain its  meaning  and  usage  in  a  dictionary. 
Anton}mis  are  words  that  are  opposed  to  an- 
other word  in  meaning.  Such  words  are 
helpful  when  it  is  desired  to  express  contrasted 
or  conflicting  ideas  or  thoughts.  In  many 
instances,  however,  a  list  of  antonyms  is  un-  n 
necessary.  For  example,  no  antonyms  of  good 
are  found  after  the  synonyms  of  that  word 
because  one  thinks  of  bad  instantly  when  con« 
sidering  the  opposite  of  good;  and  tmder  bad 
numerous  synonyms,  which  are  also  the  anto* 
nyms  of  good,  are  found. 

It  is  not  an  infrequent  occurrence  for  a  word 


M 

to  be  reqtured  that  is  neither  a  synonym  nor  an 
antonym  of  a  familiar  term  but  merely  asso« 
dated^th  it  in  meamng  and  usage  Such 
a  word  cannot  when  unknown  or  momentarily 
forgotten  be  easily  fotmd  in  a  dictionary.  In 
this  yolume  collections  of  such  words  are  found 
after  the  general  terms  with  which  they  are 
associated.  This  feature  of  the  book  will  be 
of  service  as  a  memory-help  when  a  word  cannot 
be  recalled  and  also,  which  is  perhaps  of  greater 
importance,  by  enabling  writers  and  students 
to  learn  of  words  objectiyely  or  through  their 
associations. 

By  turning  to  the  word  that  is  thought  of 
first  or  to  the  word  with  which  the  term  that  is 
wanted  is  associated  and  reading  the  collections 
there  presented,  any  word  that  may  be  desired 
will  be  found. 

The  author  spared  no  effort  to  make  his  work 
as  complete  as  possible;  and  he  belieyes  that 
it  will  be  appreciated  for  its  comprehensiyeness, 
modernity,  and  practical  usefuhiess.  He  will 
be  pleased  to  receiye  from  those  who  use  his 
book  any  suggestions  relatiye  to  changes, 
corrections,  or  additions  that  might  make  the 
work  more  usefuL  He  may  be  addressed  in 
care  of  the  publishers.
