PREFACE
THE
aim in compiling
of words
this
book has been to make the
common
use concise yet full, and

authoritative yet suggestive.
Above five thousand leading
words are given, and the synonyms and antonyms comprise
list
several thousand
in
more
different words.
Actual references
may be multiplied by looking up a

or
synonym
antonym, as well as by consulting cognate
as
the corresponding noun, verb, or adjective.
words, such
In some cases common words have been omitted, because
they were composed of a root word and a prefix, intensive
or privative. Their synonyms and antonyms may be found
under the root word.
Occasionally within the lists words closely synonymous
or antonymic have been grouped within semicolons.
The part of speech of a word is designated by an abbrevi-
ation in such cases as are necessary to save confusion.

Synonyms appear immediately after the leading word
tonyms,
after
the
abbreviation
"Ant."
This
an-
order
is
invariable.
In the
effort to
dictionaries
ject
make
this list authoritative, the standard
and the acknowledged authorities on the sub-
have been consulted.
