Excerpt from English Synonymes: With Copious Illustrations and Explanations; Drawn From the Best WritersA roun'ru edition of the Enomsn Smommss having now become desirable, the Author has for some time past occcupied himself in making such additions and improvements, as he deems calculated materially to enhance its value as a work of criticism. The alphabetical arrangement of the words is exchanged for one of a more scientifick character, arising from their alliance in sense or from the general nature of the subjects: thus affording the advantage of a more con useted explanation of terms, more or less allied to each other. At the same time the purpose of reference is more fully answered by an index so c0pious that the reader may immediately turn to the particular article sought for. The subject matter of several articles has been considerahy enlarged, and such amplifications admitted as may serve to place the Svrtomrrus in a clearer point of view, particularly by comparing them With the corresponding words in the original languages whence they are derived. The English quotations have likewise undergone several alterations both in their number and order, so as to adapt them to the other changes which have been introduced throughout the work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
