The exertion of clothing a thought in a completely new set of words

increases both clearness of thought and mastery over words. It is the test of

a solid thought that it will bear a change of clothing. - J. R. SEELEY.

PREFACE.

THE main design of this Dictionary is to provide a ready

means of assistance when one is at a loss for a word

meaning as itself, or a meaning very nearly the same. That one

be found in that group. But in some instances, as when the

same word falls into two or more groups that are near to each

other, or when there are so many synonymes for a word that a

repetition of every one of them under each in its alphabetical

place would seem to be too formal and prolix, the inquirer is

referred to some prominent word among them for a view of the

whole. Under the word Blockhead, for example, reference is
