+(Under the title _Synonyms, Antonyms, and Associated Words_)
+
+
+
+
+Preface
+
+
+
+The purpose of this book, as conceived by the author, 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 expression 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 would be consulted by students and workers in special
+fields, the author incorporated into it many words, including some
+technical terms, that might, in the case of a work of more restricted
+usefulness, 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 differences in meaning between them; and that, before using an
+unfamiliar word, they should ascertain its meaning and usage in a
+dictionary. Antonyms are words that are opposed to another 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 unnecessary. For example, no antonyms of _good_ are found
+after the synonyms of that word because one thinks of _bad_ instantly when
+considering the opposite of _good_; and under _bad_ numerous synonyms,
+which are also the antonyms of _good_, are found.
+
+It is not an infrequent occurrence for a word to be required that is
+neither a synonym nor an antonym of a familiar term but merely associated
+with it in meaning and usage. Such a word cannot when unknown or
+momentarily forgotten be easily found in a dictionary. In this volume
+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
+objectively 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 believes that it will be appreciated for its comprehensiveness,
+modernity, and practical usefulness. He will be pleased to receive from
+those who use his book any suggestions relative to changes, corrections,
+or additions that might make the work more useful. He may be addressed in
+care of the publishers.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
