Putnam's Sons</p> + +<p>(Under the title <i>Synonyms, Antonyms, and Associated Words</i>)</p> +</div> + + +<div id="bp_preface"> +<h2>Preface</h2> + + + +<p>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, <i>is</i> this +word used? nor <i>should</i> 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.</p> + +<p>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 <i>good</i> are found +after the synonyms of that word because one thinks of <i>bad</i> instantly when +considering the opposite of <i>good</i>; and under <i>bad</i> numerous synonyms, +which are also the antonyms of <i>good</i>, are found.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>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.</p> + +<p>L. A.
