Clear, Sharp Distinctions
Furnished

Strength and clearness of syntax frequently depend upon antithesis or direct contrast. The number of antonyms in this book is seemingly less than that of synonyms. This is because, in many cases, the synonyms of one group are the antonyms of another. Valuable Education Furnished

A series of practical exercises on the correct use of words is supplied, accompanied by quotations by the best authors.

"Will be found invaluable to students, and to all English speakers who want to use their noble tongue effectively."-Minneapolis Journal.

"This is a book of importance, and invaluable to teacher, student, and speaker. The excellence of the volume is testified to by the leading literary authorities in the United States."-The New York Times.
