A COMPANION TO THE DICTIONARY. Shades of Synonym Meaning Discriminated No two synonyms of a group have precisely the same meaning. Effectiveness of syntax depends largely on the choice of just the right one of several synonyms. Unlike other lists, synonyms are invariably discriminated in this book. Perplexing Prepositions Simplified Quick means are furnished for finding at a glance the correct preposition to use when, as frequently happens, there is doubt. A KEY TO Clear, Sharp Distinctions Furnished Strength and clearness of syntax fre quently 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.
