Allen's Synonyms and Antonyms (Classic Reprint)

The collation and application of these memoranda have taken me many years of intense labor but these memoranda form the basis upon which the present dictionary has been constructed.

My aim has been to make the se-ope of the book as broad as possible in order to meet the requirements of my most critical advisers, though this has not been easy. Some have urged that obsolete and rare words be omitted' others have advised that they be retained. Some have thought the contextual notes superfluous; others, even among professional writers, have considered them highly valuable. And so with other features of the book.
