This compact little volume contains about 40,000 synonymous words, printed in clear, distinct type.

It is a work which will substantially aid speakers, writers, teachers and students—in fact all who would gain a more copious vocabulary and increase their power of expression.

It includes the really important matter of the more bulky volumes which are commonly sold for two dollars or more.

A great choice of words is here placed at the service of the writer and the speaker.

The Appendix, containing "Prepositions Compared and Discriminated," and "A List showing what Prepositions to use after certain Words," is a trustworthy guide in a great number of cases of doubtful usage. A writer's knowledge of English idiom and his style are best shown by his use of these little hinges of the language.


Price, each, in cloth, 50 cents, except when other price is given.
