PREFACE.

THE main design of this Dictionary is to provide a ready

means of assistance when one is at a loss for a word

or an expression that best suits a particular turn of thought or

mood of the mind, or that may obviate an ungraceful repetition.

Even practised and skilful writers are sometimes embarrassed

in the endeavor to make a sentence more clear, simple, terse,

or rhythmical, by the substitution of one form of diction for

another.
