Synonyms and antonyms
Edith B. Ordway's handbook, published in New York in 1913, is an alphabetical list of words in common use, each grouped with others of similar and opposite meaning. More than five thousand leading words are given, and the synonyms and antonyms attached to them bring several thousand more into play, so that a writer looking for the right word can move quickly from a familiar term to its neighbors and its contraries. The preface explains the method and the abbreviations. Compact and practical, the book was made for students, letter writers and anyone who wanted to vary their vocabulary, and it remains useful as a quick reference. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the opening pages are free.
