Not illustrated. 1882 Excerpt: ...of close attention. Johnson. For want of a process of events, neither knowledge nor elegance preserve the reader from weariness. Johnson. The cattle in the fields show evident symptoms of Uissitude and disgust in an unpleasant season. Cuwpeh. FAVORABLE, PROPITIOUS. In a former paragraph (v. Auspicious) I have shown propitious to be a species of the favorable, namely, the favorable as it springs from the design of an agent; what is propitious, therefore, is always favorable, but not vice versa: the favorable properly characterizes both persons and things; the propitious, in the proper sense, characterizes the person only: as applied to persons, an equal may be favorable; a superior only is propitious: the one may be favorable only in inclination; the latter is favorable also in granting timely assistance. Cato was favorable to Pompey; the gods were propitious to the Greeks: we may all wish to have our friends favorable to our projects; none but heathens expect to have a blind destiny propitious. In the improper sense, propitious may be applied to things with a similar distinction: whatever is well-disposed to us, and seconds our endeavors, or serves our purpose, is favorable; whatever efficaciously protects us, speeds our exertions, and decides our success, is propitious to us: on ordinary occasions, a wind is said to be favorable which carries us to the end of our voyage; but it is said to be propitious if the rapidity of our passage forwards any great purpose of our own. You have, indeed, every favorable circumstance for your advancement that can be wished. Melmoth's Letters Of Cicero. But ah 1 what use of valor can be made, When Heaven's propitious powers refuse their aid? Dhyden. FEARFUL, DREADFUL, FRIGHTFUL, TREMENDOUS, TKRRIBLE, TERRIFIC, HORRIBLE, HOR...

Excerpt from English Synonymes Explained, in Alphabetical Order: With Copious Illustrations and Examples Drawn From the Best WritersIT may seem surprising that the English, who have em ployed their talents successfiflly in every branch of literature, and in none more than in that of philology, should yet have fallen below other nations in the study of their synonymes it cannot however be denied that, whilst the French and Germans have had several considerable works on the subject, we have not a single writer who has treated it in a scientific manner adequate to its importance: not that I wish by this remark to depreciate the labors of those who have preceded me; but simply to assign it as a reason why I have now been induced to come forward with an attempt to fill up what is considered a chasm in English literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from English Synonymes Explained, in Alphabetical Order: With Copious Illustrations and Examples Drawn From the Best WritersMy first object certainly has been to assist the philologicsl inquirer in ascertaining the force and comprehension of the English language; yet I should have thought my work but half completed had I made it a mere register of verbal dis tinctions. While others seize every opportunity unblush ingly to avow and zealously to propagate opinions destructive of good order, it would ill become any individual of con trary sentiments to shrink from stating his convictions, when called upon as he seems tobe by an occasion like that which has now ofi'ered itself. As to the rest, I throw myself on the indulgence of the public, conscious that this work will call for it in no small degree. Although I have ob tained their approbation on other occasions, yet it is not without some degree of difiidence that I appear before them on the present notwithstanding the favorable sentence which private friends have passed upon my work.
