Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.

One evening in a disreputable lodging-house in Paris, "Papa" Ravinet, a dealer in second-hand goods and curiosities, becomes alarmed at what sounds to him to be the last gasps of someone dying. Forcing the disinterested concierge and his wife to investigate, the life of a young woman is saved. No one knows the true identity of this young woman, Miss Henrietta. She was brought to the lodging-house a number of months previously by a young gentleman who said she was his cousin from the provinces whose family had lost its fortune. As Ravinet sees the addresses on the two letters the distressed young woman left, a sudden light brightens his eyes and a wicked smile plays on his lips. This is quite a long book, but it held my interest. Once I was about half-way through, I could scarcely stop reading as I was so anxious to find out what was going to happen next.
