"Homer, in all probability, knew no rules of rhetoric, and was not tortured with the consideration of grammatical construction, and yet his verse will endure through time. If everybody possessed the genius of Homer, rules and cautions in writing would be unnecessary. To-day all men speak, and most men write, but it is observed that those who most closely follow Homer's method of writing without rules are most unlike Homer in the results. The ancient bard was a law unto himself; we need rules for our guidance.".

Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from Synonyms: Designed to Give Skill in the Choice and Right Use of Words, and to Afford Variety and Facility in Expression The purpose of this book, as, indeed, of all books of this character, is to assist the writer in finding the best word to express his thought. Even the most skillful writers are sometimes embarrassed in their effort to make a sentence more clear, or simple, or terse, or musical. The word synonym literally implies an exact coincidence of meaning of two or more words. If this definition were rigidly followed we should have no books of synonyms, for the occasions are very rare in which one word is the exact equivalent of another.
