Reprint of the original, first published in 1843.
This book is a pioneering study of synonymy, the phenomenon of having multiple words or expressions that convey the same or similar meanings. The author, Hester Lynch Piozzi, was a writer and patron of arts who published this work in 1794 as a contribution to the linguistic and cultural debates of her time. The book contains thousands of examples of synonyms and antonyms drawn from English literature and conversation, along with witty remarks, anecdotes, and observations on language and society. The book remains a classic in the field of lexicography and a valuable source of insight into the art of conversation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

Mrs. Piozzi, by her second marriage, was by her first marriage the Mrs. Thrale in whose house at Streatham Doctor Johnson was, after the year of his first introduction, 1765, in days of infirmity, an honoured and a cherished friend. The year of the beginning of the friendship was the year in which Johnson, fifty-six years old, obtained his degree of LL.D. from Dublin, and-though he never called himself Doctor-was thenceforth called Doctor by all his friends. Before her marriage Mrs. Piozzi had been Miss Hesther Lynch Salusbury, a young lady of a good Welsh family. She was born in the year 1740, and she lived until the year 1821. She celebrated her eightieth birthday on the 27th of January, 1820, by a concert, ball, and supper to six or seven hundred people, and led off the dancing at the ball with an adopted son for partner. When Johnson was first introduced to her, as Mrs. Thrale, she was a lively, plump little lady, twenty-five years old, short of stature, broad of build, with an animated face, touched, according to the fashion of life in her early years, with rouge, which she continued to use when she found that it had spoilt her complexion. Her hands were rather coarse, but her handwriting was delicate.
