Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Synonyms of the New Testament
Claiming for these lectures a wider audience than at first they had, I cannot forbear to add a few observations on the value of the study of synonyms, not any longer having in my eye the peculiar needs of any special body of students, but generally; and on that of the Synonyms of the New Testament in particular as also on the helps to the study of these which are at present in existence; with a few further remarks which my own experience has suggested.
The value of this study as a discipline for training the mind into close and accurate habits of thought, the amount of instruction which may be drawn from it, the increase of intellectual wealth which it may yield, all this has been implicitly recognized by well-nigh all great writers - for well nigh all from time to time have paused, themselves to play the dividers and discerners of words - explicitly by not a few.
