The treatment of synonyms in the Standard will be a characteristic of the Dictionary. The idea will be to bring out the finer, nicer distinctions of words, especially with reference to correct, established usage at the present day. To do this in the most helpful way, synonymous words will be treated, as far as possible, in groups, to which the individual words will be duly referred, so that by turning to the key-word, the reader will have all the terms, with their proper discriminations before the eye at once. This will be found much more helpful than the fragmentary method often followed. A sample of this method is the following treatment of INSANITY (the definition which will be given in the Dictionary being

here omitted):

Synonyms, aberration, alienation, craziness, delirium, dementia, derangement, frenzy, hallucination, lunacy, madness, mania, monomania. Insanity, craziness, derangement, lunacy and madness are general terms; of these insanity is the most exact and comprehensive, including, in its widest sense, all morbid conditions of mind; but, in the more frequent restricted sense, including only such forms of mental disorder as are persistent. Craziness is a vague, popular term for any sort of disordered mental action, or for conduct suggesting it. Lunacy originally denoted intermittent insanity, supposed to be dependent on the changes of the moon (L. luna); the term is now applied in general and in legal use to any form of mental unsoundness, except idiocy, but chiefly to insanity of a mild type. Madness is the old, popular term, now less common, for insanity in its widest sense, but with suggestion of excitement akin to mania; we speak of melancholy madness when it is regarded as very deep and intense. In the derived sense, lunacy denotes what is insanely foolish, madness what is insanely desperate. Derangement is commonly thought of as one of the slighter forms of mental disorder, and likely to be curable; hence the word is a common euphemism for insanity of any type. Delirium is always temporary, and is characterized by incoherence of thought, with a tendency to wildness and perhaps frenzy; delirium is specifically the insanity of disease, as in acute fevers, or of intoxication from the use of alcohol, opium, etc. Dementia is a general weakening of the mental powers by age or disease, resulting in imbecility; It is specifically applied to senile insanity, dotage. Aberration is eccentricity of mental action, due to an abnormal state of the perceptive faculties, and is manifested by error in the perceptions and

It is the chief function of a dictionary to spell and pronounce words and tell their derivation and meaning. We are also endeavoring to keep in mind that description is one thing and definition another. It is comparatively easy to fill many volumes with interesting cyclopedic matter, but as the Standard is to be a single-volume Dictionary and to contain scores of thousands of words not to be found in any other single-volume work, we must confine ourselves closely to definite work.
