Defining terms. The word excellence here used as nearly synonym with holiness. What is meant by calling the work a Guide. The term Woman—why preferable, as a general term, to Lady. The class to whom this work is best adapted.

It has been said, and with no little truth, that a large proportion of the disputes in the world might have been avoided, had the disputants first settled the meaning of the terms they respectively used.

Something less than a word—a look or a smile of approbation—may move more than a continent. It may move not merely a West,1 but an Alexander, a Cæsar, a Napoleon, a Washington and a Howard—men who, in their turn, moved a world!
