REV. SAMUEL FALLOWS, A.M., B.D. - - -DIGITISED AND RESET BY STEVE WOOD 2016 -OCR, EDITS & EXTENSIVE but not EXHAUSTIVE OCR-CORRECTIONS, -LAYOUT for JUST THE SYNONYMS & ANTONYMS (NOT THE APPENDICES). - -V2 - -Wishing to have an extensive list of Synonyms and Antonyms for another -project, I settled on Fallows’ amazing publication. However, I could -not find an OCR text which was clear of the many OCR-scan errors. I -did my own OCR, which joined many of the line-end hyphenated words -automatically, but which still resulted in a very large number of -nearly identical (to other OCR scans) errors. This is probably not -the fault of the OCR software, but rather of the quality of the 19th -Century source type and ink, which tended to be far from crisp. The -software was not entirely perfect though and it would often invert -n and u, or render either of those letters as ii, and render i as l -(lower case L). R and K were regularly mixed, so ROCK could be rendered -as KOCR – if it managed to get the circular letters correct. Just one -example of variation is to be found in the rendering of the coded -abbreviation for SYNONYM, ‘SYN.’ It might be rendered with a period, -comma, both or none; and some of these variations were recorded: \ -BTH \ 2vN. \ 8 vs. \ BYN, \ KYN. \ PYN. \ RYN. \ SIN, \ Srn. \ STIC. -\ STK. \ STN. \ STN., \ STW. \ SVN \ SXN. \ SY.V. \ SY:. \ SYH. \ -SYK. \ SYN, \ Syn, \ SYN. \ SYN. \ SYN. \ SYS,. \ SYS. \ SYW. \ SYX\. -and \ YX\. ! I know! Grrr! - -Anyhow, with lots of rekeying, lots of rules to fix as many as -aberrations as possible, and employing a personal digital dictionary -of over 600,000 words, I checked many of the fragments and verified -that the OCR scanner had done very well, in fact. Those fragments which -eventually could not be distinguished by eye or logic were left ‘as -is’ and bracketed thus: {[unreadable]?}. When replaced into the text -in their correct sequence, some of those could be deduced from their -context, but I will leave that for the next editor (possibly you, dear -reader.) The dictionary is not perfect or complete, and it did not -distinguish n-Grams which are clearly adequate language. Having -corrected many broken words, I re-sorted them back into original order, -added ‘KEY:’ to the principal, and pasted the lot to the Word Processor -(below) for study, uploading and further corrections. - -I did, in fact, Google several scores of unrecognised but -right-looking words and found many were accurate though out of common -use in today’s English. Victorian English vocab was quite extensive. -Did Fallows do a dictionary of word meanings (I wish)? -• Serendip Clip, Nowra, NSW, Australia, February 2016. - - -Update August, 2022: This is NOT a replication of the book. It is -highly reformatted, apparently to create a parsable file for data -input.
