To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here, too, it must be noted that no hard and fast line can be drawn between the three categories: some of the words given under Metaphor might from a certain point of view be regarded as Sy- necdoche, just as some of the words under Metonymy and Synecdoche might equally well be looked upon as Metaphors. So, for instance, Arcady, in developing the secondary meaning of 'a place and state of simple happiness', might be called an example of Synecdoche if we are thinking exclusively of a place with ...the same qualities as Arcadia. There is another point on which it is not advisable to be too positive: viz., that the place-name always passed into an appellative in the way we have suggested. In ^act, it is impossible to deny with certainty that in this or that example there has been an ellipsis and that the development has taken place according to the mode given in division B., although every trace of it is lost; and we must, therefore, often content ourselves with stating the likely way in which the transition has taken place.
