The Washington Word List

The Washington Word List: Ten Thousand Standard Words is a book written by William Estabrook Chancellor and published in 1906. The book contains a comprehensive list of ten thousand standard words that were commonly used in the English language at the time. The words are arranged in alphabetical order and each entry includes a brief definition and usage examples. The purpose of the book was to provide a standardized list of words that could be used in written and spoken communication, particularly in government and business settings. The author believed that a common vocabulary would improve communication and reduce misunderstandings. The Washington Word List was widely used in schools, universities, and government agencies in the United States in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
