Excerpt from Intensifying Similes in English: Inaugural Dissertation
It was originally my intention to start an inquiry on a rather large scale, but my attempts in this direction soon made it evident that, owing to causes needless to dwell upon, postal conditions and other circumstances would not make such an inquiry an unqualified success. Nevertheless I have to thank Miss Edith Underwood, of Durham, and several correspondents of Notes Queries for many valuable replies.
