optic.]
A general view, or a collection of heads or parts so arranged
as to exhibit a general view of the whole; an abstract or
summary of a discourse; a syllabus; a conspectus.
That the reader may see in one view the exactness of
the method, as well as force of the argument, I shall
here draw up a short synopsis of this epistle. --Bp.

syllabus; conspectus. See {Abridgment}.
