      Syn: {Beside}, {Besides}.
  
      Usage: These words, whether used as prepositions or adverbs,
                  have been considered strictly synonymous, from an
                  early period of our literature, and have been freely
                  interchanged by our best writers. There is, however, a
                  tendency, in present usage, to make the following
                  distinction between them: 1. That beside be used only
                  and always as a preposition, with the original meaning
                  [bd]by the side of; [b8] as, to sit beside a fountain;
                  or with the closely allied meaning [bd]aside from[b8],
                  [bd]apart from[b8], or [bd]out of[b8]; as, this is
                  beside our present purpose; to be beside one's self
                  with joy. The adverbial sense to be wholly transferred
                  to the cognate word. 2. That besides, as a
                  preposition, take the remaining sense [bd]in addition
                  to[b8], as, besides all this; besides the
                  considerations here offered. [bd]There was a famine in
                  the land besides the first famine.[b8] --Gen. xxvi. 1.
                  And that it also take the adverbial sense of
                  [bd]moreover[b8], [bd]beyond[b8], etc., which had been
                  divided between the words; as, besides, there are
                  other considerations which belong to this case. The
                  following passages may serve to illustrate this use of
                  the words:
  
                           Lovely Thais sits beside thee.      --Dryden.
  
                           Only be patient till we have appeased The
                           multitude, beside themselves with fear. --Shak.
  
                           It is beside my present business to enlarge on
                           this speculation.                        --Locke.
  
                           Besides this, there are persons in certain
                           situations who are expected to be charitable.

                           there stand I in much peril.         --Shak.
  
                           That man that does not know those things which
                           are of necessity for him to know is but an
                           ignorant man, whatever he may know besides.
                                                                              --Tillotson.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Acquaintance \Ac*quaint"ance\, n. [OE. aqueintance, OF.
      acointance, fr. acointier. See {Acquaint}.]
      1. A state of being acquainted, or of having intimate, or
            more than slight or superficial, knowledge; personal
            knowledge gained by intercourse short of that of
            friendship or intimacy; as, I know the man; but have no
            acquaintance with him.
  
                     Contract no friendship, or even acquaintance, with a
                     guileful man.                                    --Sir W.
                                                                              Jones.
  
      2. A person or persons with whom one is acquainted.

                                                                              --Macaulay.
  
      Note: In this sense the collective term acquaintance was
               formerly both singular and plural, but it is now
               commonly singular, and has the regular plural
               acquaintances.

      {To take acquaintance of} or {with}, to make the acquaintance
            of. [Obs.]
  
      Syn: Familiarity; intimacy; fellowship; knowledge.
  
      Usage: {Acquaintance}, {Familiarity}, {Intimacy}. These words
                  mark different degrees of closeness in social
                  intercourse. Acquaintance arises from occasional
                  intercourse; as, our acquaintance has been a brief
                  one. We can speak of a slight or an intimate
                  acquaintance. Familiarity is the result of continued
                  acquaintance. It springs from persons being frequently
                  together, so as to wear off all restraint and reserve;
                  as, the familiarity of old companions. Intimacy is the
                  result of close connection, and the freest interchange
                  of thought; as, the intimacy of established
                  friendship.
  
                           Our admiration of a famous man lessens upon our
                           nearer acquaintance with him.      --Addison.
  
                           We contract at last such a familiarity with them
                           as makes it difficult and irksome for us to call
                           off our minds.                              --Atterbury.
  
                           It is in our power to confine our friendships
                           and intimacies to men of virtue.   --Rogers.
