  INTRODUCTION
  TO
  THE AMERICAN EDITION.


Dr. Ludwig Döderlein, the author of this work, was born in 1791, and
became Professor in the University of Erlangen. He is an eminent
philologist, and the author of several valuable philological works. The
most important of these are: “The Formation of Latin Words;” “A Homeric
Glossary;” “Handbook of Latin Etymology;” “Latin Synonymes and
Etymologies,” in six volumes; on this he labored more than twelve years,
the first volume appearing in 1826, the last in 1828. From this latter
work, the volume here presented was prepared by the author, and first
published in 1840. After a familiarity of several years with most of the
best manuals on Latin Synonymes, we find this superior to any of them,
and better adapted to the wants of the student. It shows an intimate and
comprehensive acquaintance with the language, and a nice discrimination
between the significations of words having a greater or less similarity
of meaning. The distinctions are generally well founded, and clearly
stated. While at times the distinction may seem to be too refined and
subtle, careful observation and more extended study will usually correct
such an impression. The difference between related words may proceed
from a variety of sources. It may be that of genus and species; or it
may be historical, one being used at one time and the other at a
different one; or one is abstract, the other concrete; one is literal,
the other figurative; one is the more common expression, the other the
more elegant; one is a prose word, the other poetical; one belongs to
one kind of poetry, and the other to another. The difference also
consists in the point of view which the writer takes. _Quies_ is rest;
_requies_ also is rest; but the latter word shows that the writer has in
mind a previous state of _unrest_. There are other differences also
growing out of the essential nature of the words.

The advantages of the study of synonymes in a classical course, are too
great to be neglected. A knowledge of them gives to the student a
fulness and precision of his author’s meaning otherwise unattainable.
The point of a sentence often turns upon a delicate shade of thought
conveyed by a particular word, which another of similar signification
would not give; if this delicate shade is not appreciated, the writer’s
thought is either misapprehended, or but imperfectly understood.

Again, the habit of observing the proper use of words related to each
other in meaning, as whether one is generic, and the other specific, one
abstract, the other concrete, one literal, the other figurative, or
whatever be the ground and nature of the difference, is one of the
essential benefits of classical study. The whole process of such study,
when rightly conducted, is that of “arbitrating between conflicting
probabilities;” and the closest power of arbitration is often requisite
in determining the particular idea conveyed by related words. Or, if the
distinctions are drawn out, as they are in a treatise on synonymes, the
mind of the student is trained to close and discriminating observation,
in being required to note and fix these distinctions, and to give a
definite form to them in his own mind, and to express them in his own
language.

Besides the more direct advantages resulting from the study of
synonymes, an increased interest will thereby be given to classical
studies There is a natural fondness in the youthful mind for the process
of comparison, for tracing resemblances and differences. This element
should not be neglected when it can be turned to so good account. It
will help to relieve the tedium and barrenness of classical study, as
too often conducted, and to give some living features to languages which
are too generally looked upon as “dead.”

The meaning of a particular word is often given more distinctly by
stating its opposite. The relation, or shade of thought, which cannot be
conveyed fully by a direct definition, nor perhaps, indeed, by words at
all, is made clear and distinct by showing to what it is opposed. This
valuable means of elucidation, the author has used with great success in
this work.

While the author has “omitted all detail in the treatment of Greek
synonymes” in this compend, he has very wisely sought out the nearest
corresponding Greek expression, and placed it with the Latin word to be
explained. Thus the Greek word, to the more advanced scholar, will often
throw light upon the Latin, and the Latin in turn upon the Greek. In
this way the work is indirectly valuable in elucidating Greek synonymes.

The present edition of this work is reprinted from the second London
edition, which is essentially the same as the first, with a few
corrections and improvements.

THE AUTHOR’S PREFACE.


The wish has been expressed to me from different quarters, and
particularly by several respectable schoolmasters, to see the essential
results of my larger work on Latin Synonymes and Etymologies compressed
into a Hand-book. Although within the twelve years since I began to work
at the long-neglected study of Latin Synonymes, the market has been
almost glutted with works of the same sort, in the form of hand-books,
by Habicht, Ramshorn, Jentzen, and Schmalfeld, I have not, on that
acount, the least hesitation in complying with the wish expressed to me,
by publishing the present Abridgment; for, in asserting that my method
and the arrangement of my materials are totally distinct from what have
been adopted by those deserving authors, I trust that I am neither
extolling myself, nor underrating them. The Abridgment which I here
submit to the Public contains, I hope, all that is essential in my
larger work;--to effect which object I have omitted certain things of
less direct importance; namely,--

First,--All etymological deductions. Not wishing, however, entirely to
renounce my principle of associating the etymology with the synonyme,
I have inserted it between parentheses, whenever it was not either so
obvious as to make the insertion unnecessary, or so far-fetched as to
make the etymology doubtful. Many instances of this sort will and must,
especially to him who is not conversant with etymological researches,
appear singularly uncouth; but it would have led me too far to refer, in
every instance, to the principles established in the Treatise on the
Formation of Latin Words, which I have subjoined to my larger work as a
Supplement. I must, therefore, entreat those readers and critics into
whose hands my treatise has not fallen, to ignore (if I may use a law
term) the words included between parentheses, or to suspend their
verdict concerning them.

Secondly,--I have omitted all parallel passages, and such as have an
affinity with each other, without possessing any stringent force as
proofs. On the other hand, I have given at length those passages in the
classics in which the ancients, in the course of speech, and not by
means of grammatical reflections, have introduced synonymes in contrast
with each other, and thus taught their differences; and where such
passages were wanting, I have frequently brought into juxta-position
several passages from one and the same author, in which he seems to have
indicated some peculiar force in a particular expression.

Thirdly,--I have omitted all critical and exegetical discussions. The
more scientific form of my larger work not only afforded me the
opportunity, but imposed the obligation of entering upon such
discussions; but in the present Abridgment I have thought it best,
except in a very few cases, to omit them altogether.

Fourthly,--I have omitted all detail in the treatment of the Greek
synonymes. Nevertheless, I have thought it of essential importance to
search for the nearest corresponding expression, both in the Greek and
German languages, and place them by the side of the Latin synonyme; and
at the same time to ascertain, and make intuitive, as it were, the
precise meaning and extent of the Latin expression, by the introduction
of such words as are strictly in opposition to it.

Fifthly,--I have omitted the views of other writers on synonymes. In my
larger work I introduced, often only as literary curiosities,
distinctions derived from the Latin grammarians, Varro, Cicero,
Agrætius, Pseudo-fronto, and Pseudo-palæmon; and I also quoted, whether
agreeing with or differing from me, the modern writers on synonymes,
Popma, Hill, Dumesnil, Smitson, Habicht, Ramshorn, Jentzen, and others.
Instead of which I must here content myself with merely referring to
such quotations as are contained in my larger work; and have therefore
added, at the end of each article, the volume and page of that work in
which these quotations are to be found.

Sixthly,--I have omitted such synonymes as are of very rare occurrence,
and distinguished from each other by a very slight difference. In my
larger work I have treated as synonymes many expressions, ἅπαξ εἰρημένα,
that occur but once, and whose differences, on that very account, cannot
be deduced from the general usage of the language, but can merely be
guessed at from etymology and other sources. Such expressions are of no
importance with reference to the object of this Hand-book. The same may
be said of many synonymes which can be distinguished, as it were, only
by a microscope. Such synonymes are found throughout my larger work in
great numbers, and have drawn upon me the reproach of “hair-splitting.”
The fact I must acknowledge, but cannot admit it to be a reproach; for
surely it is the proper vocation of a scientific writer on synonymes,
not so much to distinguish words that merely resemble each other in
meaning, as those that are apparently equivalent. The greater their
apparent equivalence, the more difficult it is to grasp their essential
difference, and the more indispensable the aid of a guide to synonymes.
If, therefore, it be admitted, that words identical in meaning do not
exist, and that it is morally impossible, if I may use the expression,
that they should exist, the only questions are, whether, in such cases,
it is worth while to search out their differences, and whether it is
possible to find them out. Science will answer the first question,
without hesitation, in the affirmative; and with respect to the second,
there can at least be no presumption in making the attempt.
A distinction is soon obtained when several words are contrasted with
the word under consideration; and if these contrasted words are also
synonymous with each other, it must follow, that the affinity of the
several words in meaning is so close, as to permit their interchange, as
synonymes, under all circumstances. Their differences are altogether
unimportant with reference to speaking and writing, but highly important
as far as the intimate and more refined knowledge of the language itself
is concerned. It is on this account that hair-splitting is allowable.
Can there be a doubt that a distinction will be slight in proportion as
it has its origin in the individual feelings of those by whom a language
is used? Such distinctions in synonymes are, consequently, most felt in
one’s native language; it is only necessary that the feelings in which
they have their origin should not be vague and unformed. In the
introduction to the fourth part of my work I have evinced, I hope,
sufficient liberality and tolerance with regard to the obligation of
conforming to these hair-breadth distinctions, and selecting one’s
expressions accordingly. So much in justification of those reprobated
hair-splittings; those discoveries of atoms, or, as my deceased friend
Bremi expressed it, keen discernment of atoms, which in my larger work,
more devoted to science than to instruction, found their proper place;
but in the present Hand-book, intended for the use of schools,
especially in the art of writing Latin, my predilection for such nice
distinctions would be sadly out of place. Distinctions of that sort I
have, therefore, for the most part, omitted, but not with the intention
of silently retracting them.

   *   *   *

I here submit a few observations to the notice of schoolmasters. For the
purposes of instruction, synonymes may be divided into three classes;
the first embraces those which the scholar cannot too quickly learn to
distinguish, because their affinity is merely apparent, arising from
their being translated by the same word in the mother-tongue; for
instance, _liberi_ and _infantes_; _animal_ and _bestia_; _hærere_ and
_pendere_; _sumere_ and _adimere_; _hostis_ and _inimicus_. The
interchange of such synonymes may be counted a blunder of the same sort
as that which is called a solecism. To the second class belong those
synonymes which may be distinguished from each other with ease and
certainty, but which are, at the same time, so nearly related in
meaning, that the ancients themselves use them, without hesitation, as
interchangeable; for instance, _lascivus_ and _petulans_; _parere_ and
_obedire_; _ater_ and _niger_; _incipere_ and _inchoare_; _mederi_ and
_sanare_; _vacuus_ and _inanis_; _spernere_ and _contemnere_;
_tranquillus_ and _quietus_. As long as the scholar has to contend with
the elements of grammar, the teacher may leave him in the erroneous
opinion, that these expressions have exactly the same meaning; but, when
further advanced, he must be taught to distinguish them, partly in order
to accustom him to that propriety of expression which is necessary in
writing Latin; partly, without reference to composition, as a very
useful mental exercise. In the third class I rank those words whose
differences are not to be ascertained without trouble, and cannot be
deduced with full evidence from the old authors, and which, probably,
were but dimly discerned even by the ancients themselves; for instance,
_lira_ and _sulcus_; _remus_ and _tonsa_; _pæne_ and _prope_; _etiam_
and _quoque_; _recordari_ and _reminisci_; _lævus_ and _sinister_;
_velox_ and _pernix_; _vesanus_ and _vecors_; _fatigatus_ and _fessus_;
_collis_ and _clivus_. Such distinctions are of little or no consequence
in composition, except when it is necessary to use synonymous terms in
express opposition to each other; for instance, _mare_ and _amnis_, in
opp. to _lacus_ and _fluvius_; _metus_ and _spes_, in opp. to _timor_
and _fiducia_: when such occasions occur, the richness of a language in
synonymes is available. A more scrupulous exactness in this respect
would appear to me arrant pedantry, and necessarily obstruct the free
movement of the mind in writing. As a teacher, I should wish that the
synonymes of the first sort should be distinguished by boys in the
elementary classes; those of the second, I would introduce into the
higher classes, and teach the scholar, when about fourteen, to observe
their differences in the choice of expressions in composition; I would
also explain them in the interpretation of an author, but with
moderation, as a spur to thinking, not as a clog in reading. Those of
the third class I would never introduce, except in explaining such
passages as render their introduction unavoidable; for instance, when an
author combines _flumina et amnes_, I would explain their difference to
defend him from the suspicion of tautology.

I have consulted convenience of reference in interweaving the
alphabetical index with the context. By this means any one can find at
once the word of which he is in search, which a separate index would
render impossible.

These arrangements, combined with an almost studied precision of
expression, have enabled me to reduce the six volumes of my larger work
on Synonymes (which fills, including the Supplement, more than one
hundred and forty-three sheets) to this Abridgment, of about fifteen.
The etymological part of my researches I reserve for a separate volume,
of about the same size as the present, which will make its appearance as
an Etymological Hand-book of the Latin language.

May the present publication, and that which I announce, meet with the
same favorable and indulgent reception that has fallen to the share of
my larger work with all its defects.

HANDBOOK

OF

LATIN SYNONYMES.


A.

ABDERE, see _Celare_.

ABESSE; DEESSE; DEFICERE. 1. +Abesse+ denotes absence as a local
relation, ‘to be away’ from a place; but +deesse+ denotes an absence by
which a thing is rendered incomplete, and means ‘to fail,’ ‘to be
wanting,’ in opp. to _esse_ and _superesse_. Cic. Brut. 80. Calidio hoc
unum, si nihil utilitatis habebat, _abfuit_, si opus erat, _defuit_.
2. +Deesse+ denotes a _completed_ (_i.e._ already existing), +deficere+
a commencing state. Cic. Verr. i. 11. Vererer ne oratio _deesset_, ne
vox viresque _deficerent_. (v. 339.)

ABNUERE, see _Negare_.

ABOLERE (ἀπολέσαι) means ‘to annul,’ to ‘annihilate,’ and, as far as
possible, to remove from the universe and cast into oblivion; but
+delere+ (διολέσαι, or δηλεῖν) ‘to destroy,’ to bring a thing to nought,
and make it useless.

ABOMINARI; EXSECRARI; DETESTARI. +Abominari+ means to recoil from, as of
evil omen; and to avert a threatening evil by a ceremony, in opp. to
_omen accipere_; +exsecrari+ means to _curse_, when one would exclude a
guilty person from human society as devoted to the infernal gods, in
opp. to blessing; lastly, +detestari+ (θέσσασθαι) means to curse, when
one wishes to deprecate evil by an appeal to the gods against a dreaded
person or thing, in opp. to praying in behalf of.

ABSCONDERE, see _Celare_.

ABSOLVERE, see _Finire_.

ABSTINENTIA, see _Modus_.

ABUNDARE; REDUNDARE. +Abundare+ denotes plenteousness in a good sense,
as the symbol of full measure and affluence, like περιεῖναι, +redundare+
is used in a bad sense, as a symbol of over-abundance and luxury, like
περισσεύειν: of that which is _abundans_ there is an _ample supply_ at
hand; that which is _redundans_ is superfluous and might be dispensed
with.

ABUNDE, see _Satis_.

AC, see _Et_.

ACCENDERE; INCENDERE; INFLAMMARE; COMBURERE; CREMARE. +Accendere+,
+incendere+, and +inflammare+, mean ‘to set on fire:’ +accendere+, from
without, and at a single point, like ἀνάπτειν [hence to _light_ a torch,
etc.]; +incendere+, from within, like ἐνδαίειν [hence to _set fire_ to
_houses_, _villages_]; +inflammare+, ‘to set on fire,’ either from
without or from within, but with bright flames, like ἀναφλογίζειν;
+comburere+ and +cremare+ mean ‘to burn up, or consume by fire;’
+comburere+, with a glowing heat, as the causative of _ardere_, like
κατακαίειν; +cremare+, with bright flames, as the causative of
_flagrare_ like πιμπράναι. Hence, mortui _cremantur_ on a bright blazing
funeral pile; vivi _comburuntur_, Cic. Fam. x. 32. Verr. i. 33 and 38,
in order to make the torture of that mode of dying felt the more.
(iv. 250.)

ACCEPTUS, see _Gratus_.

ACCERSERE, see _Arcessere_.

ACCIDERE; EVENIRE; CONTIGERE; OBVENIRE; OBTINGERE. +Accidere+ and
+evenire+ denote both favorable and unfavorable occurrences; but the
_accidentia_, unexpected ones, overtaking us by surprise; the
_evenientia_ were expected, foreseen; +contingere+, +obvenire+,
+obtingere+, are generally confined to _fortunate_ occurrences. The
_accidentia_ are fortuitous, the _evenientia_ result from foregoing acts
or circumstances; the _contingentia_ are the favors of Fortune; the
_obtingentia_ and _obvenientia_ are the things that fall to one’s _lot_.
Cic. Fam. vi. 21. Timebam, ne _evenirent_, quæ _acciderunt_: the word
_evenirent_ has a _subjective_ reference to his foresight, the word
_acciderunt_ is entirely _objective_; the point of view taken by it
being that of those who _now_ manifest _surprise_. See also Tac. H.
iv. 19, and Sen. Ep. 119. Scies plura mala _contingere_ nobis quam
_accidere_. (v. 339.)

ACCIPERE, see _Sumere_.

ACCIRE, see _Arcessere_.

ACCUSARE, see _Arguere_.

ACER; VEHEMENS. +Acer+ (ὠκύς) denotes eagerness in a good sense, as fire
and energy, in opp. to _frigidus_, like ὀξύς: but +vehemens+ (ἐχόμενος)
in a bad sense, as heat and passion, in opp. to _lenis_; Cic. Or.
ii. 49, 53, like σφοδρός. (iv. 450.)

ACERBUS; AMARUS. +Acerbus+ (from κάρφω) means a biting bitterness, in
opp. to _mitis_, like ὀξύς; +amarus+, a nauseous bitterness, in opp. to
_dulcis_, like πικρός. Quintil. xi. 3. 169. Cic. Rep. iii. 8. Plin.
H. N. xxvii. 9. Sen. Ir. i. 4. (vi. 4.)

ACERVUS; CONGERIES; STRUES; CUMULUS. 1. +Acervus+ and +congeries+ mean
‘heaps’ of homogeneous things collected and piled up in layers;
+acervus+ [from ἀγείρω], like σωρός, with arrangement, and mostly in a
conical shape, but +congeries+, negligently, and altogether without
regard to shape; +strues+ denotes that something new is produced, and a
determinate form given, serving a particular purpose; like θημών. Curt.
viii. 7. 11. Passim _acervos strues_que accendebant; meaning by
_acervos_ ‘_heaps_’ or ‘_piles_,’ by _strues_ ‘_stacks_’ of wood.
2. +Cumulus+ (from ἀκμή) means strictly, not the heap itself, but the
top, by which the heap is completed as a whole, like the key-stone, by
which any thing first reaches its proper and complete height, almost
like κορυφή; and it has this meaning particularly in +cumulare+, which
is like κορυφοῦν. Compare Liv. xxii. 59. Superstantes _cumulis_ cæsorum
corporum, with Cannenses campos _acervi_ Romanorum corporum tegunt: and
xxiii. 5. Molibus ex humanorum corporum _strue_ faciendis. (ii. 118.)

ACHIVI; ACHÆI; ACHAIUS; ACHAICUS; TROIUS; TROICUS. 1. +Achivi+ are the
Homeric Greeks, or Ἀχαῖοι; +Achæi+ are either the inhabitants of Achaia,
or, in the poets, the Greeks at large, as contemporaries of the Romans.
Cic. Divin. i. 16. Cum +Achivi+ cœpissent inter se strepere. Compare
this with Cæcil. 20. Quod cum sibi _Achæi_ patronum adoptarant.
2. +Achaius+ is the adj. of Achivus. Hor. Od. i. 15. 37. Virg. Æn.
ii. 462; but +Achaicus+ is the adj. of Achæus. Cic. Att. i. 13.
3. +Troius+ is the more _select_ term, as adj. of the old heroic and
Homeric Troja; +Troicus+, the usual adj. of the country Troas, without
reference to the Trojan war. (v. 306.)

ACIES; ACUMEN; CACUMEN; MUCRO; CUSPIS. 1. +Acies+ is the sharpness of a
line adapted for cutting; +acumen+, of a tip or point adapted for
sticking. Figuratively, the _acies mentis_ is shown in the keen sifting
of what is confused, in clear perception; the _acumen mentis_ is the
fathoming of that which is deeply hidden, in subtle discovery.
2. +Acumen+ and +cacumen+ mean a natural head or top; +acumen+, of a
cone, beak, and so forth; +cacumen+, particularly that of a mountain:
+mucro+ and +cuspis+ mean an artificial head, for the purpose of
piercing and wounding; +mucro+, that of a sword, dagger, and so forth;
+cuspis+, that of a spear, arrow, etc., like αἰχμή. (vi. 5.)

ACIES, see _Pugna_.

ACTA, see _Ripa_.

ACTOR; COMŒDUS; LUDIO; HISTRIO. The generic term +actor+, and the
specific terms +comœdus+ and +tragœdus+, denote the player, as a
respectable artist; but +ludio+, +ludius+, the _comedian_, the player,
who makes acting his _trade_, with the accessory notion of commonness;
lastly, +histrio+, sometimes the actor, sometimes the _comedian_, but
mostly with the accessory notion of buffoonery and boasting. Cic. Sext.
54. Ipse ille maxime _ludius_, non solum spectator, sed _actor_ et
acroama. Rosc. Com. 10. Nemo ex pessimo _histrione_ bonum _comœdum_
fieri posse existimaret. Ep. ad Qu. Fr. i. a. E. Hortor ut tanquam poetæ
boni et _actores_ industrii solent, in extrema parte diligentissimus
sis. Suet. Aug. 74. (v. 334.)

ACUMEN, see _Acies_.

ADAMARE, see _Amare_.  [[redirects to _Diligere_]]

ADESSE; INTERESSE; PRÆSENTEM ESSE. 1. +Adesse+ means to be near a person
or thing; but +interesse+, to assist in a transaction, to _take a part_
in it. Cic. Verr. i. 40. Crimina ea, quæ notiora sunt his qui _adsunt_,
quam nobis . . . . De illo nihil dixit, in quo _interfuit_. 2. +Adesse+
denotes generally the presence in a circle to which we belong;
+præsentem esse+, absolute, audible and visible presence. When an
expected guest is within our walls, _adest_; he who is in the same room
with us, _præsens est_. (v. 337.)

ADHUC; HACTENUS; HUCUSQUE. +Adhuc+ refers to time, up to this moment;
+hactenus+ and +hucusque+ have a local reference, up to this place, or
this point.

ADIGERE, see _Cogere_.

ADIMERE, see _Demere_.

ADIPISCI, see _Invenire_.

ADJUVARE, see _Auxilium_.

ADMIRARI, see _Vereri_.

ADMODUM, see _Perquam_.

ADOLERE, see _Accendere_.

ADOLESCENS, see _Puer_.

ADORARE, see _Vereri_.

ADSCENDERE, see _Scandere_.

ADSOLERE, see _Solere_.

ADSPECTUS, ADSPICERE, see _Videre_.

ADULARI, see _Assentiri_.

ADUNCUS, see _Curvus_.

ADVENA, see _Externus_.

ADVENTOR, see _Hospes_.

ADVERSARIUS; HOSTIS; INIMICUS. 1. +Adversarius+ is the generic term for
every opposer, in the field, in politics, in a court of judicature, like
ἀντιστάτης. +Hostis+ (from ἔχθω) is ‘the enemy’ in the field, and war,
opp. to _pacatus_. Cic. Rep. ii. 3. Sen. Q. N. vi. 7. like πολέμιος;
+inimicus+, ‘an enemy’ in heart, opp. to _amicus_, like ἐχθρός. Cic.
Man. 10. Pompeius sæpius cum _hoste_ conflixit, quam quisquam cum
_inimico_ concertavit. Phil. xi. 1. Verr. i. 15. Curt. vii. 10. Liv.
xxii. 39. Nescio an infestior hic _adversarius_, quam ille _hostis_
maneat. 2. +Hostilis+ and +inimicus+ denote states of hatred become
habitual qualities; +infestus+ and +infensus+ only as temporary states;
+infestus+ (ἀνασπαστός?) applies to a quiescent state of aversion, like
disaffected, unkind, and thus it is applied to inanimate things that
threaten hostility; +infensus+ (from πένθος) denotes a passionate state
of mind, like enraged, and is therefore applicable to persons only. Tac.
Ann. xv. 28. Non _infensum_, nedum _hostili_ odio Corbulonis nomen
habebatur. Cic. Verr. iii. 24. Sall. Cat. 19. Sen. N. Q. iii. pr. Animus
luxuriæ non _adversus_ tantum, sed et _infestus_. Liv. ii. 20.
Tarquinium _infesto_ spiculo petit; Tarquinius _infenso_ cessit _hosti_.
(iv. 393.)

ADVOCATUS; CAUSIDICUS. +Advocatus+ means in the writers of the silver
age ‘a counsel’ in relation to his services and to his client, as his
friend and assistant; +causidicus+, in relation to his station and
profession, often with the contemptuous accessory notion of his being a
hireling. (vi. 8.)

ÆDES, see _Templum_.

ÆDIFICIUM; DOMUS; ÆDES; FAMILIA. 1. +Ædificium+ is the generic term for
buildings of all sorts, like οἰκοδόμημα; +domus+, and +ædes+, +ædium+,
mean ‘a dwelling-house;’ +domus+, as the residence and home of a family;
+ædes+ (αἴθω, αἴθουσα), as composed of several apartments, like δόμοι,
δώματα. Virg. G. ii. 461. Ingentem foribus _domus_ alta superbis mane
salutantum totis vomit _ædibus_ undam. (vi. 8.) 2. +Domus+ denotes
‘a family’ in the patriarchal sense, as a separate society, of which the
individuals are mutually connected; +familia+, in a political sense, as
part of a gens, civitas, or populus. (v. 301.)

ÆGER; ÆGROTUS; MORBIDUS; MORBUS; VALETUDO; INVALETUDO. 1. +Æger+ is the
generic term for every sort of illness and uneasiness, whether mental or
physical; +ægrotus+ and +morbidus+ indicate bodily illness: +ægrotus+ is
applied particularly to men; +morbidus+, to brutes: the _æger_ feels
himself ill; the _ægrotus_ and _morbidus_ actually are so. 2. +Morbus+
and +valetudo+ denote an actual illness; +morbus+, objectively, that
which attacks men; +valetudo+, subjectively, the state of the sick,
though this distinction was introduced by writers of the silver age;
+invaletudo+ means only an _indisposition_. (iv. 172.)

ÆGRE, see _Vix_.

ÆGRITUDO, see _Cura_.

ÆGROTUS, see _Æger_.

ÆMULATIO, see _Imitatio_.

ÆQUALIS, see _Æquus_.

ÆQUOR, see _Mare_.

ÆQUUS; PAR; ÆQUALIS; PARILIS; COMPAR; IMPAR; DISPAR. 1. +Æquum+ (from
εἴκελος) is that of which _its own_ component parts are alike, in opp.
to _varius_, Cic. Verr. v. 49; +par+ (from πείρω) is that which is like
to some other person or thing, and stands _in the same rank_ (on the
_same level_) with it or him, in opp. to _superior_ and _inferior_. Cic.
Brut. 59, 215. Orat. ii. 52, 209. 39, 166. In _æquo marte_ the battle
between two parties is considered as a whole; in _pari marte_ the
fortune of one party is set against that of the other, and declared to
be equal to it. 2. +Par+ denotes similarity with respect to greatness,
power, and value, or equality and proportion with regard to number, like
ἴσος; +æqualis+ refers to interior qualities, like ὅμοιος. The _par_ is
considered as in a state of activity, or, at least, as determined and
prepared to measure himself with his match in contest; the _æqualis_, in
a state of rest, and claiming merely comparison and equality as to rank.
The _paria_ are placed in opposition to each other, as _rivals_ in the
contest for pre-eminence; the _æqualia_ are considered in a _friendly_
relation to each other, in consequence of their common qualities and
sympathies. Hence +pariter+ means, in the same degree, ἴσα; +æqualiter+,
in the same manner, ὁμοίως, ὁμῶς. Vell. Pat. ii. 124. 3. +Par+ denotes
_quite_ like, +parilis+, _nearly_ like, as a middle step between _par_
and _similis_. 4. +Par+ expresses equal to _another_, and hence may
relate to only _one side_; +compar+, _mutually_ equal, like _finitimi_
and _confines_, ἐγγύς and σύνεγγυς. 5. +Impar+ denotes inequality as to
_quantity_, either arithmetical inequality with regard to number [=
odd], or a _relative inferiority_ as to strength; +dispar+ refers to
_quality_, without distinguishing on which side of the comparison the
advantage lies. (iv. 77.)

ÆQUUS; PLANUS; CAMPUS. 1. +Æquum+ (from εἴκελος) denotes that which is
flat, a horizontal flatness, in opposition to that which rises or sinks,
to _superior_, _inferior_, and _acclivis_. Cic. Fam. iii. 8. Orat.
iii. 6. Tac. Agr. 35. Hist. iv. 23; +planum+ (from πλάξ) denotes
‘evenness,’ in opp. to unevenness, to _montosus_, _saxosus_. Cic. Part.
10. Quintil. v. 10, 37. 21. Hence, figuratively, +æquum+ denotes
‘justice,’ as injustice may be considered as beginning when one part is
raised above another; in the same way +planum+ denotes clearness and
distinctness, where nothing rises to interrupt the view. 2. +Æquor+ and
+planities+ denote a flat surface with regard to its form; +campus+,
with regard to its position, as low-lands in opp. to high-lands.
(iv. 71.)

AER, see _Anima_.

ÆRARIUM; FISCUS. +Ærarium+ is ‘the public treasury;’ +fiscus+ (from

AGERE; FACERE; GERERE; OPUS; FACTUM; AGE; I NUNC; DEGERE. 1. +Agere+
(ἄγειν) has an effect that exists in time only, like to do; +facere+, an
effect that exists in space also, as to make. The _acta_ are past as
soon as the _agens_ ceases, and remain invisible in the memory; the
_facta_ cannot properly be said to exist till the _faciens_ ceases.
Quintil. ii. 18. The _agens_ is supposed to be in a state of activity of
some kind; the _faciens_ in a state of _productive_ activity. 2. +Agere+
means ‘to do’ something for one’s own interest; +gerere+ (ἀγείρειν), for
the interest of another, to execute a commission. Cic. Verr. i. 38. Quæ
etiamsi voluntate Dolabellæ _fiebant_, per istum tamen omnia
_gerebantur_. 3. +Opus+ is the result of facere, as the work, ἔργον;
+factum+ is the result of agere, as the transaction; +res gestæ+ are
deeds [_e.g._ in war], πράξεις; +acta+ are only political enactments.
Cic. Att. xiv. 17. Multa de _facto_ ac de _re gesta_; the former by the
exertions of Amatius, the latter by his own wise and spirited
animadversions through Dolabella. 4. +Age, agedum+, is an earnest
exhortation, as ‘On, on!’ +I nunc+ is an ironical exhortation, as ‘Go
to!’ 5. +Agere+ means to be active, and in the midst of business;
+degere+, to live somewhere in a state of rest, in voluntary or
involuntary inactivity. Tac. Ann. xv. 74. Deum honor principi non ante
habetur, quam _agere_ inter homines desierit, compared with iv. 54.
Certus procul urbe _degere_. (v. 327.)

AGERE FERRE, see _Vastare_.

AGGER; VALLUM. +Agger+ (from ἐσαγείρω) is a single line, like a dam;
+vallum+ or _mound_ (ἀλκή) is a line which helps to enclose a space.
+Agger+ may serve in a warfare as the outwork of a _redoubt_ [which is
protected by a _single line_ in front]; +vallum+ [_rampart_] always
belongs to a fortress, camp, or entrenched place.

AGMEN, see _Caterva_.

AGRESTIS, see _Rus_.

ALA; PENNA; PLUMA; PINNA. 1. +Ala+ (from ἔχω, _vehere_) denotes ‘the
wing,’ as a joint, like πτέρυξ; +penna+ (πέτεσθαι), with reference to
its feathers, like πτερόν. Plaut. Pœn. iv. 2. 48. Meæ _alæ pennas_ non
habent. 2. +Penna+ denotes the larger and harder feathers; +pluma+, the
smaller and softer feathers, which serve as a clothing to the body of
the bird, like πτίλον. Sen. Ep. 42. Meministi, cum quendam affirmares
esse in tua potestate, dixisse me volaticum esse ac levem, et te non
pedem ejus tenere, sed _pennam_. Mentitus sum; _pluma_ tenebatur, quam
remisit et fugit. Cic. N. D. ii. 47. 121. 3. +Penna+ denotes the whole,
consisting of quill and feathers; +pinna+, the feather only, in
opposition to the quill. (v. 204.)

ALACER, see _Gaudere_.

ALA, see _Armus_.

ALAPA; COLAPHUS. +Alapa+ (Goth. _lofa_, ‘the flat hand,’) denotes a blow
with the flat hand on the face, as a gentle punishment, like a slap on
the cheek, or box on the ear; +colaphus+ (κόλαφος), a blow on the head
with the clenched fist, betokening anger and rage, like a cuff, a thump.
(vi. 14.)

ALBUS; CANDIDUS; ALBIDUS. 1. +Albus+ (ἀλφός) denotes ‘white,’ as far as
it is in general a negation of all color, as that which is colorless;
+candidus+ (from ξανθός), as being itself a positive color, and, as
such, the purest and brightest, near which all other colors have a shade
of darkness and duskiness, as a fine brilliant white. +Albus+, opposed
to _ater_, approaches, like λευκόν, to yellowish; +candidus+, opposed to
_niger_, approaches, like ἀργόν, to bluish. +Alba cutis+ is the skin of
the sick and dropsical; +candida+, that of the fair girl. Figuratively,
+albor+ is the symbol of good fortune and joy; +candor+, of purity of
mind and innocence. 2. +Albus+ denotes ‘white;’ +albidus+, only
‘whitish.’ (iii. 193.)

ALERE; NUTRIRE; NUTRICARE. +Alere+ (from ἄλθω) denotes nourishment, as
conducive to development and growth; +nutrire+ and +nutricare+, only as
it prolongs and secures existence. Or, +alimenta+ adjuvant, +nutrimenta+
sustentant. Cic. N. D. ii. 63. Neque _ali_ neque sustentari. +Nutrire+
involves a general notion; +nutricare+ is usually applied more
particularly to brutes. (ii. 99.)

ALGERE, ALGIDUS, see _Frigere_.

ALIENIGENA, see _Externus_.

ALIMENTA; PENUS; CIBUS; ESCA; EDULIA; CIBARE; PASCERE. 1. +Alimenta+ and
+penus+ are victuals in general, meat and drink; +alimenta+, mostly with
reference to the wants of an individual; +penus+, to the wants of a
whole family. +Cibus+ and +esca+ denote ‘food,’ in opposition to drink.
Cic. Fin. i. 11, and ii. 28. +Cibus+ (from γεύω, to chew), natural food,
as a means of nourishment; +esca+ (from ἔδω), ‘the food’ that is
artificially prepared as a dish. Hence +cibus+ denotes the food of
brutes also; but +esca+, only a bait, prepared as it were like a dish,
and set before them. Cic. N. D. ii. 47. Animalia _cibum_ partim dentibus
capessunt: compare this with ii. 23. Dii nec _escis_ nec potionibus
vescuntur. 2. +Cibaria+ are the most general and usual sorts of food;
+edulia+ are savory and select sorts of food. Suet. Tib. 46. Comites
nunquam salario, _cibariis_ tantum sustentavit; compare with Cal. 40.
Pro _eduliis_ certum statumque exigebatur. 3. +Cibare+ means to feed

the first word, a salutation, and so forth, to a person with whom one is
not unacquainted; +appellare+ (from an old Gothic substantive, spellan),
when one wishes to draw a person into conversation, and direct to him
serious, or, at any rate, not insignificant words; +affari+ denotes
_addressing_ from the impulse of a _feeling_; through peculiar
friendliness or with solemnity. Cic. Cluent. 61. Quum nemo recipere
tecto, nemo audire, nemo _alloqui_, nemo respicere vellet: compare with
Phil. xiii. 2. Salutabunt benigne, comiter _appellabunt_ unumquemque
nostrum; and Brut. 3. Salutatio libri, quo me hic _affatus_ quasi
jacentem excitavit. (v. 107.)

ALSUS, see _Frigere_.

ALTERCATIO, see _Disceptatio_.

ALTUS; EDITUS; PROCERUS; ARDUUS; CELSUS; EXCELSUS; SUBLIMIS. 1. +Altus+
denotes, as a general expression, height or depth, as mathematical
dimensions, in opp. to length and breadth, and, consequently, height, in
opp. to _humilis_; Cic. Tusc. v. 13. 24. Orat 57. N. D. ii. 47, like
ὑψηλός; +editus+ denotes height, in opp. to _planus_, Tac. Ann. xv. 38:
lastly, +procerus+ denotes height or length in reference to growth. The
_altum_ has no measure and no limits; the _editum_ has the bulk of a
hill; the _procerum_ has the bulk of a tree, the full stature of the
human figure, and so forth. 2. +Altus+, +editus+, and +procerus+, denote
height merely in relation to space; +arduus+ means height, which is at
the same time steep and inaccessible; thence, figuratively, ‘difficult,
impossible;’ +celsus+, height, that thrusts itself out, and stretches

overtops something that is itself high, hence ‘pre-eminent;’ +sublimis+,
what is on high without touching the ground, soaring in the air, like
μετέωρος; thence, figuratively, ‘grand,’ of an elevated nature.
(ii. 99.)

AMANS, AMATOR, see _Amicus_.

AMARE, see _Diligere_.

AMARUS, see _Acerbus_.

AMBIGUUS, see _Dubius_.

AMBIRE; CIRCUMIRE. +Circumire+ denotes motion in any circular form, but
on the boundaries of a space, so as to go round it; +ambire+ denotes
going hither and thither in zigzag, or going about. Plin. Ep. ii. 9.
_Ambio_ domos, stationesque _circumeo_: and Cic. Att. xiv. 21. Antonium
_circumire_ veteranos, ut acta Cæsaris sancirent; that is, He made in
his canvassing the round, from first to last;--stronger than _ambire_,
which would only express his canvassing, and addressing the veterans in
general.

AMBO, see _Uterque_.

AMBULARE; SPATIARI; DEAMBULARE; INAMBULARE; OBAMBULARE. 1. +Ambulare+
(from _ambire_) denotes taking a walk as a leisurely motion, like going
up and down, in opp. both to _stare_ and _cubare_, and also to _currere_
and _salire_; Plaut. Bacch. iv. 8. 56. Plin. Ep. ix. 36. Cic. Fat. 5.
Fin. v. 17. Sen. Ep. 113. Gell. ii. 9. Sen. Ir. ii. 35. Plin. H. N.
x. 38: +spatiari+ denotes motion in open space, as to walk out, in opp.
to the confinement which a room imposes. 2. +Deambulare+ denotes going
up and down till one is tired; +inambulare+, within a bounded space;
+obambulare+, with reference to a fixed object, _along which_ one walks,
or to a person walking with us. (iii. 48.)

AMENS; DEMENS; INSANUS; VESANUS; EXCORS; VECORS; FUROR; DELIRIUM;
RABIES; CERRITUS; LYMPHATUS. 1. +Amentia+ shows itself negatively and
passively; +dementia+, positively and energetically. The _amens_ is
without reason, and either acts not at all, or acts without reason, like
the idiot, ἄφρων; the _demens_, while he fancies that he is doing right,
acts in direct opposition to reason, like the madman, παράφρων. Hence,
_amens_ metu, terrore; _demens_ scelere, discordia, etc. 2. +Insanus+
has a _privative_; +vesanus+, a _depravative_ meaning. The _insanus_ in
his passion oversteps the measure and bounds of right, and gives one the
impression of a guilty person; the _vesanus_, in his delusion, wanders
from the right path, follows a false object, and gives one the
impression of an unfortunate person. 3. +Excors+ means of weak
understanding in general, without the ability of reflecting and
examining, in opp. to _cordatus_; +vecors+ means, of a perverted
understanding, without the ability of reflecting calmly, from the mind
being taken up with one fixed idea. 4. +Furor+ (fervere) denotes mental
irritation, ecstasy, as raging, μανικός; +delirium+ (ληρεῖν), a physical
and childish remission of the mental faculties; +rabies+ (ῥαβάσσειν,
ἄραβος), a half-moral condition of a passionate insanity, as frantic,
λύσσα. The _furibundus_ forgets the bounds of sense, the _delirus_
babbles nonsense, the _rabidus_ will bite and injure when he can.
5. +Cerritus+ and +lymphatus+ betoken frenzy, as a demoniacal state, as
possessed, +cerritus+ or +ceritus+, by Ceres, +lymphatus+, by the
nymphs; they may also be considered as derived from κόρυζα, mucus
narium, and from λέμφος, mucus, as symbols of stupidity. (v. 89.)

AMICTUS, AMICULUM, see _Vestis_.

AMICUS; AMANS; AMATOR. +Amicus+ involves the notion of reciprocity, but
means only a sincere and calm affection, like φίλος; +amans+ and
+amator+ denote a more glowing affection, but do not imply reciprocity;
+amans+ denotes this affection as a temporary state; +amator+ as an
habitual feeling, like ἐραστής. Cic. Verr. v. 63. Alba tunc
antiquissimus non solum _amicus_, verum etiam _amator_. Tusc. iv. 12.
Inter ebriositatem et ebrietatem interest, aliudque est _amatorem_ esse,
aliud _amantem_. (iv. 102.)

AMICUS, see _Socius_.

AMITTERE; PERDERE; JACTURA. 1. +Amittere+ means to lose something, so
that it ceases to be in our possession, like ἀποβαλεῖν, opp. to
_retinere_, Cic. Rep. v. i. Sext. 47. Suet. Tib. 15. Ter. Phorm. iii. 2,
22; +perdere+ means, to lose something, so that it is destroyed, and
rendered useless, like διολέσαι, opp. to _servare_. Plaut. Rud. iv. 4,
120. Ter. Ad. ii. 2, 32. Sen. Contr. iii. 21.--Tac. Ann. ii. 25.
_Perdita_ classe, _amissis_ armis. 2. +Amissio+ is an involuntary,
+jactura+, a voluntary, loss, which a person undergoes, a sacrifice that
is made to avoid a greater loss, as in the case of the master of a ship,
who throws the freight overboard, to save his ship and his life. Plin.
Ep. i. 12. _Jacturam_ gravissimam feci, si _jactura_ dicenda est tanti
viri _amissio_. (iii. 289.)

AMITTERE, see _Mittere_.

AMNIS, see _Fluvius_.

AMOR, see _Diligere_.

AMPLECTI; COMPLECTI. +Amplecti+ denotes embracing, often with one arm
only, as a sign of calm affection and protection; +complecti+, clasping
and surrounding with both arms, as a sign of passionate love, or
familiar confidence. +Amplecti+ means, figuratively, to lay hold of
something, in opp. to slighting and disdaining; +complecti+, to take
fully in one’s grasp, in opp. to a half and superficial possession.
(v. 281.)

AMPLUS, see _Magnus_.

ANCILLA, see _Servus_.

ANCEPS, see _Dubius_.

ANGUIS, see _Repere_.

ANGOR, see _Cura_.

ANGUSTUS; ARCTUS; DENSUS; SPISSUS. 1. +Angustus+ and +arctus+ relate to
space itself, and to the proximity of its enclosing limits; +densus+ and
+spissus+, to things existing in space, and to their proximity to one
another. The _angustum_ (ἐγγυστός) is bounded only by lines, and forms
mostly an oblong, _narrow_, opp. to _latus_, Cic. Att. iv. 29, like
στενός; the _arctum_ (from _arcere_, εἴργω) is fenced in by lists,
walls, or mounds, and forms mostly a square or circle, and so forth,
_close_, in opp. to _laxus_, Cic. Orat. 25, like στενωπός. The clavus
angustus can therefore never be arctus. Mel. iii. 2, 8. Rhenus ad
dextram primo _angustus_, et sui similis, post ingens lacus Flevo
dicitur . . . fitque iterum _arctior_, iterumque fluvius emittitur, in
which passage the banks of the Rhine are considered only as lines, or as
walls, 3. +Densus+ (from ἀδινός? or θαμά?) denotes objects only as
pressed near _to_ one another, and without any observable gaps, in opp.
to _rarus_, like δασύς and θαμειός: +spissus+, as pressed close _into_
one another, and without any intervals between, in opp. to _solutus_,
loose, like πυκνός and συχνός. In +densus+ the principal notion is, the
rich abundance of objects, which have no need to keep far apart, if they
are to fill a wide space; in +spissus+, the want of empty space, from
all the spaces between objects being filled up, owing to their being
crowded together. (iv. 431.)

ANIMA; AER; AURA; SPIRITUS; SUBLIME. +Anima+ and +aër+ denote ‘air’ as
an element, like ἀήρ, and +anima+ (ἄνεμος), in opp. to _terra_, _mare_,
_ignis_; but +aër+, a learned term (ἀήρ, from ἀείρω?) in opp. to
_æther_; +aura+ and +spiritus+ denote ‘air’ when put in motion; +aura+
(αὔρα, from ἀέσαι, or from ἀεῖραι), the gently waving and _fanning_ air;
+spiritus+, the _streaming_ and breath-like air, like πνεῦμα; lastly,
+sublime+ (from sublevare?), the air that hovers over us, simply in a
local relation, in opp. to _humus_, like μετάρσιον, μετέωρον. (v. 92.)

ANIMA; ANIMUS; MENS. 1. +Anima+ denotes ‘the soul,’ physiologically, as
the principle of animal life, in men and brutes, that ceases with the
breath, like ψυχή: +animus+ (ἄνεμος), psychologically and ethically, as
the principle of moral personality, that ceases with the will, like
θυμός. The souls of the departed also are called, in a mythological
point of view, +animæ+, as shades; but, in a metaphysical point of view,
+animi+, as spirits. +Anima+ is a part of bodily existence; +animus+, in
direct opposition to the body. Sen. Ep. 4. Difficile est _animum_
perducere ad contemtionem _animæ_: and 58. Juven. xv. 148. Principio
indulsit communis conditor illis tantum _animas_, nobis _animum_ quoque.
2. +Animus+ denotes also the human soul, as including all its faculties,
and is distinguished from +mens+ (μένος, μανθάνω, the thinking faculty,
as a whole from one of its parts. Cic. Rep. ii. 40. Ea quæ latet in
_animis_ hominum, quæque pars _animi mens_ vocatur. Lucr. iii. 615.
iv. 758. Catull. 65, 3. Plaut. Cist. iii. 1, 6. As in practical life the
energy of the soul is displayed in the faculty of volition, so +animus+
itself stands for a part of the soul, namely, feeling and energy of will
in co-ordinate relation to +mens+, the intellect or understanding. Tac.
II. i. 84. Quem nobis _animum_, quas _mentes_ imprecentur. Ter. Andr.
i. 1. 137. Mala _mens_, malus _animus_. And, lastly, so far as thought
precedes the will, and the will itself, or determination, stands as
mediator between thought and action, in the same way as the body is the
servant of the will, so +mens+ is related to +animus+, as a whole to its
part. Cic. Tusc. iii. 5. _Mens_, cui regnum totius _animi_ a natura
tributum est. Liv. xxxvii. 45. (v. 94.)

ANIMADVERTERE; NOTARE. +Animadvertere+ means, to observe mentally, and
take notice of; but +notare+, to make distinguishable by a mark.
(vi. 20.)

ANIMAL; ANIMANS; BELLUA; BESTIA; PECUS; FERA. 1. +Animal+ and +animans+
are the animal as a living being, including man; +animal+, with
reference to his nature, according to which he belongs to the class of
living animals, in opp. to _inanimus_, like ζῶον; +animans+, with
reference to his state, as still living and breathing,[1] in opp. to
_exanimus_; +bellua+, +bestia+, and +pecus+, as irrational beings, in
opp. to man, and +bellua+ and +pecus+, with intellectual reference, as
devoid of reason, in peculiar opp. to _homo_, Cic. N. D. ii. 11;
+bestia+ and +fera+, with moral reference, as wild, and hostile to man.
2. +Bellua+ (from βλάξ) denotes, particularly, a great unwieldy animal,
as the elephant, whale, principally sea-monsters; +pecus+, a domestic
animal, particularly of the more stupid kinds, as a bullock, sheep, in
opp. to the wild; +bestia+, a destructive animal, particularly those
that are ravenous, as the tiger, wolf, etc., in opp. to birds, Justin,
ii. 14, like θηρίον; +fera+ (φῆρες), a wild animal of the wood, as the
stag, wolf, tiger, in opp. to domestic animals. Curt. ix. 10. Indi
maritimi _ferarum_ pellibus tecti piscibus sole duratis, et majorum
quoque _belluarum_, quos fluctus ejecit, carne vescuntur. And Tac. G.
17. (iv. 291.)

    [Footnote 1: Hence _animalium cadavera_, not _animantium_.]

ANNALES; HISTORIÆ. +Annales+ means a comprehensive historical work,
principally and especially a history of former ages, composed from
documents, like Livy and Tacitus; +historiæ+, particularly a work on the
history of the times in which the author himself has lived, as Sallust
and Tacitus.

ANTIQUUS; PRISCUS; VETUS; VETUSTUS; VETERNUS; PRISTINUS. 1. +Antiquum+
and +priscum+ denote the age that formerly existed, and is now no more,
in opp. to _novum_, like παλαιός; +vetus+ and +vetustum+ (from ἔτος),
what has existed for a long time, and has no longer any share in the
disadvantages or advantages of youth, in opp. to _recens_, like γέρων,
γεραιός, γερούσιος. Hence +antiquus homo+ is a man who existed in
ancient times; +vetus+, an old man. +Antiqui scriptores+ means the
classics, inasmuch as the age in which they flourished has long been
past; +veteres+, inasmuch as they have lived and influenced manhood for
2000 years. Cic. Verr. i. 21. Vereor ne hæc nimis _antiqua_ et jam
obsoleta videantur: compare with Orat. i. 37. Ut illi _vetus_ atque
usitata exceptio daretur. 2. +Vetus+ refers only to length of time, and
denotes age, sometimes as a subject of praise, sometimes as a reproach;
+vetustus+ refers to the superiority of age, inasmuch as that which is
of long standing is at the same time stronger, more worthy of honor,
more approved of, than that which is new, in opp. to _novicius_; lastly,
+veternus+ refers to the disadvantages of age, inasmuch as, after many
years’ use, a thing becomes worn out, or, through long existence, weak
and spiritless. Moreover, +veternus+, in the writers of the golden age,
is only admitted as a substantive, +veternum+, as lethargy; +vetus+
regularly supplies its place, and denotes more frequently the weakness
than the strength of age. Tac. Ann. xi. 14 and 15. _Veterrimis_
Græcorum, and _vetustissima_ Italiæ disciplina. 3. +Antiquus+ denotes
age only in relation to time, as a former age in opp. to the present;
+priscus+ (from πάρος), as a solemn word, with the qualifying accessory
notion of a former age worthy of honor, and a sacred primitive age, like
ἀρχαῖος, in opp. to the fashion of the day. 4. +Antiquus+ and +priscus+
denote a time long past; +pristinus+, generally, denotes only a time
that is past, like πρότερος. (iv. 83.)

ANTRUM, see _Specus_.

ANUS; VETULA. +Anus+ (as the fem. to _senex_) denotes an old lady, with
respect, and also as a term of reproach; an old woman, with reference to
her weakness, credulity, loquacity, and so forth: +vetula+, an old
woman, with reference to her ugliness and disagreeableness. (iv. 92.)

APERIRE; PATEFACERE; APERTE; PALAM; MANIFESTO; PROPALAM. 1. +Aperire+
(from πεπαρεῖν) means ‘to open’ a space that is covered at top, and
therefore in a horizontal direction, as, for instance, pits and springs,
and thereby to make them visible; +patefacere+, ‘to open’ a space whose
sides are closed; hence, to open in a perpendicular direction, as, for
instance, gates, roads, and fields, and thereby to make them accessible.
2. +Returare+ (from στέφω, German stopfen) means, to make accessible an
opening that has been stopped up; +recludere+, an opening that has been
shut up; +reserare+, an opening that has been barred up. 3. +Aperte+
means ‘openly,’ and without concealment, so that everybody can perceive
and know, in opp. to _occulte_, like φανερῶς; +palam+ (from planus),
‘openly,’ and without hiding anything, so that everybody can see and
hear, in opp. to _clam_, like ἀναφανδόν; +manifesto+, palpably, so that
one is spared all inquiry, all conjecture, all exertion of the senses
and of the mind, like δῆλον. 4. +Palam+ denotes that openness which does
not shun observation; +propalam+, that which courts observation. Cic.
Orat. i. 35. Neque proposito argento neque tabulis et signis _propalam_
collocatis; that is, to everybody’s admiration: compare with Pis. 36.
Mensis _palam_ propositis; that is, without fear and constraint.
(v. 291.)

APPARET; EMINET. +Apparet+ means what is visible to him who observes;
+eminet+, what forces itself upon observation, and attracts the eye.
Sen. Ir. i. 1. _Apparent_ alii affectus, hic (scil. iræ) _eminet_.
(vi. 23.)

APPARET, see _Constat_.

APPELLARE, see _Alloqui_ and _Nominare_.

APTUS, see _Idoneus_.

AQUA; UNDA; FLUCTUS; FLUENTUM. 1. +Aqua+ (from ὠκεανός) denotes water
materially as an element, in opp. to _terra_; +unda+ (from νέδη, wet),
as a flowing, continually moving element, in opp., as it were, to
_solum_; +lympha+ (λέμφος) is merely a poetical synonyme of _aqua_, with
the accessory notion of clearness and brightness, to which the similar
sound of the adjective _limpidus_, though not derived from it, gave
occasion. 2. +Unda+ stands in the middle, between _aqua_ and _fluctus_,
as _aura_ does between _aër_ and _ventus_. For +unda+ denotes, like
wave, that which apparently moves _itself_, whereas +fluctus+ and
+fluenta+, like billows, the water moved by something external, as
storms and so forth; +fluctus+, the billows more in connection with the
whole, the billowy sea, whereas +fluentum+ denotes a single billow. It
is only the stormy sea, the boisterous stream, that urges on its
billows, but every piece of water, that is not entirely stagnant, has
its waves. Hence there is a great distinction between these two images
in Cicero, Mil. 2, 5. Tempestates et procellas in illis duntaxat
_fluctibus_ concionum semper putavi Miloni esse subeundas; that is, in
the tumultuously agitated assemblies: and Planc. 6, 15. Si campus atque
illæ _undæ_ comitiorum, ut mare profundum et immensum, sic effervescunt
quodam quasi æstu; that is, the lightly moving assemblies. Sen. N. Q.
iii. 10. Quid si ullam _undam_ superesse mireris, quæ superveniat tot
_fluctibus_ fractis. And iv. 2. Nec mergit cadens _unda_, sed planis
_aquis_ tradit. (ii. 10.)

AQUOSUS, see _Udus_.

ARBITRARI, see _Censere_.

ARCANA; SECRETA; MYSTERIA. +Arcana+ denotes secrets, in a good sense,
such as are so of themselves, and from their own nature, and should be
spoken of with awe; thus +arcana+, as a popular term, denotes secrets of
all sorts; on the other hand, +mysteria+, as a learned term, denotes
religious secrets, like the Eleusinian mysteries; lastly, +secreta+
denotes secrets, in the most ordinary sense, such as are made so by men,
and which seek concealment from some particular fear. Tac. Ann. i. 6.
Sallustius Crispus particeps _secretorum_ . . . monuit Liviam, ne
_arcana_ domus vulgarentur. (iv. 429.)

ARCERE; PROHIBERE. +Arcere+ (ἀρκεῖν, from ἐρύκειν) means to keep off and
bar the entry, in opp. to _admittere_, Plin. H. N. xii. 1; on the other
hand, +prohibere+ means to keep at a distance, and prevent the approach,
in opp. to _adhibere_. The _arcens_ makes defensive opposition, like the
_resistens_, and protects the threatened; but the _prohibens_ acts on
the offensive, like the _propulsans_, and retaliates hostility on the
assailant. (iv. 430.)

ARCESSERE; ACCIRE; EVOCARE; ACCERSERE. 1. +Arcessere+ and +accersere+
denote, in the most general sense, merely, to send for; +accire+
supposes a co-ordinate relation in those that are sent for, as, to
invite; +evocare+, a subordinate relation, as, to summon. The
_arcessens_ asks, the _acciens_ entreats, the _evocans_ commands,
a person to make his appearance. Cic. Att. v. 1. Tu invita mulieres, ego
_accivero_ pueros: compare with Dejot. 5. Venit vel rogatus ut amicus,
vel _arcessitus_ ut socius, vel _evocatus_ ut qui senatui parere
didicisset. Or, Liv. x. 19. Collegæ auxilium, quod _acciendum_ ultro
fuerit, with xliv. 31. _Evocati_ literis imperatoris. And xxix. 11.
Æbutia _accita_ ad Sulpiciam venit; and 12. Ut Hispalam libertinam
_arcesseret_ ad sese. 2. +Arcessere+ (from cedere) means, originally, to
order to approach; on the other hand, +accersere+ (from σκαίρω), to come
quickly, or, to make haste; but both words have been confounded with
each other, from similarity of sound. (iii. 283.)

ARCTUS, see _Angustus_.

ARDERE; FLAGRARE. +Ardere+ (from ἐρεύθειν) means to be in a visible
glowing heat, like αἴθειν; on the other hand, +flagrare+, to be in
bright flames, like φλέγεσθαι. Hence, metaphorically, +ardere+ is
applied to a secret passion; +flagrare+, to a passion that bursts forth.
Cic. Or. iii. 2, 8. Non vidit Crassus _flagrantem_ bello Italiam, non
_ardentem_ invidia senatum. (iv. 21.)

ARDUUS; DIFFICILIS. +Arduus+ (from ὀρθός) means difficult to ascend, in
opp. to _pronus_; on the other hand, +difficilis+ means difficult to
execute, in opp. to _facilis_. +Arduus+ involves a stronger notion of
difficulty, and denotes the difficult when it borders on the impossible.
Plin. Ep. iv. 17. Est enim res _difficilis ardua_. Tac. Hist. ii. 76.
Æstimare debent, an quod inchoatur, reipublicæ utile, ipsis gloriosum,
aut promptum effectu, aut certe non _arduum_ sit. Cic. Verr. i. 51. Cum
sibi omnes ad illum allegationes _difficiles_, omnes aditos _arduos_, ac
pæne interclusos, viderent. (ii. 105.)

ARDUUS, see _Altus_.

ARENA, see _Sabulo_.

ARGUERE; INCUSARE; CULPARE; CRIMINARI; INSIMULARE; DEFERRE; ACCUSARE.
+Arguere+ (from ἀργός) is the most general expression for any imputation
of supposed or actual guilt, whether in a court of justice or not, as to
tax or charge with; +incusare+, and the less frequent term +culpare+,
denote only a complaint made out of a court of justice; +criminari+, an
accusation with hostile or evil intention, in a calumnious spirit;
+insimulare+, in an undeserved or slanderous manner, through suspicion;
+deferre+, to impeach before a judge; +accusare+, to impeach in a
criminal court. Cic. Lig. 4, 10. _Arguis_ fatentem. Non est satis.
_Accusas_ eum. (ii. 163.)

ARIDUS; TORRIDUS; SICCUS. +Aridus+ and +torridus+ denote an internal
want of moisture; but things that are _arida_ (from areo) have lost
their moisture from a heat acting within, like αὖος, in opp. to
_humidus_. Plin. Pan. 30, 4; on the other hand, _torrida_ (from τέρσω),
from a heat penetrating from without, in opp. to _uvidus_, like
σκληρός;--+siccus+ denotes dryness that is only external, confined to
the surface, in opp. to _madidus_, like ξηρός. Plin. H. N. xii. 12. Ne
sint fragilia et _arida_ potius quam _sicca_ folia. And xv. 29. Cato
docuit vinum fieri ex nigra myrta _siccata_ usque in _ariditatem_ in
umbra. Colum. vii. 4. (vi. 244.)

ARISTA, see _Culmus_.

ARMENTUM, see _Pecus_.

ARMUS; HUMERUS; ALA; AXILLA. +Armus+ (ramus?) is the highest part of the
upper arm in men; the fore-leg in beasts; the shoulder-blade, as part of
the whole body, distinguished from _scapula_, as part of the skeleton,
like ὦμος; +humerus+, the flat surface, which in the human body is over
the upper arm, the shoulder, like ἐπωμίς; +ala+ and +axilla+, the cavity
which is under the upper arm, the arm-pit, like μασχάλη. Ovid, Met.
xii. 396. Ex _humeris_ medios coma dependebat in _armos_. And x. 599.
xiv. 304. Plin. H. N. xi. 43. (iv. 27.)

+securis+, the butcher’s cleaver, to cut meat.

ASPER, see _Horridus_.

ASPERNARI, see _Spernere_.

ASSENTIRI; ASSENTARI; BLANDIRI; ADULARI. 1. +Assentiri+ means to assent
from conviction, in opp. to _dissentire_; but +assentari+, to express
assent, whether from conviction or from hypocrisy, in opp. to
_adversari_. Vell. P. ii. 48. Cic. Rosc. Am. 16, 99. Plaut. Most. i. 3,
100. Amph. ii. 2, 70. 2. +Assentari+ denotes the flattery which shuns
contradicting a person, like θωπεύειν; +blandiri+ (μέλδειν), that which
says what is agreeable to another, like ἀρεσκεύειν; +adulari+ (from
δοῦλος), that which would please at the expense of self-degradation,
like κολακεύειν. The _assentans_, as a flatterer, would, by surrendering
his right to an independent opinion; the _blandiens_, by complaisance
and visible signs of affection; the _adulans_, by self-degradation, and
signs of an unworthy subserviency, gain the favor of another.
+Assentatio+, or the art of the assenter, has its origin in cowardice or
weakness; +blanditiæ+, or fair-speaking, in the endeavor to be amiable,
and, at worst, in self-interest; +adulatio+, or flattery, and servility,
κολακεία, in a degrading, slavish, spaniel-like spirit. Sen. Ir. iii. 8.
Magis adhuc proderunt submissi et humani et dulces, non tamen usque in
_adulationem_; nam iracundos nimia _assentatio_ offendit. Erit certe
amicus . . . . cui non magis tutum erat _blandiri_ quam maledicere. And
ii. 28. Sæpe _adulatio_, dum _blanditur_, offendit. (ii. 174.)

ASSEVERARE, see _Dicere_.

ASSES, see _Axes_.

ASSIDUITAS, see _Opera_.

ASTRUM, see _Sidus_.

ASTUTUS; CALLIDUS; VAFER; VERSUTUS. +Astutus+ or in old Latin +astus+
(from ἀκή, acuere), and +callidus+, denote cunning, more in an
intellectual sense, as a mark of cleverness; +astutus+, indeed,
acuteness in the invention and execution of a secret project, synonymous
with _solers_; but +callidus+ (from κάλλος), sharp-sightedness in
judging of a complicated question of conduct, or worldly wisdom, as the
consequence of a knowledge of mankind, and of intercourse with the
world, synonymous with _rerum peritus_, as judicious, and, in its
degenerate signification, crafty, like κερδαλέος; on the other hand,
+vafer+ and +versutus+ denote cunning in a moral sense, as a mark of
dishonesty, and, indeed, +vafer+ (ὑφή), adroitness in introducing
tricks, particularly in judicial affairs, as the tricks of a lawyer,
like πανοῦργος; +versutus+ (ἀρτυτός), versatility in dissimulation, and
in the art of getting out of a scrape by some means or other; in opp. to
_simplex_, Cic. Fin. iv. 25, like στροφαῖος. Plin. Ep. vii. 6. Juvenis
ingeniosus, sed parum _callidus_. Cic. Brut. 48. _Callidus_, et in
capiendo adversario _versutus_. (iii. 220.)

ATER; NIGER; PULLUS. 1. +Ater+ (αἰθός) denotes black, as a negation of
color, in opp. to _albus_; whereas +niger+ (πνιγόεις) denotes black, as
being itself a color, and indeed the darkest, in opp. to _candidus_. The
_atrum_ makes only a dismal and dark impression; but the _nigrum_, a
positive, and imposing and beautiful impression, as Hor. Carm. i. 32,
11. Lycum _nigris_ oculis, _nigroque_ crine decorum. Tac. G. 43. _Nigra_
scuta, tincta corpora; _atras_ ad prœlia noctes legunt. (iii. 194.)
2. +Ater+ and +niger+ denote a deep dark black; whereas +pullus+ only
swarthy, with reference to the affinity of the dark color to dirt.
(iii. 207.)

ATQUE, see _Et_.

ATROX; TRUX; TRUCULENTUS; DIRUS; SÆVUS; TORVUS. 1. +Atrox+, +trux+, and
+truculentus+, (from τρηχύς, ταράξαι), denote that which has an exterior
exciting fear; that which makes an impression of terror on the fancy,
and eye, and ear; +atrox+, indeed, as a property of things, but +trux+
and +truculentus+ as properties of persons; whereas +dirus+ and +sævus+
mean that which is really an object of fear, and threatens danger;
+dirus+, indeed (from δέος), according to its own nature, as a property
of things, means dreadful, δεινός; but +sævus+ (from αἶ, heu!) according
to the character of the person, as a property of living beings, means
blood-thirsty, cruel, αἰνός. Plin. Pan. 53. _Atrocissima_ effigies
_sævissimi_ domini. Mela ii. 7. Ionium pelagus . . . _atrox_, _sævum_;
that is, looking dangerous, and often enough also bringing misfortune.
2. +Trux+ denotes dreadfulness of look, of the voice, and so forth, in
the tragic or heroic sense, as a mark of a wild disposition or of a
cruel purpose; but +truculentus+, in the ordinary and comic sense, as a
mark of ill-humor or trivial passion; the slave in Plautus is
_truculentus_; the wrathful Achilles is _trux_. Sometimes, however,
_truculentior_ and _truculentissimus_ serve as the comparative and
superlative of _trux_. 3. +Trux+ and +truculentus vultus+ is a terrific,
angry look, like τραχύς; +torvus+, merely a stern, sharp, and wild look,
as τορόν, or ταυρηδὸν βλέπειν. Plin. H. N. xi. 54. Contuitu quoque
multiformes; _truces_, _torvi_, flagrantes. Quintil. vi. 1. 43. (i. 40.)

ATTONITUS; STUPENS. +Attonitus+, thunderstruck, denotes a momentary,
+stupens+ (ταφεῖν) a petrified, a lasting condition. Curt. viii. 2, 3.
_Attoniti_, et _stupentibus_ similes. Flor. ii. 12. (vi. 31.)

AUDERE; CONARI; MOLIRI. +Audere+ denotes an enterprise with reference to
its danger, and the courage of him who undertakes it, whereas +conari+
(from incohare), with reference to the importance of the enterprise, and
the energy of him who undertakes it; lastly, +moliri+, with reference to
the difficulty of the enterprise, and the exertion required of him who
undertakes it. (iii. 295.)

AUDENTIA, AUDACIA, see _Fides_.

AUDIRE; AUSCULTARE. +Audire+ (from _ausis_, _auris_, οὖας) means to
hear, ἀκούειν, as a mere passive sensation, like _olfacere_; on the
other hand, +auscultare+ (from auricula), to hearken, ἀκροᾶσθαι, that
is, to wish to hear, and to hear attentively, whether secretly or
openly, by an act of the will, like _odorari_. Ter. And. iv. 5, 45.
Æsch. Pater, obsecro, _ausculta_. Mic. Æschine, _audivi_ omnia. Cato ap.
Gell. i. 15. Pacuv. ap. Cic. Div. i. 57. (iii. 293.)

AUFERRE, see _Demere_.

AUGURIA; AUSPICIA; PRODIGIA; OSTENTA; PORTENTA; MONSTRA; OMINA.
+Auguria+ and +auspicia+ are appearances in the ordinary course of
nature, which for the most part possess a meaning for those only who are
skilful in the interpretation of signs; +auguria+ (from augur, αὐγάζειν)
for the members of the college of augurs, who are skilled in such
things; +auspicia+, for the magistrates, who have the right to take
auspices: whereas +prodigia+, +ostenta+, +portenta+, +monstra+, are
appearances out of the ordinary course of nature, which strike the
common people, and only receive a more exact interpretation from the
soothsayer: lastly, +omina+ (ὄθματα, ὄσσαι) are signs which any person,
to whom they occur, can interpret for himself, without assistance. The
primary notion in +prodigium+ is, that the appearance is replete with
meaning, and pregnant with consequences; in +ostentum+, that it excites
wonder, and is great in its nature: in +portentum+, that it excites
terror, and threatens danger; in +monstrum+, that it is unnatural and
ugly. (v. 178.)

AURA, see _Anima_.

AUSCULTARE, see _Audire_.

AUSPICIA, see _Auguria_.

AUSTERUS; SEVERUS; DIFFICILIS; MOROSUS; TETRICUS. 1. +Austerus+
(αὐστηρός, from αὔω) denotes gravity as an intellectual, +severus+
(αὐηρός) as a moral quality. The _austerus_ in opp. to _jucundus_, Plin.
H. N. xxxiv. 8. xxxv. 11, is an enemy to jocularity and frivolity, and
seeks in science, learning, and social intercourse, always that which is
serious and real, at the risk of passing for dull; the _severus_, in
opp. to _luxuriosus_, Quintil. xi. 3, 74, is rigid, hates all
dissoluteness and laxity of principle, and exacts from himself and
others self-control and energy of character, at the risk of passing for
harsh. The stoic, as a philosopher, is _austerus_, as a man, _severus_.
2. +Austerus+ and +severus+ involve no blame; whereas +difficilis+,
+morosus+, and +tetricus+, denote an excess or degeneracy of rigor. The
_difficilis_ understands not the art of easy and agreeable converse,
from hypochondria and temperament; the _morosus_ (from mos) is
scrupulous, and wishes everything to be done according to rule, from
scrupulosity and want of tolerance; the _tetricus_ (redupl. of trux,
τραχύς) is stiff and constrained, from pedantry and want of temper.
(iii. 232.)

AUTUMARE, see _Censere_.

AUXILIUM; OPEM FERRE; OPITULARI; JUVARE; ADJUVARE. 1. +Auxilium+, +opem
ferre+, and +opitulari+, suppose a person in a strait, whom one would
rescue from necessity and danger, in opp. to _deserere_, _destituere_,
and so forth; the _auxilium ferens_ is to be considered as an ally, who
makes himself subservient to the personal safety, or to the interest of
him who is in a strait; the _opem ferens_, as a benefactor, who employs
his power and strength for the benefit of the weak; whereas +juvare+ and
+adjuvare+ (ἰᾶσθαι) suppose only a person striving to do something,
which he may be enabled to do better and quicker by help, in opp. to
_impedire_, Cic. Verr. i. 6. Ter. Heaut. v. 2, 39. Matres solent esse
filiis in peccato _adjutrices_, _auxilio_ in paterna injuria. When in
Liv. ii. 6, Tarquin entreats the Veientes, _ferrent opem_, _adjuvarent_,
he is first considered as exulans, then as regnum repetiturus. 2. +Opem+
and +auxilium ferre+ derive their emphasis from the noun, to bring help,
and nothing else; whereas +opitulari+, and the poetical word,
+auxiliari+, derive their emphasis from their verbal form, and mean to
bring help, and not to refuse. (v. 70.)

AVE; SALVE; VALE. +Ave+ (from εὖ) is a salutation used at meeting and at
parting, like χαῖρε; whereas +salve+ is used at meeting only, +vale+ at
parting, like ἔῤῥωσο. Suet. Galb. 4. Ut liberti mane _salvere_, vespere
_valere_ sibi singuli dicerent. (i. 28.)

AVES, see _Volucres_.

AVIDUS, see _Velle_.

AXES; PLANCÆ; TABULÆ. +Axes+ or +asses+, and +plancæ+, are unwrought
boards, as they come from the saw, and +asses+ as a usual term, +plancæ+
as a technical term; whereas +tabulæ+ are boards that have been made
smooth by the plane, to serve the purposes of luxury. (vi. 34.)

being, πίνειν; whereas +potare+ (from ποτός) to drink like a beast, and,
metaphorically, to tipple, σπᾶν. Sen. Ep. 122. Inter nudos _bibunt_, imo
_potant_. Plaut. Curc. i. 1, 88. Agite, _bibite_, festivæ fores,
_potate_, fite mihi volentes propitiæ. (1. 149.)

BONUS; BENE MORATUS; PROBUS; FRUGI; HONESTUS; SANCTUS. 1. +Bonus+, +bene
moratus+, +probus+, and +frugi+, denote a low degree of morality, in
which a man keeps himself free from blame and punishment, hatred and
contempt:--+bonus+ (anciently duonus, δύναμαι), in the popular sense, in
which benevolence and goodness of heart constitute the principal part of
morality, in opp. to _malus_, like ἀγαθός; +bene moratus+, in a more
philosophical sense, as an acquired character, in which, before all
things, self-control, conscientiousness, and freedom from common
selfishness are cultivated, like εὔτροπος, +probus+ πραΰς), so far as a
man injures no one, nor does what is unjust, as a worthy, upright, just
man; +frugi+, so far as a man, by discretion, conscientiousness, and
diligence, qualifies himself to be useful in practical life, in opp. to
_nequam_, like χρηστός. Quintil. vi. 4, 11. Non est altercandi ars . . .
res animi jacentis et mollis supra modum frontis, fallitque plerumque
quod _probitas_ vocatur, quæ est imbecillitas. Dic. Dejot. 10. _Frugi_
hominem dici non multum laudis habet in rege. Quintil. i. 6, 29. 2.
Whereas +honestus+ and +sanctus+ denote a higher degree of morality,
which, from higher motives, rises above the standard of ordinary men,
and what is called social morality; +honestus+, as an honorable and
chivalrous spirit and demeanor, derived from a principle of honor and
distinction, in opp. to _turpis_; +sanctus+, as a saintly and holy
spirit, derived from a principle of piety. (v. 347.)

feeling. (vi. 45.)

CADERE, see _Labi_.

CÆDERE, see _Verberare_.

CÆRIMONIA, see _Consuetudo_.

CÆSAR, see _Primus_.

CÆTERI; RELIQUI. +Cæteri+ (comparat. from ἐκεῖ) denotes others, as in
direct opposition to those first mentioned, like οἱ ἄλλοι; whereas
+reliqui+, the rest, as merely the remainder that complete the whole,
like οἱ λοιποί. Cic. Brut. 2, 6. Si viveret Hortensius, _cætera_
fortasse desideraret una cum _reliquis_ bonis civibus; hunc aut præter
_cæteros_, aut cum paucis sustineret dolorem. (i. 183.)

CALAMITAS, see _Infortunium_.

fortune, not considered as blind, and without aim, but as taking a part
in the course of human affairs from personal favor or disaffection;
lastly, +fors fortuna+ means a lucky chance, ἀγαθὴ τύχη. 3. All these
beings form an opposition against the +Dii+ and +Fatum+, which do not

intelligible laws of morality, according to merit and worth, right and
equity; +fatum+, according to the mysterious laws by which the universe

or unpleasant feeling which its object excites. (v. 130.)

CONSPECTUS, CONSPICERE, see _Videre_.

foundation in the inclination or convenience of an individual or people,
ἔθος; whereas +mos+ (modus) is the habitual observance of anything, as a
product of reason, and of the self-conscious will, and has its
foundation in moral views, or the clear dictates of right, virtue, and
decorum, ἦθος; lastly, +ritus+ denotes the hallowed observance of
anything, either implanted by nature as an instinct, or introduced by
the gods as a ceremony, or which, at any rate, cannot be traced to any
human origin. +Consuetudines+ are merely factitious, and have no moral

+leges+ by formal decree; +ritus+ (from ἀριθμός, ῥυθμός), are natural,
and are hallowed by their primæval origin, and are peculiar to the

which is employed in the worship of the gods.

CONSUEVISSE, see _Solere_.

CONSUMMARE, see _Finire_.

CONTAMINARE; INQUINARE; POLLUERE. +Contaminare+ (from contingo,
contagio) means defilement in its pernicious effect, as the corruption
of what is sound and useful; +inquinare+ (from cunire, or from πίνος),
in its loathsome effect, as marring what is beautiful, like μορύσσειν;
+polluere+ (from pullus, πελλός), in its moral effect, as the
desecration of what is holy and pure, like μιαίνειν. Cic. Cæcil. 21, 70.
Judiciis corruptis et _contaminatis_; compare with Cœl. 6. Libidinibus
_inquinari_; and Rosc. Am. 26, 71. Noluerunt in mare deferri, ne ipsum
_pollueret_, quo cætera quæ violata sunt, expiari putantur. (ii. 56.)

CONTINUO, see _Repente_.

CONTINUUS; PERPETUUS; SEMPITERNUS; ÆTERNUS. 1. +Continuum+ means that
which hangs together without break or chasm; +perpetuum+, that which
arrives at an end, without breaking off before. Suet Cæs. 76.
_Continuos_ consulatus, _perpetuam_ dictaturam. 2. +Perpetuus+,
+sempiternus+, and +æternus+, denote continued duration; but
+perpetuus+, relatively, with reference to a definite end, that of life
for example; +sempiternus+ and +æternus+, absolutely, with reference to
the end of time in general; +sempiternus+ means, like ἀΐδιος, the
everlasting, what lasts as long as time itself, and keeps pace with
time; +æternum+ (from ætas) like αἰώνιον, the eternal, that which
outlasts all time, and will be measured by ages, for Tempus est pars
quædam _æternitatis_. The sublime thought of that which is without
beginning and end, lies only in +æternus+, not in +sempiternus+, for the
latter word rather suggests the long duration between beginning and end,
without noting that eternity _has_ neither beginning nor end.
+Sempiternus+ involves the mathematical, +æternus+ the metaphysical
notion of eternity. Cic. Orat. ii. 40, 169. Barbarorum est in diem
vivere; nostra consilia _sempiternum_ tempus spectare debent; compare
with Fin. i. 6, 17. Motum atomorum nullo a principio, sed _æterno_
tempore intelligi convenire. (i. 1.)

CONTRARIUS, see _Varius_.

CONTROVERSIA, see _Disceptatio_.

CONTUMELIA; INJURIA; OFFENSIO. 1. +Contumelia+ (from contemnere) denotes
a wrong done to the honor of another; +injuria+, a violation of
another’s right. A blow is an _injuria_, so far as it is the infliction
of bodily harm; and a _contumelia_, so far as it brings on the person
who receives it, the imputation of a cowardly or servile spirit. Senec.
Clem. i. 10. _Contumelias_, quæ acerbiores principibus solent esse quam
_injuriæ_. Pacuv. Non. Patior facile _injuriam_, si vacua est
_contumelia_. Phædr. Fab. v. 3, 5. Cic. Quint. 30, 96. Verr. iii. 44.
2. +Contumelia+ and +injuria+ are actions, whereas +offensio+ denotes a
state, namely, the mortified feeling of the offended person, resentment,
in opp. to _gratia_. Plin. H. N. xix. 1. Quintil. iv. 2. Plin. Pan. 18.
(iv. 194.)

CORRIGERE; EMENDARE. +Corrigere+ means to amend, after the manner of a
rigid schoolmaster or disciplinarian, who would make the crooked
straight, and set the wrong right; whereas +emendare+, after the manner
of an experienced teacher, and sympathizing friend, who would make what
is defective complete. Plin. Pan. 6, 2. Corrupta est disciplina
castrorum, ut tu _corrector emendator_que contingeres; the former by
strictness, the latter by wisdom. Cic. Mur. 29. Verissime dixerim, nulla
in re te (Catonem) esse hujusmodi ut _corrigendus_ potius quam leviter
inflectendus viderere; comp. with Plin. Ep. i. 10. Non castigat
errantes, sed _emendat_. (v. 319.)

CRATER, see _Poculum_.

CREARE; GIGNERE; PARERE; GENERARE. 1. +Creare+ (from κύρω) means, by
one’s own will and creative power to call something out of nothing;
+gignere+ (γίγνεσθαι, γενέσθαι) by procreation or parturition; +gignere+
is allied to +generare+ only by procreation, and to +parere+ (πεπαρεῖν,
πείρειν, only by parturition. 2. +Gignere+ is a usual expression, which
represents procreation as a physical and purely animal act, and supposes
copulation, conception, and parturition; whereas +generare+ is a select
expression, which represents procreation as a sublime godlike act, and
supposes only creative power; hence, for the most part, homines et
belluæ _gignunt_, natura et dii _generant_. And, Corpora _gignuntur_,
poemata _generantur_. Cic. N. D. iii. 16. Herculem Jupiter _genuit_, is
a mythological notice; but Legg. i. 9. Deus hominem _generavit_, is a
metaphysical axiom. (v. 201.)

CREBRO, see _Sæpe_.

CRINIS; CAPILLUS; COMA; CÆSARIES; PILUS; CIRRUS; CINCINNUS. 1. +Crinis+
and +capillus+ denote the natural hair merely in a physical sense, like
θρίξ; +crinis+ (from κάρηνον), any growth of hair, in opposition to the
parts on which hair does not grow; +capillus+ (from caput), only the
hair of the head, in opp. to the beard, etc. Liv. vi. 16. Suet. Aug. 23.
Cels. vi. 2. Cic. Tusc. v. 20. Rull. ii. 5; whereas in +coma+ and
+cæsaries+ the accessory notion of beauty, as an object of sense, is
involved, inasmuch as hair is a natural ornament of the body, or itself
the object of ornament; +coma+ (κόμη) is especially applicable to the
hair of females; +cæsaries+, to that of males, like ἔθειρα. Hence
+crinitus+ means nothing more than covered with hair; +capillatus+ is
used in opp. to bald-headed, Petron. 26, and the Galli are styled
_comati_, as wearing long hair, like καρηκομόωντες. 2. +Crinis+,
+capillus+, +coma+, +cæsaries+, denote the hair in a collective sense,
the whole growth of hair; whereas +pilus+ means a single hair, and
especially the short and bristly hair of animals. Hence +pilosus+ is in
opp. to the beautiful smoothness of the skin, as Cic. Pis. I; whereas
+crinitus+ and +capillatus+ are in opp. to ugly nakedness and baldness.
(iii. 14.) 3. +Cirrus+ and +cincinnus+ denote curled hair; +cirrus+
(κόῤῥη) is a natural, +cincinnus+ (κίκιννος) an artificial curl.
(iii. 23.)

CRUCIATUS; TORMENTUM. +Cruciatus+, +crucimenta+ (κρόκα, κρέκω), denote
in general any pangs, natural and artificial; +tormenta+ (from
torquere), especially pangs caused by an instrument of torture, like the
rack. Cic. Phil. xi. 4. Nec vero graviora sunt carnificum _tormenta_
quam interdum _cruciamenta_ morborum. (vi. 87.)

CRUDELITAS, see _Sævitia_.

CRUENTUS, CRUOR, see _Sanguis_.

CUBARE; JACERE; SITUM ESSE. +Cubare+ (from κείω) denotes the lying down
of living beings; +situm esse+ (ἑτόν, εἶσαι) of lifeless things;
+jacere+, of both. +Cubare+ and +jacere+ are neuter; +situm esse+,
always passive. Further, +cubare+ gives the image of one who is tired,
who wishes to recruit his strength, in opp. to standing, as requiring
exertion, whereas +jacere+ gives the image of one who is weak, without
any accessory notion, in opp. to standing, as a sign of strength.
(i. 138.)

CUBICULUM, see _Conclave_.

CUBILE; LECTUS. +Cubile+ is a natural couch for men and animals, a place
of rest, like κοίτη, εὐνή; +lectus+, an artificial couch, merely for
men, a bed, like λέκτρον. (v. 279.)

CUBITUS, see _Ulna_.

CUDERE, see _Verberare_.

CUDO, see _Cassis_.

CULCITA; PULVINUS; PULVINAR. +Culcita+ (from calcare?) is a hard-stuffed
pillow; +pulvinus+ and +pulvinar+, a soft elastic pillow; +pulvinus+,
such as is used on ordinary civil occasions; +pulvinar+, such as is used
on solemn religious occasions. (vi. 89.)

CULMEN; FASTIGIUM. +Culmen+ means the top, the uppermost line of the
roof; +fastigium+, the summit, the highest point of this top, where the
spars of the roof by sloping and meeting form an angle; therefore
+fastigium+ is a part of +culmen+. Virg. Æn. ii. 458. Evado ad summi
_fastigia culminis_. Liv. xl. 2. Vitruv. iv. 2. Arnob. ii. 12. And
figuratively +culmen+ denotes the top only, with a local reference, as
the uppermost and highest point, something like κολοφών; but +fastigium+
with reference to rank, as the principal and most imposing point of
position, something like κορυφή; therefore +culmen tecti+ is only that
which closes the building, but +fastigium+ that which crowns it; and
+fastigium+ also denotes a throne, whence _culmina montium_ is a much
more usual term than _fastigia_. (ii. 111.)

CULMUS; CALAMUS; STIPULA; SPICA; ARISTA; ARUNDO; CANNA. 1. +Culmus+
means the stalk, with reference to its slender height, especially of
corn; +calamus+ (κάλαμος) with reference to its hollowness, especially
of reeds. 2. +Culmus+ means the stalk of corn, as bearing the ear, as
the body the head, as an integral part of the whole; +stipula+, as being
compared with the ear, a worthless and useless part of the whole, as
stubble. 3. +Spica+ is the full ear, the fruit of the corn-stalk,
without respect to its shape, +arista+, the prickly ear, the tip or
uppermost part of the stalk, without respect to its substance, sometimes
merely the prickles. Quintil. i. 3, 5. Imitatæ _spicas_ herbulæ inanibus
_aristis_ ante messem flavescunt. 4. +Calamus+, as a reed, is the
general term; +arundo+ (from ῥοδανός) is a longer and stronger reed;
+canna+ (from κανών?) a smaller and thinner reed. Colum. iv. 32. Ea est
_arundineti_ senectus, cum ita densatum est, ut gracilis et _cannæ_
similis _arundo_ prodeat. (v. 219.)

CULPA; NOXIA; NOXIUS; NOCENS; SONS. 1. +Culpa+ (κολάψαι) denotes guilt
as the state of one who has to answer for an injury, peccatum, delictum,
maleficium, scelus, flagitium, or nefas; hence a responsibility, and,
consequently, a rational being is supposed, in opp. to _casus_, Cic.
Att. xi. 9. Vell. P. ii. 118, or to _necessitas_, Suet. Cl. 15; whereas
+noxia+, as the state of one who has caused an injury, and can therefore
be applied to any that is capable of producing an effect, in opp. to
_innocentia_. Liv. iii. 42, 2. Illa modo in ducibus _culpa_, quod ut
odio essent civibus fecerant; alia omnis penes milites _noxia_ erat.
Cic. Marc. 13. Etsi aliqua _culpa_ tenemur erroris humani, a scelere
certe liberati sumus; and Ovid, Trist. iv. 1, 23. Et _culpam_ in facto,
non scelus esse meo, coll. 4, 37; hence +culpa+ is used as a general
expression for every kind of fault, and especially for a fault of the
lighter sort, as delictum. 2. +Culpa+ and +noxia+ suppose an injurious
action; but +vitium+ (from αὐάτη, ἄτη) merely an action or quality
deserving censure, and also an undeserved natural defect. 3. +Nocens+,
+innocens+, denote guilt, or absence of guilt, in a specified case, with
regard to a single action; but +noxius+, +innoxius+, together with the
poetical words +nocuus+, +innocuus+, relate to the nature and character
in general. Plaut. Capt. iii. 5, 7. Decet _innocentem_ servum atque
_innoxium_ confidentem esse; that is, a servant who knows himself
guiltless of some particular action, and who, in general, does nothing
wrong. 4. +Noxius+ denotes a guilty person only physically, as the
author and cause of an injury, like βλαβερός; but +sons+ (ὀνοτός)
morally and juridically, as one condemned, or worthy of condemnation,
like θῶος. (ii. 152.)

pulvinis, _cunis_, _incunabulis_. (vi. 69.)

CUNCTARI; HÆSITARE; CESSARE. +Cunctari+ (from ξυνέκειν, or κατέχειν),
means to delay from consideration, like μέλλειν; +hæsitare+, from want
of resolution; +cessare+ (καθίζειν?) from want of strength and energy,
like ὀκνεῖν. The _cunctans_ delays to begin an action; the _cessans_, to

CUPERE, see _Velle_.

CUPIDO; CUPIDITAS; LIBIDO; VOLUPTAS. 1. +Cupido+ is the desire after
something, considered actively, and as in action, in opp. to aversion;
whereas +cupiditas+ is the passion of desire, considered neutrally, as a
state of mind, in opp. to tranquillity of mind. +Cupido+ must
necessarily, +cupiditas+ may be, in construction with a genitive,
expressed or understood; in this case, +cupido+ relates especially to
possession and money, +cupiditas+, to goods of every kind. Vell. P.
ii. 33. Pecuniæ _cupidine_: and further on, Interminatam imperii
_cupiditatem_. 2. +Cupido+ and +cupiditas+ stand in opp. to temperate
wishes; +libido+ (from λίψ) the intemperate desire and capricious
longing after something, in opp. to rational will, _ratio_, Suet. Aug.
69, or _voluntas_, Cic. Fam. ix. 16. +Libidines+ are lusts, with
reference to the want of self-government; +voluptates+, pleasures, in
opp. to serious employments, or to pains. Tac. H. ii. 31. Minus Vitellii

+angor+, mean the disturbance of the mind with reference to a future
evil and danger; +cura+ (from the antiquated word _coera_, from
κοίρανος) as thoughtfulness, uneasiness, apprehension, in opp. to
_incuria_, like φροντίς; +sollicitudo+, as sensitiveness, discomposure,
anxiety, in opp. to _securitas_, Tac. H. iv. 58, like μέριμνα; +angor+
(from ἄγχω) as a passion, anguish, fear, in opp. to _solutus animus_;
whereas +dolor+ and +ægritudo+ relate to a present evil; +dolor+ (from
θλᾶν?) as a hardship or pain, in opp. to _gaudium_, ἄλγος; +ægritudo+,
as a sickness of the soul, like ἀνία, in opp. to _alacritas_. Cic. Tusc.
v. 16. Cic. Fin. i. 22. Nec præterea res ulla est, quæ sua natura aut
_sollicitare_ possit aut _angere_. Accius apud Non. Ubi _cura_ est, ibi
_anxitudo_. Plin. Ep. ii. 11. Cæsar mihi tantum studium, tantam etiam
_curam_--nimium est enim dicere _sollicitudinem_--præstitit, ut, etc.
Quintil. viii. pr. 20. _Curam_ ego verborum, rerum volo esse
_sollicitudinem_. (iv. 419.)

CURVUS; UNCUS; PANDUS; INCURVUS; RECURVUS; REDUNCUS; REPANDUS; ADUNCUS.
1. +Curvus+, or in prose mostly +curvatus+, denotes, as a general

complete circle; +uncus+ supposes a great degree of crookedness,
approaching to a semi-circle, like the form of a hook; +pandus+, a

whereas +detrimentum+ (from detrivisse) means a loss endured, in opp. to
_emolumentum_. Cic. Fin. i. 16. iii. 29; lastly, +jactura+ is a
voluntary loss, by means of which one hopes to escape a greater loss or
evil, a sacrifice. Hence +damnum+ is used for a fine; and in the form,
Videant Coss., ne quid resp. _detrimenti_ capiat, the word _damnum_
could never be substituted for _detrimentum_. (v. 251.)

offences; +delictum+, more the transgression of positive laws, from
levity; +peccatum+ (from παχύς), rather of the laws of nature and
reason, from indiscretion. 2. A synonyme and as it were a circumlocution
of the above words is +malefactum+; whereas +maleficium+ and +facinus+
involve a direct moral reference; +maleficium+ is any misdeed which, as
springing from evil intention, deserves punishment; but +facinus+, a
crime which, in addition to the evil intention, excites astonishment and
alarm from the extraordinary degree of daring requisite thereto. 3.
There are as many sorts of evil deeds, as there are of duties, against
oneself, against others, against the gods; +flagitium+ (from βλαγίς) is
an offence against oneself, against one’s own honor, by gluttony,
licentiousness, cowardice; in short, by actions which are not the
consequence of unbridled strength, but of moral weakness, as evincing
_ignavia_, and incurring shame; whereas +scelus+ (σκληρόν) is an offence
against others, against the right of individuals, or the peace of
society, by robbery, murder, and particularly by sedition, by the

by force to snatch away; +surripere+ and +furari+, secretly and by
cunning; but +surripere+ may be used for taking away privily, even when
just and prudent self-defence may be pleaded as the motive; whereas
+furari+ (φωρᾶν, φέρω) is only applicable to the mean handicraft of the
thief. Sen. Prov. 5. Quid opus fuit _auferre_? accipere potuistis; sed
ne nunc quidem _auferetis_, quia nihil _eripitu_ nisi retinenti. Cic.
Verr. i. 4, 60. Si quis clam _surripiat_ aut _eripiat_ palam atque
_auferat_: and ii. 1, 3. Non _furem_ sed _ereptorem_. (iv. 123.)

persons, things, and actions, as, to cease; whereas +desistere+, an act
of the will, of which persons only are capable, as to desist.
(iii. 101.)

DESOLATUS, see _Relinquere_.

DESPERANS, see _Exspes_.

DESPICERE, see _Spernere_.

DESTINARE; OBSTINARE; DECERNERE; STATUERE; CONSTITUERE. 1. +Destinare+
and +obstinare+ denote forming a resolution as a psychological, whereas
+decernere+ and +statuere+ as a political, act. 2. +Destinare+ means to
form a decided resolution, by which a thing is set at rest; +obstinare+,
to form an unalterable resolution, whereby a man perseveres with
obstinacy and doggedness. 3. +Decernere+ denotes the final result of a
formal consultation, or, at least, of a deliberation approaching the
nature and seriousness of a collegial discussion; +statuere+, to settle
the termination of an uncertain state, and +constituere+ is the word
employed, if the subject or object of the transaction is a multitude.
Cic. Fr. Tull. Hoc judicium sic expectatur, ut non unæ rei _statui_, sed
omnibus _constitui_ putetur. (iv. 178.)

DESTINATIO, see _Pervicacia_.

DESTITUERE, see _Relinquere_.

DESTRUERE; DEMOLIRI. +Destruere+ means to pull down an artificially
constructed, +demoliri+, a solid, building. (vi. 2.)

DETERIOR; PEJOR. +Deterior+ (a double comparative from de) means, like
χείρων, that which has degenerated from a good state, that which has
become less worthy; whereas +pejor+ (from πεζός), like κακίων, that
which has fallen from bad to worse, that which is more evil than it was.
Hence Sallust. Or. Phil. 3. Æmilius omnium flagitiorum postremus, qui
_pejor_ an ignavior sit deliberari non potest:--in this passage
_deterior_ would form no antithesis to _ignavior_. The _deterrimi_ are
the objects of contempt, the _pessimi_ of abhorrence; Catullus employs
the expression _pessimas puellas_, ‘the worst of girls,’ in a jocular
sense, in a passage where this expression has a peculiar force; whereas
_deterrimus_ could, under no circumstances, be employed as a jocular
expression, any more than the words _wretched_, _depraved_. (i. 53.)

DETESTARI, see _Abominari_.

DETINERE, see _Manere_.

DETRECTATIO, see _Invidia_.

DETRIMENTUM, see _Damnum_.

DEUS, see _Numen_.

DEVERSORIUM; HOSPITIUM; CAUPONA; TABERNA; POPINA; GANEUM. +Deversorium+
is any house of reception on a journey, whether one’s own property, or
that of one’s friends, or of inn-keepers; +hospitium+, an inn for the
reception of strangers; +caupona+ (from καρποῦσθαι?) a tavern kept by a
publican. These establishments afford lodging as well as food; whereas
+tabernæ+, +popinæ+, +ganea+, only food, like restaurateurs; +tabernæ+
(from trabes?), for the common people, as eating-houses; +popinæ+ (from
popa, πέψαι), for gentlefolks and gourmands, like ordinaries; +ganea+
(from ἀγανός?), for voluptuaries. (vi. 101.)

DEVINCIRE, see _Ligare_.

DICARE, see _Sacrare_.

DICERE; AIO; INQUAM; ASSEVERARE; AFFIRMARE; CONTENDERE; FARI; FABULARI.
1. +Dicere+ denotes to say, as conveying information, in reference to
the hearer, in opp. to _tacere_, like the neutral word _loqui_. Cic.
Rull. ii. 1. Ver. ii. 1, 71, 86. Plin. Ep. iv. 20. vii. 6, like λέγειν;
but +aio+ expresses an affirmation, with reference to the speaker, in
opp. to _nego_. Cic. Off. iii. 23. Plaut. Rud. ii. 4, 14. Terent. Eun.
ii. 2, 21, like φάναι. 2. +Ait+ is in construction with an indirect form
of speech, and therefore generally governs an infinitive; whereas
+inquit+ is in construction with a direct form of speech, and therefore
admits an indicative, imperative, or conjunctive. 3. +Aio+ denotes the
simple affirmation of a proposition by merely expressing it, whereas
+asseverare+, +affirmare+, +contendere+, denote an emphatic affirmation;
+asseverare+ is to affirm in earnest, in opp. to a jocular, or even
light affirmation, _jocari_. Cic. Brut. 85; +affirmare+, to affirm as
certain, in opp. to doubts and rumors, _dubitare_, Divin. ii. 3, 8;
+contendere+, to affirm against contradiction, and to maintain one’s
opinion, in opp. to yielding it up, or renouncing it. 4. +Dicere+
(δεῖξαι) denotes to say, without any accessory notion, whereas +loqui+
(λακεῖν), as a transitive verb, with the contemptuous accessory notion
that that which is said is mere idle talk. Cic. Att. xiv. 4. Horribile
est quæ _loquantur_, quæ minitentur. 5. +Loqui+ denotes speaking in
general; +fabulari+, a good-humored, or, at least, pleasant mode of
speaking, to pass away the time, in which no heed is taken of the
substance and import of what is said, like λαλεῖν; lastly, +dicere+, as
a neuter verb, denotes a speech prepared according to the rules of art,
a studied speech, particularly from the rostrum, like λέγειν. Liv.
xlv. 39. Tu, centurio, miles, quid de imperatore Paulo senatus
decreverit potius quam quid Sergio Galba _fabuletur_ audi, et hoc
_dicere_ me potius quam illum audi; ille nihil præterquam _loqui_, et id
ipsum maledice et maligne _didicit_. Cic. Brut. 58. Scipio sane mihi
bene et _loqui_ videtur et _dicere_. Orat. iii. 10. Neque enim conamur
docere eum _dicere_ qui _loqui_ nesciat. Orat. 32. Muren. 34, 71. Suet.
Cl. 4. Qui tam ἀσαφῶς _loquatur_, qui possit quum declamat σαφῶς
_dicere_ quæ _dicenda_ sunt non video. 6. +Fari+ (φάναι) denotes
speaking, as the mechanical use of the organs of speech to articulate
sounds and words, nearly in opp. to _infantem esse_; whereas +loqui+
(λακεῖν), as the means of giving utterance to one’s thoughts, in opp. to
_tacere_. And as +fari+ may be sometimes limited to the utterance of
single words, it easily combines with the image of an unusual, imposing,
oracular brevity, as in the decrees of fate, _fati_; whereas +loqui+, as
a usual mode of speaking, is applicable to excess in speaking,
_loquacitas_. (iv. 1.)

DICTERIUM, see _Verbum_.

DICTO AUDIENTEM ESSE, see _Parere_.

DIES; TEMPUS; TEMPESTAS; DIE; INTERDIU. 1. +Dies+ (from ἔνδιος) denotes
time in its pure abstract nature, as mere extension and progression;
whereas +tempus+ and +tempestas+, with a qualifying and physical
reference, as the weather and different states of time; +tempus+ denotes
rather a mere point of time, an instant, an epoch; +tempestas+, an
entire space of time, a period. Hence +dies docebit+ refers to a long
space of time, after the lapse of which information will come, like
χρόνος; whereas +tempus docebit+ refers to a particular point of time
which shall bring information, like καιρός. (iv. 267.) 2. +Die+ means by
the day, in opp. to by the hour or the year; whereas +interdiu+ and
+diu+, by day, in opp. to _noctu_; but +interdiu+ stands in any
connection; +diu+ only in direct connection with _noctu_. (iv. 288.)

DIES FESTI, see _Solemnia_.

[[IN SINGULOS DIES, see _Quotidie_.]]

DIFFERRE; PROFERRE; PROCRASTINARE; PROROGARE. 1. +Differre+ denotes
delay in a negative sense, whereby a thing is not done at present, but
laid aside; whereas +proferre+ and +procrastinare+, delay in a positive
sense, as that which is to take place at a future time; +proferre+
refers to some other time in general; +procrastinare+, to the very next
opportunity. 2. +Differre+ denotes an action, the beginning of which is
put off; +prorogare+, a condition or state, the ending of which is put
off, as to protract. (vi. 102.)

DIFFICILIS, see _Arduus_ and _Austerus_.

DIGLADIARI, see _Pugnare_.

DIGNUM ESSE, see _Merere_.

DILIGENTIA, see _Opera_.

DILIGERE; AMARE; DEAMARE; ADAMARE; CARITAS; AMOR; PIETAS. 1. +Diligere+
(from ἀλέγειν) is love arising from esteem, and, as such, a result of
reflection on the worth of the beloved object, like φιλεῖν; whereas
+amare+ is love arising from inclination, which has its ground in
feeling, and is involuntary, or quite irresistible, like ἐρᾶν, ἔρασθαι;
+diligere+ denotes a purer love, which, free from sensuality and
selfishness, is also more calm; +amare+, a warmer love, which, whether
sensual or platonic, is allied to passion. Cic. Att. xiv. 17. Tantum
accessit ut mihi nunc denique _amare_ videar, ante _dilexisse_. Fam.
xiii. 47. Brut. i. 1. Plin. Ep. iii. 9. 2. +Amare+ means to love in
general; +deamare+, as an intensive, to love desperately, like _amore
deperire_; and +adamare+, as an inchoative, to fall in love.
3. +Caritas+, in an objective sense, means to be dear to some one;
+amor+, to hold some one dear: hence the phrases, _Caritas_ apud
aliquem; _amor_ erga aliquem. 4. +Caritas+, in a subjective sense,
denotes any tender affection, especially that of parents towards their
children, without any mixture of sensuality, and refers merely to
persons, like ἀγάπη or στοργή; whereas +amor+ denotes ardent passionate
love to persons or things, like ἔρως; lastly, +pietas+ (from ψήχω, ψίης,
the instinctive love to persons and things, which we are bound to love
by the holy ties of nature, the gods, those related to us by blood,
one’s native country, and benefactors. +Caritas+ rejoices in the beloved
object and its possession, and shows itself in friendship and voluntary
sacrifices; +amor+ wishes evermore to get the beloved object in its
power, and loves with a restless unsatisfied feeling; +pietas+ follows a
natural impulse and religious feeling. (iv. 97.)

DISCEPTATIO; LITIGATIO; CONTROVERSIA; CONTENTIO; ALTERCATIO; JURGIUM;
RIXA. 1. +Disceptatio+, +litigatio+, and +controversia+, are
dissensions, the settling of which is attempted quietly, and in an
orderly way; +contentio+, +altercatio+, and +jurgium+, such as are
conducted with passion and vehemence, but which are still confined to
words; +rixæ+ (ὀρέκτης) such as, like frays and broils come to blows, or
at least threaten to come to blows, and are mid-way between _jurgium_
and _pugna_. Liv. xxxv. 17. Ex _disceptatione altercationem_ fecerunt.
Tac. Hist. i. 64. _Jurgia_ primum, mox _rixa_ inter Batavos et
legionarios. Dial. 26. Cassius Severus non pugnat, sed _rixatur_.
2. +Controversia+ takes place between two parties the moment they place
themselves in array on opposite sides; +disceptatio+, when they commence
disputing with each other, in order to arrive at the path of truth, or
to discover what is right, but without a hostile feeling; +litigatio+,
when a hostile feeling and a personal interest are at the bottom of the
dispute. 3. +Contentio+ would maintain the right against all opponents,
and effect its purpose, whatever it may be, by the strenuous exertion of
all its faculties; +altercatio+ would not be in debt to its opponent a
single word, but have the last word itself; +jurgium+ (from ὀργή) will,
without hearkening to another, give vent to its ill-humor by harsh
words. +Contentio+ presents the serious image of strenuous exertion;
+altercatio+, the comic image of excessive heat, as in women’s quarrels;
+jurgium+, the hateful image of rude anger. (v. 274.)

DISCERNERE; DISTINGUERE. +Discernere+ (διακρίνειν) means to distinguish
by discrimination and judgment; +distinguere+ (διαστίξαι, or
διατέγγειν), by signs and marks. (vi. 103.)

DISCIPLINÆ, see _Literæ_.

DISCRIMEN, see _Tentare_.

DISERTUS; FACUNDUS; ELOQUENS. +Disertus+ and +facundus+ denote a natural
gift or talent for speaking, whereas +eloquens+, an acquired and
cultivated art. +Disertus+ is he who speaks with clearness and
precision; +facundus+, he who speaks with elegance and beauty;
+eloquens+, he who combines clearness and precision with elegance and
beauty. The _disertus_ makes a good teacher, who may nevertheless be
confined to a one-sided formation of intellect; the _facundus_ is a good
companion, whose excellence may nevertheless be confined to a
superficial adroitness in speaking, without acuteness or depth, whereas
the _eloquens_, whether he speaks as a statesman or as an author, must,
by talent and discipline in all that relates to his art, possess a
complete mastery over language, and the resources of eloquence. Cic.
Orat. 5, 19. Antonius . . . . _disertos_ ait se vidisse multos,
_eloquentem_ omnino neminem. Quintil. viii. pr. 13. _Diserto_ satis
dicere quæ oporteat; ornate autem dicere proprium est _eloquentissimi_.
Suet. Cat. 53. _Eloquentiæ_ quam plurimum adtendit, quantumvis
_facundus_ et promptus. (iv. 14.)

DISPAR, see _Æquus_.

DISPERTIRE, see _Dividere_.

DISPUTARE, see _Disserere_.

DISSERERE; DISPUTARE. +Disserere+ (διερεῖν) means to express an opinion
in a didactic form, and at the same time to explain the grounds of that
opinion; but +disputare+ (διαπυθέσθαι) in a polemical form, and to take
into consideration the arguments against it, and with one’s opponent,
whether an imaginary person or actually present, to weigh argument
against argument, and ascertain on which side the balance of truth lies.
The _disserens_ takes only a subjective view of the question; but the
_disputans_ would come at a result of objective validity. +Disserere+,
moreover, denotes a freer, +disputare+ a more methodical discussion of
the subject. Cic. Rep. iii. 16 i. 24. Fin. i. 9, 31. Orat. ii. 3, 13.
(iv. 19.)

DISTINGUERE, see _Discernere_.

DISTRIBUERE, see _Dividere_.

DIU, DIUTIUS, DIUTINUS, see _Pridem_.

DIVELLERE, see _Frangere_.

DIVERSUS, see _Varius_.

DIVIDERE; PARTIRI; DIRIMERE; DISPERTIRE; DISTRIBUERE. 1. +Dividere+ and
+dirimere+ mean to divide something, merely in order to break the unity
of the whole, and separate it into parts, whereas +partiri+ means to
divide, in order to get the parts of the whole, and to be able to
dispose of them. Hence the phrases _divide et impera_, and _dividere
sententias_, but _partiri prædam_. 2. +Divisio+ denotes, theoretically,
the separation of a genus into its species, whereas +partitio+, the
separation of the whole into its parts. Quintil. v. 10, 63. Cic. Top. 5.
3. +Dividere+ refers to a whole, of which the parts are merely locally
and mechanically joined, and therefore severs only an exterior
connection; but +dirimere+ refers to a whole, of which the parts
organically cohere, and destroys an interior connection. Liv. xxii. 15.
Casilinum urbs . . . Volturno flumine _dirempta_ Falernum ac Campanum
agrum _dividit_: for the separation of a city into two halves by a
river, is an interior separation, whereas the separation of two
neighboring districts by a city, is an exterior separation.
4. +Dividere+ means also to separate into parts, without any accessory
notion, whereas +dispertire+, with reference to future possessors, and
+distribuere+, with reference to the right owners, or to proper and
suitable places. (iv. 156.)

DIVINARE; PRÆSAGIRE; PRÆSENTIRE; PRÆVIDERE; VATICINARI; PRÆDICERE.
1. +Divinare+ denotes foreseeing by divine inspiration and supernatural
aid, like μαντεύεσθαι; +præsagire+ (præ and ἡγεῖσθαι), in a natural way,
by means of a peculiar organization of mind bordering on the
supernatural; +præsentire+ and +prævidere+, by an unusual measure of
natural talent; +præsentire+, by immediate presentiment; +prævidere+, by
foresight, by an acute and happy combination. 2. +Divinare+, etc., are
merely acts of perception, whereas +vaticinatio+ and +prædictio+, the
open expression of what is foreseen; +vaticinatio+, that of the
_divinans_ and _præsagiens_, like προφητεία, prophecy; but +prædictio+,
that of the _præsentiens_ and _prævidens_, prediction. (vi. 105.)

DIVITIÆ; OPES; GAZÆ; LOCUPLES; OPULENTUS; COPIOSUS. 1. +Divitiæ+ and
+gazæ+ denote riches quite generally, as possessions and the means of
satisfying one’s wishes of any sort, whereas +opes+, as the means of
attaining higher ends, of aggrandizing one’s self, and of acquiring and
maintaining influence. +Divitiæ+ (from δεύειν) denotes the riches of a
private person, like πλοῦτος; +opes+ (opulentus, πολύς), the instrument
of the statesman, or of the ambitious in political life; +gazæ+, the
treasure of a king or prince, like θησαυροί. 2. +Dives+ means rich in
opp. to poor, Quintil. v. 10, 26, like πλούσιος; +locuples+ (loculos
πλήθων), well-off, in opp. to _egens_, _egenus_, Cic. Planc. 35. Ros.
Com. 8, like ἀφνειός; +opulentus+ and +copiosus+, opulent, in opp. to
_inops_, Cic. Parad. 6. Tac. H. iii. 6, like εὔπορος. (v. 81.)

DIVORTIUM, see _Repudium_.

DIVUS, see _Numen_.

DOCTOR; PRÆCEPTOR; MAGISTER. +Doctor+ means the teacher, as far as he
imparts theory, with reference to the student, in opp. to the mere
hearer; +præceptor+, as far as he leads to practice, in reference to the
pupil, in opp. to the mere scholar; +magister+, in a general sense, with
reference to his superiority and ascendency in knowledge, in opp. to the
laity. Cic. Orat. iii. 15. Vetus illa doctrina eadem videtur et recte
faciendi et bene dicendi magistra, neque disjuncti _doctores_, sed iidem
erant vivendi _præceptores_ atque dicendi. And. Mur. 31. (vi. 105).

DOCTRINA; ERUDITIO. +Doctrina+ denotes learning as a particular species
of intellectual cultivation, whereas +eruditio+ the learned result, as
the crown of intellectual cultivation. +Doctrina+ evinces a superiority
in particular branches of knowledge, and stands as a co-ordinate notion
with +exercitatio+, which is distinguished from it by involving a
superiority in the ready use of learning, and can therefore, even as a
mere theory, be of more evident service in practice than that which is
indirectly important; +eruditio+ stands in still closer relation to
practice, and involves the co-operation of the different branches of
knowledge and different studies to the ennobling of the human race; it
denotes genuine zeal for the welfare of mankind in an intellectual, as
_humanitas_ does in a moral, point of view. (v. 268.)

DOCTRINÆ, see _Literæ_.

DOLOR; TRISTITIA; MŒSTITIA; LUCTUS. 1. +Dolor+ (from θλᾶν, ἄθλιος?)
denotes an inward feeling of grief, opp. to _gaudium_, Cic. Phil.
xiii. 20. Suet. Cæs. 22, like ἄλγος; whereas +tristitia+, +mœror+,
+luctus+, denote an utterance or external manifestation of this inward
feeling. +Tristitia+ and +mœstitia+ are the natural and involuntary
manifestation of it in the gestures of the body and in the countenance;
+luctus+ (ἀλυκτός), its artificial manifestation, designedly, and
through the conventional signs of mourning, as cutting off the hair,
mourning clothes, etc., at an appointed time, like πένθος. +Mœror+ also
serves for a _heightened_ expression of _dolor_, and +luctus+ of _mœror_
and _tristitia_, as far as the manifestation _is added_ to distinguish
the feeling from it. Cic. Att. xii. 28. _Mærorem_ minui; _dolorem_ nec
potui, nec si possem vellem. Phil. xi. 1. Magno in _dolore_ sum, vel in
_mœrore_ potius, quem ex miserabili morte C. Trebonii accepimus. Plin.
Ep. v. 9. Illud non _triste_ solum, verum etiam _luctuosum_, quod Julius
avitus decessit. Tac. Agr. 43. Finis vitæ ejus nobis _luctuosus_, amicis
_tristis_; for relations only put on mourning. Tac. Ann. ii. 82.
Quanquam nec insignibus lugentium abstinebant, altius animis _mœrebant_.
Cic. Sext. 29, 39. _Luctum_ nos hausimus majorem _dolorem_ ille animi
non minorem. 2. +Tristitia+ (from ταρακτός?) denotes the expression of
grief in a bad sense, as gloom, fretfulness, and ill-humor, opp. to
_hilaratus_, Cic. Att. xii. 40. Fin. v. 30. Cæcil. ap. Gell. xv. 9.
Quintil. xi. 3, 67, 72, 79, 151; whereas +mœstitia+ (from μύρω) denotes
grief, as deserving of commiseration, as affliction, when a most just
grief gives a tone of sadness, in opp. to _lætus_, Sall. Cat. f. Tac.
Ann. i. 28. +Tristitia+ is more an affair of reflection; +mœstitia+, of
feeling. The _tristis_, like the _truculentus_, is known by his
forbidding look, his wrinkled forehead, the contraction of his eyebrows;
the _mœstus_, like the _afflictus_, by his lack-lustre eyes and dejected
look. Tac. Hist. i. 82. Rarus per vias populus _mœsta_ plebs; dejecti in
terram militum vultus, ac plus _tristitæ_ quam pœnitentiæ. Cic. Mur. 24,
49. _Tristem_ ipsum, _mœstos_ amicos: and Orat. 22, 74. (iii. 234.)

DOLOR, see _Cura_.

DOMUS, see _Ædificium_.

DONUM; MUNUS; LARGITIO; DONARIUM; DONATIVUM; LIBERALITAS. 1. +Donum+
(δωτίνη) means a present, as a gratuitous gift, by which the giver
wishes to confer pleasure, like δῶρον; whereas +munus+, as a reward for
services, whereby the giver shows his love or favor, like γέρας; lastly,
+largitio+, as a gift from self-interested motives, which under the show
of beneficence would win over and bribe, generally for political ends.
Suet. Cæs. 28. Aliis captivorum millia _dono_ afferens; that is, not
merely as a loan: compare with Ner. 46. Auspicanti Sporus annulum
_muneri_ obtulit; that is, as a handsome return. Tac. H. ii. 30. Id
comitatem bonitatemque faventes vocabant, quod sine modo (Vitellius)
_donaret_ sua _largiretur_ aliena. 2. +Donarium+ denotes particularly a
gift to a temple; +donativum+, a military gift, or earnest-money, which
the new emperor at his accession to the throne distributes among the
soldiers; +liberalitas+, a gift which the emperor bestowed, generally on
a poor nobleman, for his support. (iv. 142.)

DORSUM; TERGUM. +Dorsum+ (from δέρας) denotes the back, in an horizontal
direction, consequently the back of an animal, in opp. to the belly,
like νῶτον; +tergum+ (from τράχηλος), the back, in a perpendicular
direction, consequently the part between the shoulders in a man, in opp.
to the breast, like μετάφρενον. Hence +dorsum montis+ denotes the
uppermost surface; +tergum montis+, the hinder part of a mountain.
(v. 15.)

DUBIUS; AMBIGUUS; ANCEPS. +Dubius+ (δοιός) and +ambiguus+ (ἀμφὶς ἔχων)
denote doubt, with reference to success or failure, fortune or
misfortune; +anceps+, with reference to existence itself, to the being
or not being. Vell. Pat. ii. 79. Ea patrando bello mora fuit, quod
postea _dubia_ et interdum _ancipiti_ fortuna gestum est. Tac. Ann.
iv. 73. (v. 282.)

DUDUM, see _Pridem_.

DULCIS, see _Suavis_.

DUMI; SENTES; VEPRES. +Dumi+ denotes bushes growing thickly together,
which present the appearance of a wilderness; +sentes+, prickly and
wounding bushes, thorn-bushes; +vepres+ combines both meanings;
thorn-bushes which make the ground a wilderness. (vi. 108.)

DUPLEX; DUPLUM; GEMINUS; DUPLICITER; BIFARIAM. 1. +Duplex+ (δίπλαξ)
denotes double, as distinct magnitudes to be counted: +duplum+ (διπλοῦν)
as continuous magnitudes to be weighed or measured. +Duplex+ is used as
an adjective, +duplum+ as a substantive. Quintil. viii. 6, 42. In quo et
numerus est _duplex_ et _duplum_ virium. 2. In +duplex+ (as in διπλοῦς),
_doubleness_ is the _primary_, _similarity_ and _equality_ the
_secondary_ notion; in +geminus+ (as in δίδυμος), the notion of
_similarity_ and _equality_ is the _primary_, that of _doubleness_ the
_secondary_ one. In Cic. Part. 6. Verba _geminata_ et _duplicata_ vel
etiam sæpius iterata; the word _geminata_ refers to the repetition of
the same notion by synonymes; _duplicata_ to the repetition of the same
word. 3. +Dupliciter+ is always modal; in two different manners, with
double purpose; +bifariam+ is local, in two places, or two parts. Cic.
Fam. ix. 20. _Dupliciter_ delectatus sum literis tuis; compare with
Tusc. iii. 11. _Bifariam_ quatuor perturbationes æqualiter distributæ
sunt. (v. 281.)


E.

EBRIUS; VINOLENTUS; TREMULENTUS; CRAPULA; EBRIOSUS. 1. +Ebrietas+ places
the consequences of the immoderate use of wine in its most favorable
point of view, as the exaltation and elevation of the animal spirits,
and in its connection with inspiration, like μέθη; whereas +vinolentia+,
and the old word +temulentia+, in its disgusting point of view, as
brutal excess, and in its connection with the loss of recollection, like
οἴνωσις; lastly, +crapula+, the objective cause of this condition, like
κραιπάλη. 2. +Ebrius+, and the word of rare occurrence, +madusa+, denote
a person who is drunk, with reference to the condition; +ebriosus+, a
drunkard, with reference to the habit. (v. 330.)

ELOQUI; ENUNCIARE; PROLOQUI; PRONUNCIARE; RECITARE. 1. +Eloqui+ and
+enunciare+ denote an act of the intellect, in conformity to which one
utters a thought that was resting in the mind; but the _eloquens_
regards therein both substance and form, and would express his thought
in the most perfect language; whereas the _enuncians_ regards merely the
substance, and would only make his thought _publici juris_, or
communicate it; hence +elocutio+ belongs to rhetoric, +enuntiatio+ to
logic. 2. On the other hand, +proloqui+ denotes a moral act, in

in opp. to _reticere_, like _profiteri_; lastly, +pronuntiare+, a

refined art, and aims by just modulation, according to the laws of
declamation, to make a pleasing impression. +Pronuntiatio+ relates only

import, as the spirit of speech. (iv. 4.)

+gestare+, like φόρειν, an interior relation, that of the possessor to

sovereign, who resolved upon the war, and is in a state of war; but not
to the army fighting, nor to the commander who is commissioned to

but +pati+ also an infinitive. 2. +Perferre+ is of higher import than
_tolerare_, as +perpeti+ is of higher import than _pati_, to endure
heroically and patiently. Poet. ap. Cic. Tusc. iv. 29. Nec est malum,
quod non natura humana patiendo _ferat_: compare with Tac. Ann. i. 74.
Sen. Thyest. 307. Leve est miserias _ferre_; _perferre_ est grave. Plin.

infinitive; +sinere+, the person acting, and is in construction with
_ut_. (iv. 259.) 5. +Sustinere+ means to hold up, in a general sense,
whereas +sustentare+, to hold up with trouble and difficulty. Curt.

business himself, whereby he imposes at most only a political or legal
responsibility, as to leave (or, give up) to. Cic. Font. 14. Ita ut

one’s word and assurance from conscientiousness, together with the
reliance of others upon us as springing from this quality, the credit we
possess; +fidelitas+ denotes, in a more special sense, like πιστότης,

ourselves; whereas +fiducia+ and +confidentia+ denote the trust we place
in others; +fiducia+, the laudable trust in things, in which we actually
can trust, which is allied to the courage of trusting in ourselves, in
opp. to _timor_; Cic. Div. ii. 31. Plin. Ep. v. 17, like θάρσος; but
+confidentia+ denotes a blamable blind trust, particularly in one’s own
strength, in opp. to foresight and discretion, and which converts spirit
into presumption, like θράσος. 5. +Fiducia+ and +confidentia+ have their
foundation in trusting to the prosperous issue of anything; +audacia+
and +audentia+, in the contempt of danger; +audacia+ sometimes means a
laudable boldness, as a word of higher import than _fiducia_; sometimes
a blamable boldness, as a civil term for _temeritas_, like τόλμα; but
+audentia+ is always a laudable spirit of enterprise. Juven. xiii. 108.
Quum magna malæ superest _audacia_ causæ, creditur a multis _fiducia_.
Sen. Ep. 87. Quæ bona sunt, _fiduciam_ faciunt, divitiæ _audaciam_.
(v. 256.)

FIDES, see _Religio_.

FIDES, see _Chorda_.

FIDUCIA, see _Fides_.

FIDUS; FIDELIS; INFIDUS; INFIDELIS; PERFIDUS; PERFIDIOSUS. 1. +Fidus+
denotes a natural quality, like trustworthy, with relative praise;
whereas +fidelis+ denotes a moral characteristic, as faithful, with
absolute praise. Liv. xxii. 22. Eo vinculo Hispaniam vir unus solerti
magis quam _fideli_ consilio exsolvit. Abellex erat Sagunti, nobilis
Hispanus, _fidus_ ante Pœnis. 2. +Infidus+ means unworthy of trust;
+infidelis+, unfaithful; +perfidus+, treacherous, in particular actions;
+perfidiosus+, full of treachery, with reference to the whole character.
(v. 255.)

FIGURA; FORMA; SPECIES. +Figura+ (from fingere, φέγγειν,) denotes shape
altogether indifferently, in its mathematical relation, as far as it
possesses a definite outline, like σχῆμα; whereas +forma+ (φόριμος,
φόρημα,) denotes it in an _æsthetical_ relation, as far as it is a
visible stamp and copy of an interior substance, to which it
corresponds, like μορφή; lastly, +species+, in its physical relation, as
far as it stands opposed to the inner invisible substance, which it
covers as a mere outside, like εἶδος. Hence +figurare+ means to shape,
that is, to give a definite outline to a formless mass; whereas
+formare+ means to form, that is, to give the right shape to an
unwrought mass; and lastly, +speciem addere+ means to bedeck any thing,
in the old sense of the word, that is, to give to a mass already formed
an exterior that shall attract the eye. According to this explanation
+figura+ refers exclusively to the outline or lineaments, whilst
+forma+, or at least +species+, involves color, size, and the like.
(iii. 25.)

FIMUS, see _Lutum_.

FINDERE; SCINDERE. +Findere+ means to separate a body according to its
natural joints, consequently to divide it, as it were, into its
component parts, to cleave; but +scindere+ (σκεδάσαι) to divide it by
force, without regard to its joints, and so separate it into fragments,
to chop or tear to pieces. Hence +findere lignum+ means to cleave a log
of wood, with the assistance of nature herself, lengthways; +scindere+,
to chop it by mere force breadthways. The _findens æquor nave_ considers
the sea as a conflux of its component waters; the _scindens_, merely as
a whole. (iv. 154.)

FINIRE; TERMINARE; CONSUMMARE; ABSOLVERE; PERFICERE. +Finire+ and
+terminare+ denote the mere ending of anything, without regard to how
far the object of the undertaking is advanced; +finire+ (φθίνειν?) to
end, in opp. to _incipere_, Cic. Orat. iii. 59; but +terminare+, to make
an end, in opp. to _continuare_; whereas +consummare+, +absolvere+, and
+perficere+ denote the completion of a work; +consummare+, as the most
general term in opp. to doing a thing by halves; +absolvere+ refers to a
duty fulfilled, and a difficult work which is now done, and leaves the
workman free, in opp. to _inchoare_; +perficere+ refers to an end
attained, and a self-chosen task, which is now done, and may be called
complete, in opp. to _conari_. Cic. Orat. 29, 30. Verr. i. 27.
+Absolutus+ also has an extensive signification, and refers to the
completeness of the work, like ἐντελής; +perfectus+, an intensive
signification, and refers to the excellence of the work, like τέλεῖος.
(iv. 366.)

FINIS; TERMINUS; LIMES. +Finis+ (from φθίνω) denotes a boundary, as a
mathematical line, like τέλος; +terminus+ and +limes+, a mark, as the
material sign of a boundary; +terminus+ (τειρόμενος, τέρμα,) a stone set
up, as the sign of a bounding point, like τέρμα; +limes+, a ridge, as
the sign of a bounding line, like ὅρος. Cic. Læl. 16. Constituendi sunt
qui sint in amicitia _fines_ et quasi _termini_ diligendi. Hor. Carm.
ii. 18, 24. Revellis agri _terminos_ et ultra _limites_ clientium salis
avarus. (iv. 359.)

FINITIMUS, see _Vicinus_.

FIRMUS, see _Validus_.

FISCUS, see _Ærarium_.

FLAGITARE, see _Petere_.

FLAGITIUM, see _Delictum_.

FLAGRARE, see _Ardere_.

FLAVUS, see _Luteus_.

FLERE, see _Lacrimare_.

FLUCTUS, see _Aqua_.

FLUENTUM, see _Aqua_.

FLUERE; MANARE; LIQUERE. +Fluere+ (φλύω) denotes flowing, with reference
to the motion of the fluid; +manare+ (from μανός, or _madere_,) with
reference to the imparting of the fluid; and +liquere+, with reference
to the nature of the fluid. The cause of the _fluendi_ is, that the
fluid has no dam, and according to the law of gravity flows on; whereas
the cause of the _manandi_ is the over-fulness of the spring; lastly,
+liquere+, to be fluid, is the negative state of _fluere_ and _manare_.
Hence +fluere+, with its synonyme +labi+, is more opposed to _hærere_
and _stare_; and moreover +labari+, with its synonyme +effundi+, more
opposed to _contineri_, _claudi_; lastly, +liquere+, with its synonyme
+dissolvi+, more opposed to _concrevisse_, _rigere_. Gell. xvii. 11.
Plato potum dixit _defluere_ ad pulmonem, eoque satis humectato,
demanare per eum, quia sit rimosior, et _confluere_ inde in vesicam.
(ii. 1.)

FLUVIUS; FLUMEN; AMNIS. +Fluvius+, +flumen+, (from φλύω) denote, like
ῥόος, ῥεῦμα, an ordinary stream, in opp. to a pond and lake; whereas
+amnis+ (ἀμένας, _manare_,) like ποταμός, a great and mighty river, in
opp. to the sea. Cic. Div. i. 50. and Divin. i. 35, 78. Ut _flumina_ in
contrarias partes fluxerint, atque in _amnes_ mare influxerit. Tac. Ann.
xv. 58. Senec. N. Q. iii. 19. Habet ergo non tantum venas aquarum terra,
ex quibus corrivatis _flumina_ effici possunt, sed et _amnes_
magnitudinis vastæ. Then: Hanc magnis _amnibus_ æternam esse materiam,
cujus non tangantur extrema sicut _fluminum_ et fontium. Tac. Hist.
v. 23. Quo Mosæ _fluminis_ os _amnem_ Rhenum oceano affundit. Curt.
ix. 4, 5. (ii. 7.)

FŒCUNDUS; FERTILIS; FERAX; UBER; FRUGIFER; FRUCTUOSUS. 1. +Fœcundus+
(from φύω, fœtus,) denotes the fruitfulness of a living and breeding
being, in opp. to _effatus_, like εὔτόκος; whereas +fertilis+ and
+ferax+ (from (φέρω) the fruitfulness of inanimate and productive
nature, and of the elements, opposed to _sterilis_, like εὔφορος. Tac.
Ann. xii. 63. Byzantium _fertili_ solo _fœcundoque_ mari, quia vis
piscium hos ad portus adfertur. Germ. 5. Terra satis _ferax,
frugiferarum_ arborum impatiens, pecorum _fœcunda_, sed plerumque
improcera. Mela. i. 9, 1. Terra mire _fertilis_ et animalium
_perfœcunda_ genetrix. And ii. 7. 2. +Fertilis+ denotes the actual
fruitfulness which has been produced by cultivation; +ferax+, the mere
capability which arises from the nature of the soil. Cicero uses
_fertilis_ in a proper, _ferax_, in a figurative sense. 3. +Fertilis+
and +ferax+ denote fruitfulness under the image of creative and
productive power, as of the father and mother; +uber+, under the image
of fostering and sustaining, as of the nurse, like εὐθηνής; +frugifer+,
under the image of a corn-field; +fructuosus+, under that of a tree rich
in fruit, like ἔγκαρπος. (iv. 831.)

FŒDUS; SOCIETAS. +Fœdus+ (πεποιθός) is an engagement for mutual
security, on the ground of a sacred contract; whereas +societas+, an
engagement to some undertaking in common on the ground of a mere
agreement. Liv. xxiv. 6. Hieronymus legatos Carthaginem mittit ad
_fœdus_ ex _societate_ faciendum. Sall. Jug. 14. Cic. Phil. ii. 35.
Neque ullam _societatem . . . . fœdere_ ullo confirmari posse credidi.
(vi. 132.)

FŒDUS, see _Tæter_.  [[redirects to _Teter_]]

FŒMINA, see _Femina_.

FŒNUS; USURA. +Fœnus+ (from φύω, fœtus,) denotes interest as the produce
of capital, like τόκος; +usura+ denotes what is paid by the debtor for
the use of capital, like δάνος. (vi. 133.)

FŒTUS; FŒDUS, see _Prægnans_.

FORES, see _Ostium_.

FORMA, see _Figura_.

FORMARE, see _Erudire_.

FORMIDO, see _Vereri_.

FORMOSUS; PULCHER; VENUSTUS. 1. +Formosus+ means beauty, as far as it
excites pleasure and delight by fineness of form; +pulchrum+, as far as
it excites admiration, is imposing, and satisfies the taste by its
perfectness; +venustum+, as far as by its charms it excites desire, and
captivates. +Formositas+ works on the natural sense of beauty;
+pulchritudo+, on the cultivated taste; +venustas+, on the more refined
sensuality. Suet. Ner. 51. Fuit vultu _pulchro_ magis quam _venusto_;
that is, it had perfect and regular beauty rather than pleasing
features, and possessed a cold, heartless sort of beauty, by which no
one felt attracted. Comp. Catull. lxxxvi. Hor. A. P. 99. Cic. Off.
i. 36. 2. +Venustas+, loveliness, is of higher import than _gratia_,
grace; the former transports, the latter only attracts. (iii. 29.)

FORS, see _Casus_.

FORTE, FORTUITO, FORTASSE, FORSITAN, see _Casu_.

FORTITUDO, see _Ferocia_.

FORTUNA, see _Casus_.

FORTUNATUS, see _Felix_.

FOVEA, see _Specus_.

FOVERE, see _Calere_.

FRAGOR; STREPITUS; CREPITUS; SONITUS. +Fragor+ (σφάραγος) is a hollow,
discordant sound, as crashing, like δοῦπος; +strepitus+ (θρέω, θορυβή?)
a loud noisy sound, as roaring, bawling, shrieking, like κτύπος;
+crepitus+ (from κρέμβαλον?) a single sound, or the frequent repeating
of the same sound, as clapping, like κροῦσις, κρότος; +sonitus+ (ἔνοσις,
Ἐνυώ) a sound consisting of the vibrations of elastic bodies, as
ringing, clinking, like ἠχή. Cic. Top. 12. Quæruntur pedum _crepitus,
strepitus_ hominum. (v. 117.)

FRAGRARE, see _Olere_.

FRANGERE; RUMPERE; DIVELLERE. 1. +Frangere+ (ῥῆξαι? or σφαράξαι) denotes
to break to pieces what is hard; +rumpere+ (from ῥέπω, ῥόπαλον,) to rend
to pieces what is flexible. Cato ap. Prisc. Si quis membrum _rupit_, aut
os _fregit_: for by breaking a limb, not the invisible bones, but the
visible flesh, is rent asunder. When, however, +rumpere+ is applied to
any thing hard, it involves the notion of exertion employed, and of
danger; the _frangens_ breaks to pieces what is entire; the _rumpens_
rends to pieces what is obstructive. 2. +Disrumpere+ and +diffringere+
mean to rend to pieces, and break to pieces, what was originally entire;
whereas +divellere+ (διέλκειν) to tear asunder what was at first joined
together. (v. 321.)

FRAUDARE, see _Fallere_.

FRENUM; HABENA; OREÆ. 1. +Frenum+ (from φράξαι?) is the bridle with
which the rider breaks the wild horse, like χαλινός; whereas +habena+
(from hebes, χαβός, κάμψαι,) the rein with which he turns the obedient
horse, like ἡνίον. Hor. Ep. i. 15, 13. Læva stomachosus _habena_ dicet
eques; sed equi _frenato_ est auris in ore; that is, he minds not the
reins, and must feel the bit. Cic. Orat. i. 53. Senatum servire populo,
cui populus ipse moderandi et regendi sui potestatem quasi quasdam
_habenas_ tradidisset: comp. with Tac. Dial. 38. Pompeius adstrinxit,
imposuitque quasi _frenos_ eloquentiæ. 2. +Oreæ+, +aureæ+, now only to
be found in +auriga+, were, perhaps, the generic term of _frenum_ and
_habena_, like harness. (v. 137.)

FREQUENTER, see _Sæpe_.

FRETUS, see _Confisus_.

FRICARE, see _Lævis_.

FRIGERE; ALGERE; ALGIDUS; ALSUS; GELIDUS; FRIGUS; GELU; GLACIES.
+Frigere+ (φρίξαι) means to be cold, in opp. to _calere_, Cic. Fam.
viii. 8. Auct. Her. iv. 15. Sen. Ir. ii. 18; whereas +algere+ (ἀλγεῖν)
means to feel cold, in opp. to _æstuare_. Cic. Tusc. ii. 14, 34. Sen.
Ir. iii. 12. Plin. H. N. xvii. 26. 2. +Algidus+ denotes cold, as an
unpleasant chill; +alsus+, as a refreshing coolness. 3. +Frigidus+
denotes a moderate degree of coldness, in opp. to _calidus_; whereas
+gelidus+ means on the point of freezing, in opp. to _fervidus_.
4. +Frigus+ denotes, objectively, cold in itself, which attacks a man,
and leaves him; whereas +frigedo+ denotes cold, subjectively, as the
state of a man attacked by cold, which begins and ends; it is an
antiquated word which has become obsolete by the general use of
_frigus_. 5. +Gelu+, +gelus+, +gelum+, (γλοία) denote, like κρύος, cold
that produces ice; +gelicidium+, like κρυμός, a single attack of frost,
a frosty night; and +glacies+, like κρύσταλλος, its effect, ice.
(iii. 89.)

FRUCTUOSUS, see _Fœcundus_.

FRUGI, see _Bonus_.

FRUGIFER, see _Fœcundus_.

FRUI, FRUNISCI, see _Uti_.

FRUSTRA; NEQUIDQUAM; INCASSUM; IRRITUS. 1. +Frustra+ (from ψύθος) means
in vain, with reference to the subject, whose expectation and
calculations have been disappointed; whereas +nequidquam+ (that is, in
nequidquam, in nihil), to no purpose, refers to the nullity in which the
thing has ended. 2. Hence +frustra+, used adjectively, refers to the
person; whereas +irritus+, the actual adjective, refers to the thing.
3. +Frustra+ and +nequidquam+ denote merely a failure, without imputing
a fault, like μάτην; whereas +incassum+ involves the accessory notion of
a want of consideration, by which the failure might have been calculated
upon, and foreseen, as in attempting any thing manifestly or
proverbially impossible, εἴς κενόν. (iii. 100.)

FRUSTRARI, see _Fallere_.

FRUTICETUM, see _Rami_.

FUGITIVUS, see _Perfuga_.

FULCIRI; NITI. +Fulciri+, +fultus+ (φυλάξαι) means to prop one’s self up
in order to be secure against falling, generally by leaning against a
pillar, etc.; whereas +niti+, +nixus+, in order to climb a height, or to
get forward, generally by standing on a basis. (ii. 127.)

FULGUR; FULGURATIO; FULMEN. +Fulgur+, +fulgetrum+, and +fulguratio+,
denote the shining of the lightning in the horizon, like ἀστραπή;
+fulgur+, as momentary and single flashes; +fulguratio+, as continued
and repeated; whereas +fulmen+ means the lightning that strikes the
earth, like κεραυνός. Liv. xl. 59. _Fulguribus_ præstringentibus aciem
oculorum, sed _fulmina_ etiam sic undique micabant, ut petit viderentur
corpora. Curt. viii. 4, 3. Ovid, Met. iii. 300. Cic. Divin. ii. 19.
Plin. H. N. ii. 43. Si in nube erumpat ardens, _fulmina_; si longiore
tractu nitatur _fulgetra_; his findi nubem, illis perrumpi. Sen. Q. N.
i. 1. (iii. 318.)

FUNALE, see _Fax_.

FUNDAMENTUM, FUNDUS, see _Solum_.

FUNDUS, see _Villa_.

FUNIS, see _Laqueus_.

FUNUS; EXSEQUIÆ; POMPA. +Funus+ (from φοινός, πεφνεῖν,) denotes the mere
carrying out of the corpse, like ἐκφορά; whereas +exsequiæ+ and +pompa+
(πομπή) denote the solemn procession; +exsequiæ+, of the living, as
relations and friends; +pompa+, of the inanimate, as the images of
ancestors, and other pageants. Cic. Quint. 15. _Funus_, quo amici
conveniunt ad _exsequias_ cohonestandas. And Plin. H. N. x. 43. Flor.
iii. 20. Nep. Att. 22. Elatus est in lecticula, sine ulla _funeris
pompa_, comitantibus omnibus bonis, maxima vulgi frequentia. And Cic.

+ferula+ denote sticks for striking; +sudes+, +trudes+, and +rudis+, for
thrusting; +scipio+ and +baculus+, for walking. 2. +Fustus+ (πτορθός?)
is a cudgel or club, large enough to strike a man dead; but +ferula+, a
little stick, or rod for the chastisement of school-boys; +sudes+ (ὄζος)
and +trudes+ (στορθή, the root of Trüssel, a weapon called the
Morning-star) [a sort of truncheon with a spiked head], are used in
battle; +rudis+ (ὀρσός) only as a foil in the fencing-school; +scipio+
(σκηπίων, σκῆψαι), serves especially for ornament and state, as a symbol
of superior power, or of the honor due to age; +baculus+, +bacillum+
(βάκτρον), serve more for use and convenience to lean upon, and at the
same time, when necessary, as a weapon. (iii. 265.)


G.

GALEA, see _Cassis_.

GANEUM, see _Deversorium_.

GANNIRE, see _Latrare_.

GARRIRE; FABULARI; BLATIRE; BLATERARE; LOQUAX; VERBOSUS. 1. +Garrire+
(γηρύω) denotes talking, with reference to excessive fondness for
speaking; +fabulari+, to the nullity; +blatire+, and the intensive
+blaterare+, to the foolishness of what is said. 2. The _garrulus_ is
tiresome from the quality, the _loquax_ from the quantity, of what he
says. For +garrulitas+ expresses childish or idle talkativeness, from
the mere pleasure of talking and hearing one’s self talk, without regard
to the value and substance of what is said, and has its origin in a
degeneracy of youthful vivacity, and even in the abuse of superior
talents, like λαλία; whereas +loquacitas+ (λακάζειν) expresses a quaint
talkativeness, from inability to stop short, which has its origin in the
diminished energy of old age, like ἀδολεσχία. The _garrulus_, in his
efforts to please and entertain by light conversation, is silly and
imbecile; the _loquax_, in his efforts to instruct, and make himself
clearly understood, is often tedious. 3. +Garrulus+ and +loquax+ denote
qualities of persons, speakers; +verbosus+, of things, speeches, and
writings. (iii. 81.)

GAUDERE; LÆTARI; HILARIS; ALACER; GESTIRE; EXSULTARE. 1. +Gaudere+ (from
γαῦρος) denotes joy as an inward state of mind, in opp. to _dolor_, like
ἥδεσθαι; whereas +lætari+ and +hilarem esse+, the utterance of joy. Tac.
Hist. ii. 29. Ut valens processit, _gaudium_, miseratio, favor; versi in
_lætitiam_ . . . . laudantes gratantesque. 2. The _lætus_ (from
λιλαίομοι) shows his joy in a calm cheerfulness, which attests perfect
satisfaction with the present, in opp. to _mœstus_, Tac. Ann. xv. 23;
the _hilaris_ (ἱλαρός) in awakened mirth, disposing to jest and
laughter, in opp. to _tristis_; the _alacer_ (ἀλκή) in energetic
vivacity, evincing spirit and activity, in opp. to _territus_. Cic. Cœl.
28. The _gaudens_, the _lætus_, the _hilaris_, derive joy from a piece
of good fortune; the _alacer_ at the same time from employment and
action. Cic. Divin. i. 33, 73. Equum _alacrem lætus_ adspexit. +Lætitia+
shows itself chiefly in an unwrinkled forehead, and a mouth curled for
smiling; +hilaritas+, in eyes quickly moving, shining, and radiant with
joy; +alacritas+, in eyes that roll, sparkle, and announce spirit. Sen.
Ep. 116. Quantam serenitatem _lætitia_ dat. Tac. Agr. 39. Fronte
_lætus_, pectore anxius. Cic. Pis. 5. Te _hilarioribus_ oculis quam
solitus es intuente. 3. +Gaudere+ and +lætari+ denote a moderate;
+exsultare+ and +gestire+, and perhaps the antiquated word +vitulari+, a
passionate, uncontrolled joy, as to exult and triumph; the _gestiens_
(γηθεῖν) discovers this by an involuntary elevation of the whole being,
sparkling eyes, inability to keep quiet, etc.; the _exsultans_, by a
voluntary, full resignation of himself to joy, which displays itself, if
not by skipping and jumping, at least by an indiscreet outbreak of joy,
bordering on extravagance. 4. +Jucundus+ denotes, like juvat me,
a momentary excitement of joy; +lætus+, a more lasting state of joy;
hence _lætus_ is used as the stronger expression, in Plin. Ep. v. 12.
Quam mihi a quocunque excoli _jucundum_, a te vero _lætissimum_ est.
(iii. 242.)

GENS; NATIO; POPULUS; CIVITAS. 1. +Gens+ and +natio+ denote a people, in
a physical sense, in the description of nations, as a society
originating in common descent and relationship, without any apparent
reference to civilization; whereas +populus+ and +civitas+ denote a
people in a political sense, as a society formed by civilization and
compact. Sall. Cat. 10, 1. _Nationes_ feræ et _populi_ ingentes subacti.
Cic. Rep. i. 25. 2. +Gens+ (γενετή) includes all people of the same
descent, like φῦλον; +natio+ (from γνήσιος) a single colony of the same,
like ἔθνος. Vell. P. ii. 98. Omnibus ejus _gentis nationibus_ in arma
accensis. Tac. G. 2, 38. But as _gens_, in this physical sense, as the
complex term for several colonies, has a more comprehensive meaning than
_natio_, so has it, at the same time, in its political accessory
meaning, as a clan, γένος, or as the complex term for several families,
a narrower meaning than _populus_; hence sometimes _populus_ forms, as a
civilized _natio_, a part of the natural _gens_. Liv. iv. 49. Bolanis
suæ _gentis populo_, and Virg. A. x. 202; sometimes +gens+, as a
political society, forms a part of _populus_: Justin. vii. 1. Adunatis
_gentibus_ variorum _populorum_. 3. +Civitas+ (from κείω) denotes the
citizens of a town collectively, πόλις, merely with regard to their
interior connection, as including the inhabitants who are in the
enjoyment of the full rights of citizenship, and the lawful possessors
of the land; +populus+ (redupl. of πόλις) means the people, δῆμος, more
commonly in reference to their social relations, interior and exterior,
and with the included notion of belonging to the state. A people can
determine upon war as a _civitas_; but can carry it on only as a
_populus_. A _civitas_ is necessarily stationary; but a _populus_ may
consist of _Nomades_, or wanderers from one pasture to another.

+ensis+ (from ansa?) the select and poetical name for a sword. Quintil.
x. 1, 11. (v. 188.) 2. +Pugio+ (from pungere) is a dagger, as a fair and
openly used soldier’s weapon, on a level with the sword; whereas +sica+
(from secare) is the unfair and secret weapon of the bandit, on a level
with poison. (vi. 291.)

GRADATIM, see _Paulatim_.

GRADIRI, see _Ire_.

GRADUS; GRESSUS; PASSUS. 1. +Gressus+ denotes a step subjectively,
whereas +gradus+ objectively. +Gressus+ is a step that is being taken;
+gradus+ that is taken. 2. +Gressus+ is a product of going, but
+passus+, of standing also, if the feet are at the same distance from
each other as in walking. +Gressus+ denotes any separation of the feet,
whether longer or shorter, quicker or slower, whether deserving the name
of step or not; whereas +passus+ means a regular measured step, which at
the same time serves as a measure of length. Virg. Æn. i. 414. Tendere
_gressus_ ad mœnia: comp. with ii. 723. Iulus sequitur patrem non
_passibus_ æquis. (iv. 58.)

GRÆCI; GRAII; GRÆCULI; GRÆCANICUS. 1. +Græci+ denotes the Greeks merely
as a term in the description of different nations, and a historical
name, without any accessory moral reference; whereas +Graii+, with
praise, as the classical name for a nation of heroes in days of yore:
+Græculi+, with blame, as the degenerate people, false and unworthy of
trust, that existed in the times of the Roman writers. 2. +Græcum+ means
what is really Grecian, whether in or out of Greece; but +Græcanicus+,
what is made after the Grecian manner, what is merely à la Grecque.

as precious, interesting, and worthy of thanks; but +jucundum+ (from
juvare) in reference to the joy which it brings us, as delightful. Cic.
Att. iii. 24. Ista veritas etiam si _jucunda_ non est, mihi tamen
_grata_ est. Fam. v. 18. Cujus officia _jucundiora_ scilicet sæpe mihi
fuerunt, nunquam _gratiora_. And v. 15. xiii. 18. 2. +Gratus+ refers to
the feeling, as wished for; +acceptus+, to its expression, as welcome.
3. The _gratus alicui_ meets with no antipathy, but is liked; the

+stilla+ the principal notion is that of humidity, hence +stillatim+
means trickling or dripping. +Stilla+ means a liquid; +stiria+ (στερεά)

_Hariolorum_ et _vatum_ furibundæ prædictiones, it is only the
_harioli_, who from their position and in public estimation already pass
for charlatans; whereas the _vates_ are charlatans only, as Cicero
himself views them from his philosophical elevation. (iii. 76.)

_horridus_, to his rough nature. (vi. 161.)

HORROR, see _Vereri_.

HORTARI; MONERE. The +hortatio+ (ὄρθωσις, ἐρέθω), addresses itself
immediately to the will and resolution; whereas the +monitio+, almost
entirely to the consciousness and judgment. The +hortatio+ has always an
action for its object; the +monitio+, only a representation, and by the
medium of that representation, an action for its object. Sall. Jug. 60.
_Monere_ alii, alii _hortari_. Cat. 60. Nequidquam _hortere_ . . . Sed
ego vos quo pauca _monerem_, convocavi. Sen. Ep. 13. Nimium diu te
_cohortor_, cum tibi _admonitione_ magis quam _exhortatione_ opus sit.

reprimere, aut si dubitarem, _hortatio_ impellere posset. (i. 164.)

intelligence, ennobles the whole man in mind and heart, and gives to his
nature mildness and philanthropy, as a principle; in opp. to _feritas_;
+comitas+ (from κόσμος) is a moral virtue, which, like affability,
without respect to higher rank in society, treats every man as a man;
+facilitas+, a social virtue, which, like complaisance, by forbearance
and meeting the views of others, facilitates mutual intercourse in life,
and makes it pleasant; +civilitas+, a political virtue, which, like the
republican feeling of a prince, makes the specific difference between a
ruler and his people unfelt, and treats his subjects as fellow-citizens.
Nep. Milt. 8. In Miltiade erat quum summa _humanitas_, tum mira
_comitas_, ut nemo tam humilis esset cui non ad eum aditus pateret.
(v. 6.)

HUMANITUS; HUMANE; HUMANITER. +Humanitus+ means in a human manner, in

I & J.

JACERE, see _Cubare_.

JACTATIO; GLORIATIO; OSTENTATIO; VENDITATIO. +Jactatio+ and +gloriatio+
have their foundation in vanity and self-complacency; +jactatio+ is
making much ado of one’s excellencies and merits, and shows itself in
words and actions, with the accessory notion of folly; +gloriatio+ is
talking big, proclaiming one’s excellencies and merits, with the
accessory notion of insolence; whereas +ostentatio+ and +venditatio+
have their foundation in a crafty calculation of the effect to be
produced, and a disregard to truth; +ostentatio+ would conceal real
emptiness under a false show; +venditatio+ would, by exaggerating one’s
excellencies, pass them off for greater than they are.

JACTURA, see _Amittere_ and _Damnum_.

JACULUM, see _Missile_.

JANUA, see _Ostium_.

ICERE, see _Verberare_.

IDONEUS; APTUS. +Idoneus+ denotes a passive, +aptus+ an active fitness
for any thing. F. A. Wolf. Or, the _idoneus_ is fitted by his
qualifications, and, through outward circumstances, for any particular
destination, like the ἐπιτήδειος; the aptus (from potis, potens), by his
worth and adequacy, like ἱκανός. The _idoneus_ is in himself inactive,
and suffers himself to be employed for a particular purpose, for which
he is qualified; the _aptus_ himself engages in the business, because he
is adequate to it. (iii. 276.)

IGNARUS, see _Cognitio_.

IGNAVIA; INERTIA; SEGNITIA; DESIDIA; SOCORDIA; PIGRITIA. 1. +Ignavia+
denotes the love of idleness, in an +ideal+ sense, inasmuch as the
impulse to action distinguishes the more noble from the ordinary man,
and gives him an +absolute+ value; in opp. to _industria_, Tac. Ann.
xii. 12. xvi. 18; whereas +inertia+ denotes the love of idleness in a
_real tangible_ sense, inasmuch as activity makes a man a useful member
of society, and gives him a relative value. +Ignavia+ is inherent in the
temperament, and has no inclination for action; +inertia+ lies in the
character and habits, and has no desire to work. A lazy slave is called
_inors_; a person of rank, that passes his time in doing nothing, is
_ignavus_. 2. +Segnitia+, +desidia+, +socordia+, and +pigritia+, are the
faults of a too easy temperament. +Segnitia+ (from sequi, ὄκνος,) wants
rousing, or compulsion, and must be conquered, before it resigns its
ease, in opp. to _promptus_. Tac. Agr. 21. +Desidia+ (from sedere) lays
its hands on its lap, and expects that things will happen of themselves;
+socordia+ is susceptible of no lively interest, and neglects its duties
from want of thought, like phlegm; +pigritia+ has an antipathy to all
motion, and always feels best in a state of absolute bodily rest, like
slothfulness. (iv. 212.)

IGNAVIA, see _Vereri_.

IGNOMINIA; INFAMIA; DEDECUS; PROBRUM; OPPROBRIUM. 1. +Ignominia+
deprives one of political honor, which is independent of the reports
circulated concerning a man, and is the consequence of an official
denunciation, the justice of which is supposed; that of the censor, for
example, like ἀτιμία; whereas +infamia+ deprives one of moral honor, of
one’s good name, has a reference to public scorn, and is the consequence
of shameless and dishonorable conduct, like δυσφημία. 2. +Ignominia+ and
+infamia+ are abstract, and denote subjective states; +dedecus+ and
+probrum+ are concrete, and denote, objectively, disgrace itself;
+dedecus+ is a deviation from the conduct that becomes a man of honor,
from whom noble actions are expected; +probrum+ is a stain on the
morality of a man, from whom, at least, irreproachable conduct is
expected. +Dedecus+ is incurred generally in our public relations, by
abjectness of spirit, etc.; +probrum+, in our private relations, by
licentiousness, etc. 3. +Probrum+ (from προφέρω is reproach, as far as
it can justly be made; +opprobrium+, reproach, as far as it actually is
made. In _probrum_ the disgrace itself is more considered; in
_opprobrium_, the open proclamation of it.

IGNOSCERE; VENIAM DARE. +Ignoscere+ (ἀναγιγνώσκειν) is a moral act; as,
to forgive from one’s heart; to forgive and forget, in opp. to retaining
anger, συγγιγνώσκειν; whereas +veniam dare+ (ἀνίαν or ἄνεσιν δοῦναι) is
a political act, to allow clemency to take place of justice, in opp. to
punishment, like μεθιέναι. The friend _ignoscit_ a person of his own
rank; one who is of higher rank and greater power _veniam dat_. Cic.
Man. 3. Illis imperatoribus laus est tribuenda quod egerunt; _venia
danda_ quod reliquerunt; comp. with Att. xvi. 16. _Ignosce_ mihi quod
eadem de re sæpius scribam. (v. 170.)

ILIA, see _Caro_.

ILLICO, see _Repente_.

ILLUSTRIS, see _Celeber_ and _Luculentus_.

IMAGO; SIMULACRUM; STATUA; SIGNUM. 1. +Imago+ and +simulacrum+ denote,
as the most general terms, any representation, whether a work of
statuary or of painting; +imago+ (μηχανή) is allied to the original, as
to a pattern, by a striking likeness of form, like εἰκών; +simulacrum+
is opposed to the original, as a real being, by a deceptive imitation of
its form, like εἴδωλον; whereas +statua+, +signum+, and +effigies+, are
merely plastic works; +tabula+ and +pictura+, merely pictures.
2. +Simulacrum+ and +statua+ denote the copying of the whole figure,
consequently, in the plastic art, standing figures; +effigies+ and
+imago+, principally the copying of the characteristic parts, namely,
the features; +effigies+, in statuary, as busts; +imago+, in painting,
as half-length portraits. Tac. Ann. i. 74. Alia in _statua_ amputato
capite Augusti _effigiem_ Tiberii inditam. Hist. ii. 3. _Simulacrum_ deæ
_effigie_ humana. Cic. Tusc. iii. 2, 3. Optimus quisque consectatur
nullam eminentem _effigiem_ (virtutis) sed adumbratam _imaginem_ gloriæ.
+Signum+ (from sequo, to proclaim,) means any plastic work, in opp. to
_tabulæ_ and _picturæ_. Sal. Cat. 11. Cic. Orat. i. 35. Man. 14. Suet.
Cæs. 47. Quintil. ix. 2. Cic. Verr. iv. 1; +simulacrum+ means the sacred
statue of a god, like ἄγαλμα; +statua+, the profane statue of a man,
like ἀνδριάς. Cic. Cat. iii. 8. _Simulacra_ deorum immortalium depulsa
sunt et _statuæ_ veterum hominum dejectæ. Tac. Ann. i. 73. Suet. Tib.
26. Cic. Verr. i. 22. Legati deorum _simulacra_ venerabantur, itemque
cætera _signa_ et ornamenta lacrimantes intuebantur. (v. 237.)

IMBER, see _Pluvia_.

IMITATIO; ÆMULATIO; CERTATIO; RIVALITAS; SIMULATIO. 1. +Imitari+ means
merely the effort to produce something like some other thing, without
any accessory moral notion; +æmulari+ (from αἴσιμος) means, at the same
time, to do something which shall gain equal or superior consideration,
honor, and approbation, when compared with the thing imitated.
+Imitatio+ has in view only the thing itself, and is generally moderate
and laudable; +æmulatio+ has in view chiefly the person, who is already
in possession of the quality worthy of imitation, and always seems more
or less a passion, which deserves praise or blame, according as it has
its foundation in the lover of honor, or in immoderate ambition. Plin.
Ep. vii. 30. Demosthenis orationem habui in manibus, non ut _æmularer_
(improbum enim ac pæne furiosum) at tamen _imitarer_ ac sequerer tantum.
Comp. i. 2, 2. viii. 5, 13. Quintil. i. 2, 26. Cic. Tusc. iv. 8, 17. 2.
The +æmulus+ is at first behind his opponent, and strives for a time
only to come up to him, and be like him; whereas the +certator+ and
+concertator+ are already on a par with their opponent, and strive to
outdo him, and conquer him. 3. +Æmulatio+ contends for superiority in
any art; +rivalitas+, only for preference in estimation. Cic. Tusc.
iv. 26, 56. Illa vitiosa _æmulatione_, quæ _rivalitati_ similis est,
quid habet utilitatis? 4. +Imitatio+ is an effort to become something
which a man at present is not, but fain would be, and really can become;
whereas +simulatio+, an effort to pass for something which a man
properly and naturally is not, nor ever can be. +Imitatio+ is the means
of attaining to an actual or presumptive ideal; whereas +simulatio+
remains for ever a mere counterfeit. (iii. 64.)

IMPAR, see _Æquus_.

IMPENSÆ, see _Sumptus_.

IMPERARE, see _Jubere_.

IMPERTIRE; TRIBUERE; PARTICIPARE; COMMUNICARE. +Impertire+ and
+tribuere+ denote giving a portion, without reference to any share,
which the giver is to retain for himself; +impertire+ means giving, as
an act of free will and of goodness; +tribuere+, as an act of justice,
or of judiciousness; whereas +participare+ and +communicare+, the giving
a share of something of which one also retains a share one’s self;
+participare+ has generally the receiver for its object, who is to share
a possession; but +communicare+, generally the thing shared, in the use
of which the receiver is to have a share. (iv. 158.)

the parts, that is, the basis, or the lowest in a discrete magnitude,
that is, a magnitude consisting of distinct parts. The _imum_ is the
lowest extremity of a part; then the _infimum_, the lowest part, with
reference to the other parts. Cic. Rosc. Com. 7. Ab _imis_ unguibus
usque ad summum verticem: compare with Divin. i. 33. Ut ab _infima_ ara
subito anguis emergeret; and with N. D. ii. 20. Luna _infima_ est
quinque errantium. Further, +imus+ denotes the lowest in a purely local
relation; +infimus+, with the accessory notion of the lowest rank.
(iv. 377.)

INAMBULARE, see _Ambulare_.

INANIS; VACUUS. +Inanis+ (from ἰνάω) means the emptiness of that which
has been full, but is now without its contents, in opp. to _plenus_,
Cic. Orat. i. 9, 37. Parad. 6, 1. Brut. 8, 34; whereas +vacuus+ denotes
the emptiness of that which may be filled, but is at present vacant, in
opp. to _occupatus_, Tac. Hist. iv. 17; or to _obsessus_, Cic. N. T.
i. 24. Tac. Ann. vi. 34. Jason post avectam Medeam genitosque ex ea
liberos _inanem_ mox regiam Æetæ _vacuosque_ Colchos repetivit; that is,
the palace deserted and desolate, and the people without a governor.
Figuratively, +inane+ means a nullity; +vacuum+, a vacancy. (i. 100.)

INCIPERE; ORDIRI; INCHOARE; CŒPISSE. 1. +Incipere+ denotes the
beginning, in opp. to the state of rest, which precedes and follows,
consequently it is in opp. to _cessare_ and _desinere_, _desistere_,
_finire_; whereas +ordiri+ (from ἔρδειν, radix,) in opp. to an
advancement; consequently in opp. to _continuare_, and its intransitive

nearly the same words in opp. to it as _incipere_ has; Sen. Cons. Polyb.
20. Quicquid _cœpit_, et desinit. Cic. Rab. Post. 2. Ovid, Ep. ix. 23;
+cœpi+ refers more to the action which is begun; +incepi+, more to the
beginning which has been made. +Cœpi+ is a sort of auxiliary verb;
+incepi+ is emphatic; hence +cœpi+ has an infinitive, +incipere+ a
substantive, for its object. Cic. Verr. v. 10. Quum ver esse _cœperat_
(sed cum rosam viderat, tum ver _incipere_ arbitrabatur), dabat se
labori. (iii. 157.)

INCITARE; INSTIGARE; IRRITARE; INSTINCTUS. 1. +Incitare+ (from ciere)

INFITIARI, INFITIAS IRE, see _Negare_.

INFLAMMARE, see _Accendere_.

INFORTUNIUM; CALAMITAS; INFELICITAS; MISERIA. +Infortunium+ and
+calamitas+ denote a single misfortune; +infortunium+, more as a
vexatious accident, like malheur, for example, the loss of a purse,
receiving blows, etc.; +calamitas+ (from κολούω) a tragic accident, as
the loss of a beloved person, of power, etc.; whereas +infelicitas+ and

+infelicitas+, merely as the absence of success; +miseria+ (from
μυσαρός?) as an actual, pressing state of affliction.

INGENIUM; NATURA; INDOLES. +Ingenium+ and +natura+ denote the
disposition, as far as it constitutes the immovable ground of human
individuality, and is susceptible of no change; +ingenium+, more with
reference to the faculties of the mind, +natura+ to the feelings of the
heart; whereas +indoles+ denotes the disposition, as far as it
constitutes only the beginning of individuality, and is susceptible of
improvement. (vi. 172.)

INGLUVIES, see _Faux_.

INGREDI, see _Inire_ and _Ire_.

INGRUERE, see _Irruere_.

INIMICITIA, see _Odium_.

INIMICUS, see _Adversarius_.

INIRE; INTRARE; INTROIRE; INGREDI. 1. +Inire+ denotes almost always only
a figurative entering, as to engage in any thing, for example, _inire
pugnam_, _numerum_, etc.; whereas +intrare+, +introire+, +ingredi+, a
literal entering; +intrare+ is usually transitive, as to enter, and has
an emphasis on the verbal part of the word; whereas +introire+ is
intransitive, as to step in, and has an emphasis on the adverbial part
of the word. In the phrase _intrare curiam_ one thinks more of the mere
threshold, which is to be stepped over; in the phrase _introire_ one
thinks more of the four walls by which one is to be enclosed.
2. +Intrare+ and +introire+ suppose a space distinctly limited by walls,
boundaries, marks; whereas +ingredi+ supposes, generally, any limited
space, for example, _viam_, _pontem_, etc. (iv. 521.)

INITIUM; PRINCIPIUM; PRIMORDIUM. 1. +Initium+ denotes the beginning in
an abstract sense, as the mere point from which a thing begins, in opp.
to _exitus_. Cic. Rosc. Com. 13, 39. Tusc. i. 38. Brut. 34. Sen. Ep. 9.
N. Q. iii. 29; whereas +principium+ denotes the beginning as a concrete
notion, as that part of the whole which stands before the other parts in
things, and goes before them in actions, in opp. to _extremum_. Cic.
Cleunt. 4. Orat. 61, 204. Cæc. 15, 44. In _initium_ the beginning is
made only with reference to time; in _principium_ the foundation also is
laid with reference to space. The _initium_ is pushed out of the way by
that which follows; the _principium_ serves as a basis for that which
follows. The _initia philosophiæ_ are the rudiments over which the
scholar goes, and which are superseded by further studies; the
_principia_ are the fundamental principles, to which he must always
recur. +Initio+ usually means “at the beginning, but differently (or,
not at all) afterwards;” whereas +principio+ means from the very
beginning, and so onwards. 2. +Primordium+ is a more solemn and
comprehensive term than _principium_, and supposes a whole of great
extent, the beginning of which is so far removed that one can
distinguish a merely apparent beginning from the actual and primeval
source and origin. (iii. 163.)

INJURIA, see _Contumelia_.

INNOCENTIA, see _Virtus_.

INNUMERUS; INNUMERABILIS. +Innumerus+ is a poetical and choice

INSTITUERE; INSTAURARE; RESTITUERE; RESTAURARE. +Instituere+ means to
establish a profane, +instaurare+, a sacred, or honorable, or generally
important institution, such as sacrifices, sacred games, wars and
battles. Hence is _instituere_ itself a usual, _instaurare_, a solemn,
select expression. In the same manner _restituere_ is distinguished from
_restaurare_. (iv. 300.)

tradition. Sen. Ir. iii. 13. Quidni gauderet, quod iram suam multi
_intelligerent_, nemo _sentiret_? Cic. N. D. iii. 24. Quare autem in his
vis deorum insit, tum _intelligam_ quum _cognovero_. (vi. 175.)

+interpellatio+ and +interlocutio+ are only the interruption of a speech
by speaking between; the _interpellator_ will nearly prevent the speaker
from going on; the _interlocutor_ will make himself also heard in the
midst of another’s speech. (vi. 176.)

INTERDICERE, see _Vetare_.

INTERDIU, see _Dies_.

INTERDUM, see _Nonnunquam_.

INTEREA; INTERIM. +Interea+ refers to a business of some duration, which
takes place in a space of time, as in the mean time; +interim+, to a
momentary business, as in the midst of this. They have the same relation
to each other, as a point of time to a space of time. Cic. Quint. 6. Hæc
dum Romæ geruntur . . . Quintius _interea_ de agro detruditur; that is,
gradually; comp. with Fam. x. 12. _Interim_ ad me venit Manutius noster.
Tac. Ann. xi. 32. Non rumor _interea_, sed undique nuntii incedunt . . .
Atque _interim_ Ostiensem viam intrat. (iv. 271.)

most general expressions for putting to death, in whatever manner, and
from whatever motive, _fame_, _veneno_, _suspendio_, _ferro_,
_suppliciis_, _dolo_, like κτείνειν; but +interficere+ as a usual,
+perimere+ as an old, forcible, poetical expression. +Interimere+
involves the accessory notion of privacy, as to remove out of the way;
ἀναιρεῖν; +necare+, that of injustice, or, at least, cruelty, to murder,
φονεύειν. Cic. Tusc. v. 20. Dionysius alterum jussit _interfici_, quia
viam demonstravisset _interimendi_ sui. Curt. ix. 7, 8. Boxum protinus
placuit _interfici_; Biconem etiam per cruciatus _necari_.
2. +Occidere+, +jugulare+, +trucidare+, +obtruncare+, +percutere+,
denote a sanguinary death-blow; +occidere+ means by cutting down,
especially the business of the soldier in honorable open battle;
+jugulare+, by cutting the throat or neck, or rather by a
skilfully-directed thrust into the collar-bone, especially the business
of the bandit, after the pattern of the gladiator, like σφᾶξαι;
+obtruncare+ means to butcher, massacre, and cut to pieces, after the
manner of the awkward murderer; +trucidare+, to slaughter as one would a
steer, after the manner of the blood-thirsty miscreant, who, without
meeting with resistance, plays the hero on the defenceless; +percutere+,
to execute, as a mere mechanical act, after the manner of the headsman,
or other executioner of a sentence of condemnation, or, at least, of a
death-warrant. Senec. Contr. iii. 21. Nec dominum _occidit_, nec domino
venenum dedit. Hor. Ep. i. 2. Ut _jugulent_ hominem, surgunt de nocte
latrones. Sallust. Fr. Cæteri vice pecorum _obtruncantur_; so that you
may see a mangled mass of limbs, as in the heap of slain in a battle.
Tac. Hist. . . . Juberet _interfici_; offerre se corpora iræ;
_trucidaret_. Cic. Cat. iv. 6. and Rosc. Am. 34. Cujus consilio
_occisus_ sit invenio; cujus manu _percussus_ sit non invenio.
(iii. 181.)

INVENIRE; REPERIRE; DEPREHENDERE; NANCISCI; ADIPISCI; CONSEQUI; ASSEQUI.
+Invenire+ denotes, as a general term, to find; +reperire+ and
+deprehendere+ suppose a previous concealment of the thing found, and an
intention, and pains employed on the part of the finder; but the
_reperiens_ (from πεπαρεῖν) merely discovers what was concealed, and now
lies before his eyes, like ἀνευρεῖν; the _deprehendens_, what desired to
hide itself, or to escape, and now is in his power. Tac. Ann. i. 74.
Perniciem aliis ac postremo sibi _invenere_: comp. with xiv. 3. Cædes
quonam modo occultaretur nemo _reperit_. 2. +Invenire+, +reperire+,
+deprehendere+, imply a concealed object, which is discovered; whereas
+nancisci+, +adipisci+, +assequi+, and +consequi+, only a distant
object, which is reached; the _nanciscens_ (from ἐνεγκέσθαι) arrives at
his object with or without trouble, sometimes even against his wish, as
to light upon; the _adipiscens_ (from potiri) only by exertion, as to
achieve; the _consequens_ arrives at the object of his wish with or
without assistance; the _assequens_, at the object of his endeavors, by
means of exertion. Suet. Tib. 10. Titus ad primam statim mansionem
febrim _nactus_: comp. with Dom. 15. Nero in _adipiscenda_ morte manu
Epaphroditi adjutus est. Cic. Att. x. 12. _Nactus_ Curionem omnia me
_consecutum_ putavi. Rosc. Com. 4. Ut neque nihil neque tantum quantum
postulavimus _consequamur_. In Cic. Mil. 11. Nihil dico quid resp.
_consecuta_ sit, nihil quod vos, nihil quod omnes boni; namely, by the
death of Clodius, to which certainly nobody but Milo had contributed;
_assecuta sit_ could not be substituted; and, on the other hand, in Sen.
Brev. 17. Operose _assequuntur_ quæ volunt, anxii tenent quæ _assecuti_
sunt; the word _consequuntur_ would be too weak. Cic. Fam. i. 7, 10.
Omnia quæ ne per populum quidem sine seditione _assequi_ arbitrabantur,
per senatum _consecuti_ sunt. (iii. 142.)

INVERTERE, see _Vertere_.

INVESTIGARE, s. _Quærere_.

INVICEM, see _Vicissim_.

INVIDIA; LIVOR; INVIDENTIA; MALIGNITAS; OBTRECTATIO; DETRECTATIO.
+Invidia+ denotes looking askance, as a sign that a man grudges
something to another, from moral or immoral motives, not _necessarily_,
though especially, from self-love, like ὑποψία; whereas +livor+ (from
χλεύη, or χλοιά), denotes the self-tormenting envy, which poisons the
whole soul, and deprives the body itself of its fresh healthy color.
2. +Invidia+ is the usual term for envy, whether active, as that which a
man harbors, or passive, as a state in which a man stands; whereas
+invidentia+ is a new term of Cicero’s for the envy which a man harbors.
3. +Invidia+ and +livor+ denote envy as a temporary state, whereas
+malignitas+ as an habitual quality and disposition, in opp. to goodness
of heart. The _invidus_ and _lividus_ grudge particular persons
particular advantages, in particular cases; but the _malignus_ wishes
well to nobody but himself. 4. +Invidia+, +livor+, +malignitas+, denote
a feeling and state of mind, whereas +obtrectatio+ denotes an action, or
manner of acting, proceeding from this feeling, inasmuch as it seeks to
injure the envied person by dishonorable means, namely, detraction.
_Obtrectatio_ can scarcely be conceived as existing without _invidia_,
but _invidia_ may without _obtrectatio_, if the envious person is too
cowardly to enter into conflict with the envied. 5. +Obtrectatio+
supposes a rival, and has its origin in jealousy; whereas +detrectatio+
only an enemy in general, and proceeds principally from antipathy.
(iii. 65.)

of the will, like ἰέναι; but +meare+ (from ἀμεύω) especially to beasts,
ships, rivers, stars, as mere mechanical motion, in which reason has no
share, like φοιτᾶν; whereas +gradiri+ and +ingredi+, +incedere+ and
+vadere+, with particular accessory notions in regard to the manner of
going; +gradiri+ and +ingredi+, in a quiet manner, and with a regular
measured step, in opp. to _serpere_, _currere_, _stare_; Cic. N. D.
ii. 47. Att. ii. 23, like βαδίζειν; +incedere+, in a proud manner, and
with a graceful measured step, as in a procession and march, in opp. to
_ambulare_; Sen. N. Q. vii. 31, like ἐμβαίνειν; and +vadere+ (ἐλθεῖν?)
with alacrity and a quick step, as in travelling, and in attacking the
enemy, in opp. to repere? like χωρεῖν; Thuc. v. 70. 2. +Ingressus+ means
going in general; +incessus+ a manner of going peculiar to the
individual, and by which he is known as well as by his physiognomy.

being void of reason and of will makes; +via+, the path on which a
person goes, in a concrete sense. Hor. Od. iii. 2, 22. Virtus negata
tentat _iter via_. Cic. Att. v. 14. _Iter_ conficiebamus æstuosa et
pulverulenta _via_. 2. +Iter+ in a concrete sense, denotes a way which
leads directly to a particular point, whether beaten and trodden, or
not, like κέλευθος; whereas +via+ (from the old word veha, way), a way,
which, if not beaten, is the ordinary and usual way, like ὁδός. Cæs.
B. G. vi. 27, means by _viarum atque itinerum duces_, the guides, who
partly point out the frequented roads and paths, partly give information
as to where they lead out. 3. +Via+ and +iter+ may be narrow or wide;
whereas, +trames+, +callis+, and +semita+, denote only a narrow way or
path; +trames+ (τρῆμα) a by-road in a plain and town, by which one may
arrive, partly in a shorter time, partly without being so much observed

calles_; and Curt. vii. 11, 2. (iv. 64.)

Justin. xxi. 4, 6. Hoc consilio præventus _iterum_ servitia concitat,

feeling denoted by _lacrimare_, and of the feeling of grief denoted by

hair, and grown up, and gives an unpleasant impression of deficiency.

LAMBERE; LINGERE. +Lambere+ means to lick, inasmuch as one uses the
tongue, like the hand, as an instrument to take hold of, or to touch
anything, whether eatable, and possessing a taste, or not; +lingere+
(λείχειν) when one uses the tongue as the organ of the sense of taste,
in order to ascertain the flavor of any thing. Plin. H. N. xxxv. 7.
Canem ex ære vulnus suum _lambentem_; compare with xxxi. 4. Pecoribus
saldatur _lingendus_. (v. 152.)

end of a rope; whereas +funis+ and +restis+ mean the rope itself;
+funis+, a thicker rope, which is meant more for drawing and pulling,
and on that account must have a proper length, like σχοῖνος; +restis+, a
thinner rope, which serves more for fastening and hanging up, and
therefore may be short, like σπάρτη. The trace by which the _equus
funalis_ is attached; the rope on which the _funambulus_ balances
himself; the tow which draws the boat to the ship, are never rendered in
prose by _restis_: whereas the rope with which the self-murderer hangs
himself, or the slave is whipped, or the garment girded, is seldom
rendered by _funis_, unless the poet gives the preference to the last
word as a more elevated term. (v. 36.) 2. +Rudentes+ are the sail ropes;
+retinacula+, and +oræ+, the cables or anchor-ropes; +retinacula+, as a
more general and popular term; +oræ+, +oras+, +solvere+, as more
technical expressions in nautical language.

LARGUS; BENIGNUS; LIBERALIS; MUNIFICUS. +Largus+ means any one who makes
a rich present, to whomever he makes it, and from whatever motive, in
opp. to _parcus_. Ter. Heaut. iii. 1, 31; whereas +benignus+,
+liberalis+, and +munificus+, denote virtuous qualities in the giver.
The _benignus_ follows a pure impulse of humanity, love towards his
fellow men; the _liberalis_, a noble pride, or feeling of self-respect;
the _munificus_, a princely feeling, or, at any rate, a feeling of
laudable ambition. _Benignitas_ gives richly, because it has no wish to
possess and enjoy alone, like goodness; _liberalitas_ gives as much as,
and not less than, a man of noble sentiment believes suitable to his own
rank and to another’s merits, without scrupulous mercantile calculation,
like a gentlemanly spirit; _munificentia_ gives rather too much than too
little, from the pleasure of making people happy, and causing an
agreeable surprise, like generosity. (iv. 146.)

+facetiæ+, and +festivitas+, denote the harmless wit, which, like humor,
is only opposed to seriousness, and is the attribute of a benevolent
mind; +lepos+ (from λέπω, λεπτός,) the lightest wit, in opp. to dull
gravity; +festivitas+ (from σπαθᾶν) the more cheerful sort of wit, in
opp. to gloomy seriousness; +facetiæ+, the jocund wit, in opp. to sober
seriousness; whereas +sales+, +dicacitas+, and +cavillatio+, denote the
more pungent wit, which is a sign of an acute intellect; +sales+ (ἅλες)
the piquant wit, in opp. to what is flat and trivial, which aims at a
point, whether others may be pleasantly or painfully affected by it;

cost of others, yet so that the jest is still the principal aim,--the
pain inflicted, only an accidental adjunct; +cavillatio+, the scoffing
wit, in which the mortification of others is the principal aim, the jest
only a means and unimportant form. Cic. Orat. 30. Demosthenes non tam

majoris artis. (v. 21).

Suet. Cæs. 75; +libertinus+, with reference to his rank, in opp. to
_civis_ and _ingenuus_. Liv. x. 21. xli. 8. Suet. Cl. 54. Senec. Contr.
iii. 21. Quærendus mihi gener erat aliquis _libertinus_; quid ergo?
alieno potius _liberto_? Cic. Verr. i. 47. Trebonius fecit heredem
_libertum_ suum . . . Equiti Romano _libertinus_ homo fit heres. Suet.
Cl. 25. Tac. H. iii. 58. (vi. 194.)

LIBIDO, see _Cupido_.

LIBRA; PONDO. +Libra pondo+ is the full expression, literally a balance
in weight, that is, a scale, filled so as to balance a pound; +libra+
(λεῖος) is a less definite expression, inasmuch as leaving out the
_pondo_, makes it doubtful whether the balance itself be not understood;
+pondo+ is an elliptical expression, in which the principal notion,
weight, is expressed, and the accessory notion left out; the scale that
is filled must balance the definite weight. In a similar manner _operæ
pretium est_, is distinguished from _operæ est_, and from _pretium est_.
(vi. 195.)

LIBRARE; VIBRARE. +Librare hastam+ (from λεῖος) means to raise the spear
in a horizontal direction, in order to hurl it with greater force, and
with a surer aim; +vibrare+ (ὑφή) to brandish it backwards and forwards,
or up and down, that is, either in a horizontal or perpendicular

uncultivated people, gens or natio, in as far as they possess proper
words to express their notions; whereas +sermo+, only the speech of a
cultivated people, populus, in as far as it is adapted for the
expression of connected thoughts. +Lingua+ is, like the tongue, born
with us, and refers more to the mere gift of speech; +sermo+ requires
voluntary activity, and involves the rules of grammar and of style. Cic.
Fin. i. 3, 10. Sæpe disserui Latinam _linguam_ non modo non inopem, sed
locupletiorem etiam esse quam Græcam: comp. with Off. i. 31. _Sermone_
debemus uti eo, qui notus est nobis. (iv. 22.)

a letter; +epistola+ is one directed to a distant friend, and sent by a
messenger; +codicilli+, an address to one within the same walls, as a
note. Sen. Ep. 55. Adeo tecum sum ut dubitem an incipiam non _epistolas_
sed _codicillos_ tibi scribere. Cic. Fam. vi. 18. Simul accepi a Seleuco
tuo _literas_; statim quæsivi e Balbo per _codicillos_ quid esset in
lege. (vi. 198.)

LITERÆ; ARTES; DOCTRINÆ; DISCIPLINÆ. +Literæ+ and +artes+ denote the
sciences as the general objects of scientific education; +literæ+, in a
narrower sense, only as literature, or the sciences so far as they are
laid down in books, and, together with other branches of knowledge,
enrich the mind, and are the means of sharpening the understanding and
forming the taste, +artes+ (ἀρεταί?) in the widest sense, so far as the
knowledge of them immediately attests intellectual cultivation, and
readiness in the practical application of the sciences; whereas

RADIARE. 1. +Lucere+, +fulgere+, +splendere+, +nitere+, denote a steady
and continued brightness; +fulgere+ (φλογεῖν) through a glaring light,
or a dazzling fiery color, like φλέγω, +lucere+ (from λευκός) through a
beneficial light, and a soft fiery color, like φαίνω, φέγγω; +splendere+
(from φάλανθος) as the consequence of a clear and pure light, in opp. to

i. 84. Suet. Aug. 35; like λάμπω; +nitere+ (from νίζω) as the

unsteady, tremulous light; +coruscare+ (from κορύσσω) to shine like
forked lightning; +micare+, to sparkle, like metal placed in the sun;
+radiare+, to beam, like the shooting rays of the sun. Cic. Cat. ii. 3.
qui _nitent_ unguentis, qui _fulgent_ purpura. Auct. ad Herenn. iv. 33.
Tantus erat in armis _splendor_, ut solis _fulgor_ obscurior videretur.
Plin. H. N. xxxvii. 2. _Splendor_ murrhinis sine viribus: _nitor_que
verius quam _splendor_; for _splendor_ denotes brightness, with regard
to its intensity; _nitor_, with regard to its beauty. Auct. ad Herenn.
iv. 50. Gemmæ _nitore_ et auri _splendore_: hence, figuratively,
+splendor+ denotes pomp; +nitor+, only neatness. (ii. 76.)

LUCERNA, see _Candela_.

LUCRUM; EMOLUMENTUM; QUÆSTUS; COMPENDIUM. +Lucrum+ and +emolumentum+
denote gain, in any condition of life; +lucrum+ (from lucar, locare,)
gain deserved and earned by one’s self, in opp. to _damnum_; Cic. Fin.
v. 30, etc.; like κέρδος; +emolumentum+ (from molere) gain falling to
one’s share without any exertion of one’s own, in opp. to _detrimentum_;
Cic. Fin. i. 16, like ὠφέλημα; whereas +quæstus+ and +compendium+ denote
gain in the course of trade; +quæstus+, rather the steadily continued
gains of a regular occupation, _earnings_, in opp. to _sumptus_; Cic.

not shun the light, synonymously with _probabilis_; whereas +illustris+
(from λεύσσω) what makes itself seen, attracts the eye, and spreads its
rays, synonymously with _excellens_. Hence _luculentus_ never implies
emphatic praise. Cic. Off. iii. 14, 60. Hoc quidem satis _luculente_,
that is, it is probable enough. And Fin. ii. 5, 15. Cum Græce ut videor
_luculenter_ sciam, without presumption; just like, sic satis. (ii. 84.)

LUCUS, see _Silva_.

LUDIO, see _Actor_.

LUDUS; SCHOLA. +Ludus+ is a lower school for boys, who are compelled to
learn; +schola+, a higher school for youths and men, who wish to learn.
+Ludus+ supposes _discipulos_, _ludi-magistrum_, and school-discipline;
+schola+ supposes _auditores_, _doctorem_, and academical regulations.
(vi. 203.)

LUDUS; LUSUS; LUDICRUM; JOCUS. 1. +Ludus+ (from λοίδορος) denotes play
in an objective sense, inasmuch as it is at hand for a man’s
entertainment; whereas +lusus+, in a subjective sense, inasmuch as a man
carries it on and produces it himself; further, +ludus+ denotes play, as
a means of recreation, in opp. to exertion; +lusus+, as a childish,
useless pastime, in opp. to real business. Plin. Ep. ix. 33. 3. Pueri
quos otium _ludus_que sollicitat: comp. with ix. 25. _Lusus_ et ineptias
nostras legis. Or, Cic. Flacc. 5, 12. Græci quibus jusjurandum _jocus_
est, testimonium _ludus_; that is, to whom it is a mere trifle to bear
false witness; compare with Sen. Contr. i. 2. Piratas . . . quibus omne
fas nefasque _lusus_ est; that is, to whom the distinction between right
and wrong is a mere sporting with words. 2. The plur. +ludi+ assumes the
special meaning of public spectacles, and in this sense has a singular
peculiar to itself in the word _ludicrum_. 3. +Ludus+ and +lusus+ have
more a negative character, as mere pastimes and amusements, as a guard
against ennui; whereas +jocus+ more a positive character, as an
utterance of humor and wit. The _ludens_ wishes merely to be free from
exertion, to do nothing serious, and to amuse himself; the _jocans_ will
be as active at the command of mirth, as others at the command of
seriousness. (ii. 33.)

LUES; CONTAGIUM; PESTILENTIA; PESTIS; PERNICIES; EXITIUM; INTERITUS;
EXITUS. 1. +Lues+ (from λοιμός) denotes epidemic disease, as proceeding
from an impure morbid matter; +contagium+ (from contingere? or
κατατήκειν?) as contagious; +pestilentia+, as a disease reigning in the
land, and especially as a pestilence. Sall. Cat. 10. Post ubi _contagia_
quasi _pestilentia_ invasit. Plin. H. N. xxiii. 28. Laurus folia
_pestilentiæ contagia_ prohibent. Lucan. vi. 86. Fluidæ _contagia_
pestis. 2. +Pestis+ is used for pestilence itself only by the poets;
otherwise it denotes, like _exitium_ and _pernicies_ (from necare), that
which destroys in general, without reference to disease; but +pestis+
is, according to rule, used as a concrete, +exitium+ and +pernicies+ as
abstract terms. Sen. N. Q. iii. pr. Philippi aut Alexandri . . . . qui
_exitio_ gentium clari non minores fuere _pestes_ mortalium quam
inundatio. 3. +Pernicies+ has an active meaning, and denotes the
destruction of a living being by murder; whereas +exitium+ has a passive
meaning, and denotes the destruction even of lifeless objects by
annihilation; lastly, +interitus+ has, like _exitus_, a neutral meaning,
the destruction of living or lifeless objects by decay. Tac. Ann.
xiv. 65. Poppæa non nisi in _perniciem_ uxoris nupta; postremo crimen
omni _exitio_ gravius: and ii. 68. Cic. Cat. iv. 3. Cum de _pernicie_
populi Romani, _exitio_ hujus urbis cogitarit. Rull. ii. 4, 10. Extremi
_exitiorum exitus_. 4. +Exitium+ is a violent, +exitus+ a natural end.
Cic. Rull. ii. 4, 10. Qui civitatum afflictarum perditis jam rebus
extremi _exitiorum_ solent esse _exitus_, is, as it were, the last
breath of a state that is being destroyed; like Verr. v. 6, 12 _Exitus_
exitiales. (ii. 62. iii. 176.)

LUMEN; LUX. +Lumen+ (λευσσόμενον) is a luminous body, like φέγγος; +lux+
(λευκή) a streaming mass of light, like φάος. Cic. Fin. iii. 14, 45. Ut
obscuratur et offunditur _luce_ solis _lumen_ lucernæ. Curt. viii. 2,
21. Sed aditus specus accipit _lucem_; interiora nisi allato _lumine_
obscura sunt. Cic. Acad. iv. 8, 28. Si ista vera sunt, ratio omnis
tollitur quasi quædam _lux lumen_que vitæ; that is, reason alone is in
itself bright and light, and at the same time spreads brightness and
light over life. Also, in a figurative sense, +lumen+ denotes
distinction, +lux+ only clearness. Cicero (Man. 5.) calls Corinth,
Græciæ totius _lumen_, but Rome (Catil. iv. 6.) _Lucem_ orbis terrarum;
Corinth is compared to a glimmering point of light; Rome is
distinguished as that city in comparison with which all other cities lie
in darkness. (ii. 66.)

the streets or roads, like πηλός; +limus+ (λειβόμενος) the mud of a
river, like ἰλύς; +cœnum+ (from cunire) the mire of a moor or morass,
like βόρβορος. Tac. Ann. i. 63. Cætera _limosa_, tenacia gravi _cœno_
aut rivis incerta erant; whereas +sordes+, +squalor+, +pœdor+, +situs+,
denote impurities as a form, and of a dry sort; +sodes+ (from ἄρδα) in
opp. to _splendor_, through indigence, or niggardliness and vulgarity,
for example, clothes dirty from long wear, like ῥύπος; +squalor+ (from
σκέλλω) in opp. to _nitor_, through want of civilized habits, and of
delicacy in the senses, for example uncombed hair, like αὐχμός; +pædor+
(from ψοῖθος) in opp. to _munditiæ_, through neglect of the person, for
example, through _pædiculos_, vermin, itch, etc., like πίνος; +situs+

of sordidus, squalidus, pædidus, that is, resembling sordes, etc., and
in circumlocution, _oblitus luto_, _limo_, _cœno_, but _obsitus_,

animal excrements.

LUXUS; LUXURIA. +Luxus+ denotes luxury as an act or as a condition, and
sometimes even objectively, as an object of luxury; whereas +luxuria+,
always subjectively, as a propensity and disposition, as the
desiderative of _luxus_. Sen. Ir. i. 11. Animis delicias, _luxus_, opes
ignorantibus: and further on; Opinionem _luxuriæ_ segnitiæque. Sall.
Cat. 13. Romani famem aut sitim . . . . _luxu_ antecapere; that is, by
the arts of luxury: compare with Jug. 90. _Luxuria_ atque ignavia
pessimæ artes: that is, as proceeding from voluptuousness. (ii. 23.)

MAMMA; MAMILLA; UBER; PAPILLA. 1. +Mamma+ and +uber+ denote the breast
in the female body; +mamma+ (μάμμη) denotes the visible breast as a
fleshy part of the body, particularly of a female body; whereas +uber+
(οὐαρόν) the nourishing breast as filled with milk, which is only found
in the female body, like οὖθαρ. 2. +Papilla+ and +mamilla+ denote the
nipples of the breast, common to the male and female; +papilla+ (redupl.
of πάλλα) with reference to their spherical shape, without distinction
of the sexes, like μαζός; +mamilla+ (redupl. from ἀμέλγω) with reference
to their adaptation for suckling, and therefore belonging only to the
female sex, like τίτθη, and teats. (iv. 133.)

MANARE, see _Fluere_.

MANCIPARE, see _Vendere_.

MANCIPIUM, see _Servus_.

MANDARE, see _Jubere_.

MANE; CREPUSCULO; DILUCULO. +Mane+ (from μηνύειν) denotes in the
morning, in the early course of the bright day, in opp. to the night,
and the forenoon hours, like ὄρθρῳ; +crepusculo+ (from creperus, κρύψαι)
in the twilight, in opp. to the bright day; +diluculo+, in the twilight,
in opp. to the dark night, like λυκόφως.

MANERE; MORARI; TARDARE; DETINERE. 1. +Manere+ (from μένειν) denotes
remaining, in opp. to going away; whereas +morari+ (from βραδύς) denotes
tarrying, as an interruption of motion, in opp. to going forwards. Cic.
Sen. 23. _Commorandi_ natura deversorium nobis, non habitandi dedit.
Hence in Tac. H. ii. 48. Irent propere neu _remanendo_ iram victoris
asperarent,--the reading _remorando_ deserves the preference.
2. +Morari+ _aliquem_ means, to prevail upon any one to stay of his own
free will by proposing conditions, like διατρίβειν; +tardare+, to
prevent a person’s hastening on his way by opposing difficulties, like
βραδύνειν; +detinere+, to hinder him from going forwards by force, like
κατέχειν. +Tardare+ has generally an action for its object[2];
+detinere+, a person; +morari+, either. (iii. 298.)

    [Footnote 2: [But: _nos_ Etesiæ valde _tardarunt_.]]

MANERE; EXSPECTARE; PRÆSTOLARI; OPPERIRI. 1. +Manere+ (from μένειν)
denotes a mere physical act to remain in a place, till something has
happened; whereas +exspectare+, +præstolari+, and +opperiri+, denote a
mental act, to wait for, to wait in conscious expectation of some event,
or of some person. 2. +Exspectare+ denotes waiting for, almost as a mere
mental act, as a feeling, without practical reference or accessory
meaning; whereas +præstolari+ and +opperiri+, with the accessory notion
that the person waiting intends, after the arrival of the object waited
for, to do something. 3. The +præstolans+ (from παραστέλλεσθαι) waits
for a person in order to perform services for him; the +opperiens+, for
an occurrence, in order not to be taken by surprise. The +præstolans+
stands in subordinate relation to the person waited for; the
+opperiens+, in co-ordinate, whether as friend or foe. Lastly,
+præstolari+ is a prose expression; +opperiri+, a poetical, or at least,
a select expression. For the German distinction between _warten_ and
_harren_, the former denoting calm, passionless waiting for, the latter,
eager, impatient longing for, the Latins have no correspondent
synonymes. (iii. 57.)

MANES, see _Spectrum_.

MANICÆ, see _Vincula_.

MANIFESTO, see _Aperire_.

MANNUS, see _Equus_.

MANSUETUDO; CLEMENTIA. +Mansuetudo+ (from manui suetus) is the mildness
and magnanimity of a private individual, who does not take vengeance for
a mortification suffered, in opp. to _iracundia_; whereas +clementia+
(from ἀκαλός, κηλεῖν, and mens,) the mercifulness and humanity of the
ruler, or the judge, who does not inflict upon the malefactor the
punishment which he deserves, in opp. to _crudelitas_. Sen. Clem. 2.
Cic. Lig. 3. Att. viii. 9. Plin. Pan. 3. (v. 11.)

MANSUETUS, see _Cicur_.

MANUBIÆ, see _Præda_.

MARE; ÆQUOR; PONTUS; PELAGUS. 1. +Mare+ (from μύρω) denotes the sea, as
a mass of water, in opp. to _terra_ and _aër_, like ἅλς, θάλασσα;
+æquor+, +pelagus+, and +pontus+, with reference to its dimensions;
+æquor+ and +pelagus+, with reference to its horizontal dimension, the
surface of the sea, like πέλαγος, whence πελαγίζειν, to float on the
sea; +pontus+ (from πεσεῖν, πίτνειν,) with reference to its
perpendicular dimension, the depth of the sea, like πόντος, whence
ποντίζειν, to sink into the sea. Colum. viii. 17. Ut in solo piscinæ
posita libella septem pedibus sublimius esset _maris æquor_. Ovid, Met.
ii. 872. Mediique per _æquora ponti_ fert prædam. 2. +Æquor+ (from
æquus) denotes the surface of the sea in a merely physical sense;
whereas +pelagus+ (from πλάξ) with the accessory notion of its great
extent and immensity. (iv. 72.)

MARGO; ORA. +Margo+ (ἀμέργων) denotes the brink, the natural boundary of
a surface, considered almost as a mere mathematical line, and only
improperly as including an exterior portion of the surface; whereas
+ora+ (ὤα, οὖρος, ὅρος) denotes the brim, or border, the artificial
edging of a surface, generally for the sake of ornament, and therefore
necessarily including a certain portion of the surface. Hence we say,
_ora togæ_, but not _margo_; and, on the other hand, _margo fluminis_
and _ripæ_, if the mere line of shore is meant, without any portion of
the bank. (iii. 212.)

MARITA, see _Femina_.

MAS, see _Homo_.

MATRIMONIUM, see _Conjugium_.

MAXILLA, see _Mala_.

MEARE, see _Ire_.

MEDERI; MEDICARI; SANARE; MEDICAMEN; MEDICINA; REMEDIUM. 1. +Mederi+ and
the poetical word +medicari+ (μέδειν) denote healing, as the act of the
physician, who heals with humane sympathy, judgment, and art,
synonymously with _curare_, like ἰᾶσθαι; +sanare+, as the effect of the
physic, which in a mechanical way makes the sick well again,
synonymously with _restituere_, like ἀκεῖσθαι. 2. +Medicamentum+ means a
remedy, with reference to its material substance, as it is prepared by
the apothecary, like φάρμακον; +medicina+, with reference to its healing
virtues, as ordered by the physician; each with reference to an illness;
whereas +remedium+ denotes a remedy for any of the evils to which we are
subject, like ἄκος. Cic. N. D. ii. 53. _Medicamentorum_ salutarium
plenissimæ terræ: comp. with Divin. ii. 51. Quam a medico petere
_medicinam_. (v. 198.)

MEDITARI, see _Cogitare_.

MEDIUS; MODICUS; MEDIOCRIS. +Medius+ μέσος is purely local, in the
middle, in opp. to the extremes; +modicus+ denotes quantity, with
reference to number and magnitude, as moderate, in opp. to over-measure;
+mediocris+ denotes quality, with reference to worth, as middling, in
opp. to distinction; hence _modicæ facultates_ and _mediocre ingenium_
are identical. Cic. Rep. ii. 31. Haud _mediocris_ vir fuit, qui _modica_
libertate populo data facilius tenuit auctoritatem principum. (v. 202.)

MEDIUS DIES, see _Meridies_.

MEMBRUM; ARTUS. +Membrum+ (redupl. of μέρος) denotes a limb of the body
itself, like μέλος and κῶλον; whereas +artus+ (ῥέθος, ἄρθρον,) properly
only a joint of a limb, like ἄρθρον and ἅψος. Senec. Contr. ii. 13.
Differebatur distortis _articulis_; nondum in sua _membra artus_
redierant. Virg. Æn. v. 422. Magnos _artus membrorum_. Quintil. Decl.
ult. Ut per singulos _artus membra_ laxaret. Further, +membra+ denotes
the limbs collectively, including the head and trunk, as parts of the
body; whereas +artus+ only the extremities, which _per commissuras_ with
the body, properly so called, namely, the head and trunk, hang together.
Gell. N. A. i. 14. (iv. 150.)

MEMINISSE; REMINISCI; RECORDARI. +Meminisse+ denotes remembrance as a
state of mind, like μεμνῆσθαι, in as far as one has retained something
in memory, without ever having forgotten it, like _memorem esse_;
whereas +reminisci+ and +recordari+ denote remembrance as an act of the
mind, in as far as one again brings to one’s mind what had already been
driven out of one’s thoughts, like ἀναμιμνήσκεσθαι. But +reminisci+
denotes this act of the mind as momentary, like _in memoriam revocare_;
whereas +recordari+ denotes it as of some duration, like _revocata in
memoriam contemplari_. Cic. Lig. 12, 35. Equidem, cum tuis omnibus
negotiis interessem, _memoria teneo_, qualis T. Ligarius, quæstor
urbanus, fuerit erga te et dignitatem tuam; sed parum est, me hoc
_meminisse_; spero etiam te, qui oblivisci nihil soles, nisi injurias,
quoniam hoc est animi, quoniam etiam ingenii tui, te aliquid de hujus
illo quæstorio officio cogitantem, etiam de aliis quibusdam quæstoribus
_reminiscentem recordari_. This passage shows, that _memoria tenere_ is
only a circumlocution for _meminisse_: there is another passage where
_recordari_ is employed as the consequence of _reminisci_, but there is
no instance of the converse; for _reminisci_ and _recordari_ have the
same relation to each other as _intueri_ and _conspicere_. Cic. Sen. 21.
Pueri . . . . ita celeriter res innumerabiles arripiunt, ut eas non tum
primum accipere videantur, sed _reminisci_ et _recordari_: he might have
added, Quæ non satis _meminerint_, sed in aliquantum temporis obliti
sint. Tusc. i. 24, 58. Animus, quum se collegit atque recreavit, tum
agnoscit illa _reminiscendo_; ita nihil aliud est discere, quam
_recordari_. Senec. Ep. 100. Magis _reminiscor_ quam teneo. (i. 166.)

MENDA, MENDUM, see _Vitium_.

MENDICITAS, see _Paupertas_.

MENS, see _Anima_.

MERACUS, see _Purus_.

MERCARI, see _Emere_.

MERCENARII; OPERARII; OPERÆ. +Mercenarii+ mean laborers as far as they
work, not for their own interest, but for pay, in opp. to the
proprietor, who hires their services; whereas +operarii+ and +operæ+, as
far as they undertake to perform for others, a mere mechanical work, in
opp. to the principal or director, who gives out the plan. +Mercenarii+
refer to the motive; +operarii+, to the art employed being of an
inferior sort. (vi. 217.)

MERCES, see _Præmium_.

MERCIMONIUM, see _Merx_.

MERDA, see _Lutum_.

MERERE; DIGNUM ESSE; MERERI. 1. +Merere+ and +Mereri+ (μείρεσθαι)
suppose an activity, as to deserve; whereas +dignum esse+ (from _decet_,
δίκη,) only a quality, as to be worthy. 2. +Merere+ is usually a
transitive verb, as to deserve, and is in construction with an
accusative, or with a sentence, as its complement; whereas +mereri+, an
intransitive verb, as to be deserving, and is in construction with an
adverb. Cic. Rosc. Com. 15. Fructum, quem _meruerunt_, retribuam: comp.
with Catil. ii. 2, 4. Si illum, ut erat _meritus_, morte mulctassem.
Cæs. B. G. vi. 5, with B. Civ. iii. 53. Suet. Cal. 40, with Aug. 56.
3. +Merere+ as an intransitive, or without an object, denotes to serve
as a warrior, by the ellipsis of _stipendia_; whereas +mereri+ as a
transitive, or with an object, means to earn something for one’s self,
without any stress being laid upon the worthiness. (v. 213.)

MERETRIX, see _Pellex_.

MERIDIES; MEDIUS DIES. +Meridies+ denotes noon, as a point of time,
which separates the forenoon from the afternoon; +medius dies+, the
middle of the day, as a space of time which lies between the morning and
the evening.

MERUS, see _Purus_.

MERX; MERCIMONIUM. +Merx+ means wares, in as far as they are already
wrought up, as an article of trade; +mercimonium+, in as far as they can
become so, like the materials of wares. Tac. A. xi. 5. Nec quidquam
publicæ _mercis_ tam venale fuit: comp. with xv. 38. _Mercimonium_ quo
flamma alitur.

METIRI; METARI; DIMETIRI; DIMETARI. 1. +Metiri+ means to measure a space
in order to know its magnitude; whereas +metari+, to mark the boundaries
of the space that has been measured, that they may be known to others.
2. By +dimetiri+ and +dimetari+, the measuring and marking out of
sub-divisions is especially meant; wherefore _metari castra_ refers
merely to the whole circumference of the entrenchments; when, therefore,
Liv. viii. 38. uses the phrase _locum castris dimetari_, it is evident
of itself that he expressly means, to mark the boundaries of the
_principia_ and of the _prætorium_, etc., that are within the camp.
(ii. 169.)

METUERE, see _Vereri_.

MICARE, see _Lucere_.

MINIME, see _Neutiquam_.

MINISTER, see _Servus_.

MINUTUS, see _Parvus_.

[_Mirari_ is indifferent: _admirari_ usually involves praise, _demirari_
blame.]

MISERERI; MISERARI; MISERET ME. +Misereri+ means to feel pity in the
heart, to compassionate, like ἐλεεῖν; whereas +miserari+, to express
pity in words, to commiserate, like οἰκτείρειν. For the German word
_erbarmen_, to show pity by actions, the Latins have no separate word.
2. By +misereor tui+, pity is represented as an act of the free-will,
and thereby the noble nature of the compassionate is depicted; whereas
by +miseret me tui+, pity is represented as a suffering, which cannot be
resisted, whereby all moral merit is taken away, and the greatness of
another’s misfortune more strongly expressed. +Miserere+ is a causative,
like οἰκτίζειν. (ii. 171.)

MISERIA, see _Infortunium_.

MISSILE; HASTA; LANCEA; JACULUM; VERUTUM; TRAGULUM; PILUM. +Missile+ is
the most general name for a weapon used in fighting at a distance, from
the spear to the arrow; +hasta+ and +lancea+ serve both for thrusting
and hurling; +hasta+ (from σχαστήριον, σχάζω,) as a genuine Roman
weapon, δορύ; +lancea+, as a foreign weapon, supposed to have come
originally from the Suevi, λόγχη; +pilum+, +jaculum+, +verutum+, are
more for hurling; +jaculum+, as the most general expression, including
the hunting spear, βέλος; +verutum+ (from ὀρυχή) and +tragulum+ (τρώγλη)
military weapons for hurling, ἄκων; +pilum+ (from πῆλαι) in the
singular, as the peculiar weapon for hurling used by the Roman legion.
Liv. ix. 19. Romano _pilum_ haud paulo quam _hasta_ vehementius ictu
_missu_que telum.

MITIS; LENIS; PLACIDUS. +Mitis+ means mild, in opp. to _acerbus_, like
μείλιχος; +lenis+ (from lana? or from the Goth, latjan, lassus?) gentle,
in opp. to _vehemens_, like πρᾶος; +placidus+, composed, in opp. to
_turbidus_, like ἤπιος.

MITTERE; LEGARE; AMITTERE; DIMITTERE; OMITTERE. 1. +Mittere+ μεθεῖναι is
the general expression, to send; +legare+ (from λέγω) has a special
political meaning, to delegate. The _missus_ makes his appearance as a
servant or messenger; the _legatus_, as a representative. 2. +Amittere+
and +dimittere+ mean to let go any thing already in one’s possession;
+amittere+, against one’s will, as to lose; +dimittere+, after having
used it, as to dismiss; whereas +omittere+ means to let anything pass
by, without taking possession of it; to speak with precision, _Amittimus
inviti et casu, omittimus volentes et sponte_. Hence _amittere
occasionem_ means, to let slip an opportunity, so as not to be able to
take advantage of it, from negligence; whereas _omittere occasionem_
means, to renounce an opportunity, so as not to wish to take advantage
of it, from attaching little value to it. _Vitam amittere_ means, to
lose one’s life; _vitam omittere_, to sacrifice it. (iii. 285.)

MODERATUS, MODESTIA, see _Modus_.

MODICUS, see _Medius_.

MODO-MODO; NUNC-NUNC. +Modo-modo+ is properly applicable only to
transactions of the past and of the future; +nunc-nunc+ only to those of
the present. This distinction is neglected, yet +nunc-nunc+ gives a
livelier color to description, and belongs to poetry, or to the more
elevated style of prose; +modo-modo+, like ‘just now,’ is the proper
prose expression, which Cicero always uses. (iv. 276.)

MODO, see _Nuper_.

MODUS; MODESTIA; MODERATIO; TEMPERATIO; CONTINENTIA; ABSTINENTIA.
1. +Modus+, in a moral sense, denotes the μέτριον, or the included
notion of the μηδὲν ἄγαν in objective relation; +modestia+ and
+moderatio+, in subjective relation; +Modestia+ is the feeling of
preference for this _modus_; +moderatio+, the habit of acting in
conformity to this feeling. 2. +Moderatio+ is moderation, as springing
from the understanding, from calculation and reflection, akin to
_prudentia_; +temperatio+ and +temperantia+ are qualities pervading the
whole man, and ennobling his whole being, akin to _sapientia_.
+Moderatio+ supposes, like self-government, a conflict between the
passions and reason, in which reason comes off conqueror; in
+temperatio+, as in tranquillity of mind, the reason is already in
possession of superiority, whether through nature or moral worth.
3. +Temperatus+, +temperatio+, denote merely a laudable property, which
may belong even to things; whereas +temperans+, +temperantia+, a virtue
of which reasonable beings alone are capable. 4. +Moderatio+ denotes
moderation in _action_, in opp. to _cupiditas_; whereas +continentia+,
moderation in enjoyment, in opp. to _libido_, Cic. Cat. ii. 11, 25.
Verr. iv. 52. 5. +Continentia+ denotes command over sensual desires,
continence; +abstinentia+, over the desire for that which belongs to
another, firm integrity; the translation of _abstinentia_ by
‘disinterestedness,’ is not precise enough, for this virtue is required
by morality only, _abstinentia_, by _law_ also. Quintil. v. 10, 89. Cic.
Sext. 16. 6. +Modestia+ shuns overstepping the right measure, out of
regard to the morals which the _modus_ prescribes; whereas +verecundia+
and +reverentia+ out of regard to persons, whom the _verecundus_ is
afraid of displeasing, and whom the _reverens_ thinks worthy of respect;
lastly, +pudor+, out of self-respect, that one may not bring one’s self
into contempt. Varro, ap. Non. Non te tui saltem _pudet_, si nihil mei
_revereare_. Terent. Phorm. i. 5, 3. or ii. 1, 3. Non simultatem meam
_revereri_? Saltem _pudere_? (ii. 203.)

MŒNIA, see _Murus_.

MŒSTITIA, see _Dolor_.

MOLES; ONUS; PONDUS; GRAVITAS. +Moles+ and +onus+ denote the heaviness
of an object in its disadvantageous sense; +moles+ (from μῶλος or
μόχλος) absolutely, as unwieldiness, so far as through its greatness it
is inconvenient to move, like ὄγκος; +onus+, relatively to its pressure,
so far as it is irksome to the person carrying it, as a burden, φόρτος;
whereas +pondus+ (from pendere) in an advantageous sense, as force and
strength, like weight, ἄχθος; lastly, +gravitas+ (from γεραός) unites
both senses, and sometimes denotes the irksome heaviness, sometimes the
effective weightiness, like βάρος. (iv. 223.)

MOLESTIA, see _Labor_.

MOLIRI, see _Audere_.

MONERE, see _Hortari_.

MONETA, see _Pecunia_.

MONS; JUGUM. +Mons+ (from minari, eminere,) denotes the mountain with
reference to its dimension of height; whereas +jugum+, with reference to
its breadth and length, sometimes as the uppermost ridge, which,
according as it is flat or pointed, is with yet greater precision called
either _dorsum_ or _cacumen_, in opp. to _radices montis_; sometimes as
a range of mountains, particularly in an ascending direction, by which
several mountains become joined, so as to form a chain, or pile of
mountains, in opp. to the mountain itself. Liv. xxii. 18. Sub _jugo
montis_ prœlium fuit: comp. with xli. 18. Petilius adversus Balistæ et
Leti _jugum_, quod eos _montes_ perpetuo _dorso_ conjungit, castra
habuit. Or, Tac. G. 10, with 43, and Agr. 10. Or, Virg. Ecl. v. 76, with
Ovid, Met. iv. 657. (v. 225.)

MORIGERARI, see _Parere_.

MOROSUS, see _Austerus_.

MORS; LETUM; NEX; OBITUS; INTERITUS; PERIRE; OPPETERE; DEMORI;
INTERMORI; EMORI. 1. +Mors+ and +letum+ denote a natural death; +mors+
(μόρος) the usual expression in a merely physical sense, as the way to
corruption, like θάνατος; +letum+ (from λαχεῖν, λάχεσις,) the select and
solemn expression, as the lot of death, like οἶτος; whereas +nex+ (from
νεκρός) a violent death, as the passive of _cædes_. 2. +Mors+, +letum+,
+nex+, are proper, whereas +obitus+ and +interitus+ only softer,
expressions. +Obitus+, decease, denotes, like _exitus_, a natural death;
whereas +interitus+, together with +perire+, usually denotes, like
_exitium_, a violent death. Plin. Ep. iii. 7. Silius ultimus ex
Neronianis consularibus _obiit_, quo consule Nero _periit_. Plaut. Epid.
iii. 4, 56. Malo cruciatu _pereas_, atque _obeas_ cito. 3. +Perire+
represents death as destruction and corruption; +interire+ as a
vanishing, so that the former applies more to the body, the latter to
the soul. Plaut. Capt. iii. 5, 32. Qui per virtutem _periit_, at non
_interit_; that is, he who dies a noble death, though his body perishes,
still lives in name and posthumous renown. Further, +perire+ denotes a
sudden and violent death, particularly by self-murder; +interire+, a
gradual and painful, but, it may be, also a peaceful, death. Tac. Ann.
xv. 44. Et _pereuntibus_ Christianis addita ludibria, ut ferarum tergis
contecti laniatu canum _interirent_. Serv. ap. Cic. Fam. iv. 5. Si quis
nostrum _interiit_, aut occisus est. 4. +Obire mortem+ denotes to die,
as a physical event, by which one ends all suffering; whereas +oppetere
mortem+ denotes to die, as a moral act, in as far as a man, if he does
not seek death, at any rate awaits it with firmness and contempt of it.
5. +Demori+ denotes to die off, as one belonging to a society, and
thereby to occasion a vacancy; +intermori+, to be apparently dying, to
be sick of a lingering disease, like ἐκθανεῖν; +emori+, to die entirely,
in opp. to a mere semblance of life in misfortune, slavery, and
disgrace, like πανδίκως θανεῖν. Cic. Pis. 7. Ut _emori_ potius quam
servire præstaret. (iii. 182.)

MOS, see _Consuetudo_.

MOSTELLUM, see _Spectrum_.

MUCRO, see _Acies_.

MULCARE, see _Verberare_.

MULCERE; PALPARE. +Mulcere+ (μύλλειν, μαλακός) means to stroke any thing
in itself rough, as the hair, for instance, in order to make it smooth;
thence, figuratively, to pacify an enraged person, like καταψῆν; whereas
+palpare+ (ψηλαφᾶν, ἁπαλός,) to stroke any thing already smooth, in
order to excite a pleasant sensation; thence, figuratively, to caress
and coax, like ψηλαφᾶν. (v. 109.)

μείρω,) denotes any sort of wall, merely with reference to its form,
without reference to its use, like τεῖχος; +paries+ (πείρω) especially a
wall, as the side of a building, or as a partition to separate the
rooms, like τοῖχος; +mœnia+ (ἀμύνω) the walls of a city, as a defence
against the enemy, like περίβολος? +maceria+, the wall of an enclosure,
to mark the boundaries and to exclude thieves, the garden or vineyard
wall, like θριγκός. Virg. Æn. vi. 549. _Mœnia_ lata videt triplici
circumdata _muro_. And Flor. i. 4. Vitruv. viii. 4. Tac. Ann. xv. 43.
Nero instituit, ut urbis domus non communione _parietum_, sed propriis
quæque _muris_ ambirentur. 2. +Muri+, +mœnia+, etc., are walls in a good
condition; +parietinæ+, walls that are falling into ruins. 3. +Mœnia+
denote walls as a defence of a city against a first assault;
+munimenta+, the proper fortifications of fortresses and camps, which
are of themselves a bulwark against being taken by storm. (v. 350.)

MUTILARE; TRUNCARE. +Mutilare+ denotes smaller mutilations, such as the
breaking off of horns, the cutting off of a finger, the nose, etc.;
+truncare+ denotes greater mutilations, such as the chopping off of
arms, feet, hands. The _mutilata membra_ may be compared to twigs and
shoots broken off; the _truncata membra_, to principal branches chopped
off. (iv. 325.)

are boats which may be manned and armed for service in war; +scapha+,
+cymba+, and +linter+, are only skiffs and wherries, intended merely for
short distances and for crossing over; +scapha+ and +cymba+, of the
broader sort, in the form of small barges; +linter+, long and narrow,
like a canoe. (vi. 232.)

NECESSARIUS; PROPINQUUS; COGNATUS; CONSANGUINEUS; AFFINIS.
1. +Necessarius+ means any one to whom one is bound by a permanent

connection, a relation, like ἀγχιστεῖς and ἔται, as a species of

by blood existing among members of the same family, like σύναιμος;
+consanguinitas+, the relationship of nations by derivation from a
common origin, like συγγενής. Cæs. B. G. vii. 32. Hominem summæ potentiæ
et magnæ _cognationis_: comp. with i. 11. Ambarri necessarii et
_consanguinei_ Æquorum. Liv. vii. 9. Suet. Cl. 25. Justin, xviii. 5.
(v. 179.)

NECESSE EST; OPORTET; OPUS EST; DEBERE. 1. +Necesse est+ (ἀναγκάζω)
denotes an obligation of nature and necessity, like ἀνάγκη ἐστίν;
+oportet+, an obligation of morality and of honor, like χρή; +opus est+
(πόθος, optare?) an obligation of prudence, like δεῖ. Cic. Orat. ii. 25.
Jure omnia defenduntur quæ sunt ejus generis, ut aut _oportuerit_ aut
licuerit aut _necesse fuerit_. Att. iv. 6. Si loquor de republica quod
_oportet_, insanus; si, quod _opus est_, servus existimor. And xiii. 25.
Cat. ap. Sen. Ep. 94. Emo non quod _opus est_, sed quod _necesse est_;
quod non _opus est_, asse carum est. And Cic. Or. ii. 43. 2. +Oportet+
denotes objectively, the moral claim which is made upon any man;
+debere+ (δεύεσθαι, δεῖν? or, dehibere?) subjectively, the moral

NEGARE; INFITIARI; INFITIAS IRE; DENEGARE; PERNEGARE; RECUSARE; ABNUERE;
RENUERE; REPUDIARE. 1. +Negare+ means to deny, from objective motives,
when a man has, or professes to have, the truth in view, like ἀποφάναι,
οὐ φάναι; whereas +infiteri+, +infitiari+, and +infitias ire+, mean to
disown from subjective motives, when personal interest is in some way
implicated, like ἀρνεῖσθαι. 2. +Infiteri+ is an obsolete expression;
+infitiari+ (ἀνα-φατίζειν,) the usual and general expression; +infitias+
(ἀμφασίας) +ire+ is only connected with a negation, and answers to the
phrase, not to assent to. 3. +Negatio+ is a denial, merely conveying
information to the hearer; +pernegatio+, or +negitatio+, to convince
him, when he is incredulous; +denegatio+, to get rid of his importunity,
when his request is useless. Martial, Ep. iv. 82. _Negare_ jussi,
_pernegare_ non jussi. Cic. Phil. xi. 8, 19. In quo maximum nobis onus
imposuit, assensero; ambitionem induxero in curiam; _negaro_; videbor
suffragio meo tanquam comitiis honorem amicissimo _denegasse_.
4. +Negare+ supposes a question only, whether actual or possible, which
is denied; whereas +recusare+, a request which is refused; hence
+negare+ is a more general and mild expression than _recusare_; for the
_negans_ merely denies the possibility of granting what he is asked or
requested; whereas the _recusans_ also calls in question the justice of
the request, which he protests against as a threat, or as an
encroachment. Hence +negare+, +denegare+, are more used in private
transactions; +recusare+, in public affairs. 5. +Negare+ and +recusare+
take place by means of words and speeches; +abnuere+ and +renuere+,
mostly by signs and gestures; +abnuere+, by waving a person from one
with the hand, like ἀπονεύω; +renuere+, by drawing back the head, like
ἀνανεύω. 6. +Abnuere+ is a more friendly, +renuere+ a haughtier manner
of denying. 7. +Recusare+ refers to an object which is considered as a
burden, and claims resignation, in opp. to _suscipere_, Suet. Ner. 3;
whereas +repudiare+ (from repedare?) refers to an object which is
considered as a good, and promises profit or pleasure, in opp. to
_assumere_. Cic. Orat. 62. Cic. Fin. i. 10, 33. Sæpe eveniet ut et
voluptates _repudiandæ_ sint, et molestia non _recusanda_. (iv. 40.)

_obscuritas_; +obscuritas+ than _opacum_ and _umbrosum_. Cic. Acad.
iv. 23, 72. Sensus quidem non _obscuros_ facit sed _tenebricosos_. Plin.

ODIUM; INVIDIA; INIMICITIA; SIMULTAS. 1. +Odium+ and +invidia+ denote
the feeling of aversion; +inimicitia+ and +simultas+, the exterior state
arising from this feeling. 2. +Invidia+ has a negative character, like
disaffection, like δύσνοια, and is a temporary feeling, in opp. to
_gratia_ or _favor_; whereas +odium+ (from ὀδύσασθαι) has a character
thoroughly positive, like hatred, μῖσος, and is a deep-rooted feeling,
in opp. to _amor_. Plin. Pan. 68, 7. Hence, +invidia+ is the beginning
of _odium_. +Invidia+ has merely persons; +odium+, persons and things
for its objects. Tac. Ann. ii. 56. Armenii . . . sæpius discordes sunt,
adversus Romanos _odio_, et in Parthum _invidia_. xiii. 15. Nero
intellecta _invidia odium_ intendit. Plin. Pan. 84, 2. Exardescit

this smell, or the sense of smell, in opp. to _gustus_, etc., like
ὄσφρησις. 2. +Olere+ means to smell, in opp. to being without smell, and

βρέχειν) denotes a good smell. +Redolere+ and +perolere+ are used as

sense; +perolere+, a penetrating smell, in a bad sense. 3. +Olfactus+ is
a smell, as far as it is an involuntary effect of the sense of smell;
+odoratus+, as far as it is an intentional exertion of that sense.
4. +Olfacere+, to smell, is of a passive nature, like _audire_, the
smell mounting up to the nose of itself; +odorari+, to smell at, to
sniff, ῥίνηλατεῖν, is of an active nature, like _auscultare_, the man
drawing up the smell into his nose of himself. _Olfaciens_ sentit
odorem, _odorans_ captat. 5. +Olidus+ denotes smelling, and particularly
with a bad smell; +odorus+, with a good smell. Hence, +bene olidus+
denotes merely the negative of a stench; +odorus+, a positive good
smell; and the antiquated word +olor+ denoted a stench, like _oletum_;
but +odor+ denotes only a smell. (iii. 131.)

be expressed by _orbis_. Tac. G. 6. Equi nec variare _gyros_ nostrum in

in order necessarily and by force to give the upper hand to their own
cause. Sall. Jug. 31. Inter bonos amicitia, inter malos _factio_ est.

PARTICEPS, see _Socius_.

PARTICIPARE, see _Impertire_.

PARTIRI, see _Dividere_.

PARUMPER; PAULISPER. +Parumper+ means in a short time; +paulisper+,
during a short time. Hence acts of the mind are particularly in
construction with _parumper_; acts of the body, with _paulisper_; for
with the former is necessarily connected the glance at the future, which
_lies_ in _parumper_; in _paulisper_, duration of time only is
considered; for example, we use the expression _paulisper morari_, but
_parumper dubitare_. (i. 145.)

PARVUS; MINUTUS; EXIGUUS; PUSILLUS. +Parvus+ and +minutus+ denote
littleness, quite indifferently, and in a purely mathematical sense,

father, and is derived from him, like paternal; whereas +patrius+, what
belongs to and is derived from one’s ancestors or native country, like
πάτριος.

PAULATIM; SENSIM; GRADATIM; PEDETENTIM. +Paulatim+ and +sensim+
represent gradual motion under the image of an imperceptible progress;
+paulatim+, by little and little, in opp. to _semel_, at once, Sen.
Q. N. ii. 8. Cœl. Aurel. Acut. ii. 37; +sensim+, (ἀνεσίμως)
imperceptibly in opp. to _repente_; Cic. Off. i. 33. Suet. Tib.
11;--whereas +gradatim+ and +pedetentim+, under the image of a
self-conscious progress; +gradatim+, step by step, like βάδην, in opp.
to _cursim_, _saltuatim_, etc.; whereas +pedetentim+ denotes at a foot’s
pace, in opp. to _curru_, _equo_, _volatu_, _velis_. (iii. 97.)

PAULISPER, see _Parumper_.

PAUPERTAS; INOPIA; EGESTAS; MENDICITAS. +Paupertas+ (redupl. of parum)
denotes poverty only as narrowness of means, in consequence of which one
must economize, in opp. to _dives_, Cic. Parad. 6. Quintil. v. 10, 26,
like πενία; whereas +inopia+ and +egestas+ denote galling poverty, in
consequence of which one suffers want, and has recourse to shifts;
+inopia+, like ἀπορία, objectively, as utterly without means, so that
one cannot help one’s self, in opp. to _copia_ or _opulentia_; Cic.
Parad. 6. Sen. Vit. B. 15. Tac. Hist. iii. 6; +egestas+, like ἔνδεια,
subjectively, as penury, when a man feels want, in opp. to _abundantia_;
lastly, +mendicitas+ (from μαδίζειν,) as absolute poverty, in
consequence of which one must beg, like πτωχεία. The _pauper_ possesses
little enough; the _inops_ and _egenus_, too little; the _mendicus_,
nothing at all. In the kingdom of Plutus, according to the order of
rank, the _pauperes_ would occupy the middle station, who must live the
life of citizens, and economize; the _inopes_ and _egeni_, if not in a
state of overwhelming necessity, would occupy the station of the poor,
who live from hand to mouth, and must occasionally starve; the
_mendici_, the station of the beggars, who, without property of any
sort, or the means of earning it, live on alms. Cic. Parad. 6. Istam
_paupertatem_ vel potius _egestatem_ et _mendicitatem_ tuam nunquam
obscure tulisti. Sen. Ep. 17. 50. Ovid, Rem. 748. Suet. Gr. 11. Vixit in
summa _pauperie_, et pæne _inopia_. Plin. Ep. iv. 18. _Inopia_ vel

to one man; +meretrix+, +scortum+, +lupa+, +prostibulum+, are common
prostitutes. 3. The +meretrices+ and +scorta+ are not _so low_ as
_lupæ_, _prostibula_. They exercise some choice and selection, and
support themselves by the work of their own hands, from which
_meretrices_ derive their name (from mereri); +meretrices+ are
considered with ref. to the _class_ they belong to; +scorta+ (κόρη,

temporary place of shelter from inconveniences; +refugium+ is a place of
shelter prepared, or at least thought of beforehand in case of a
retreat. 3. +Profugus+ denotes a merely physical state, something like
fugitive; +extorris+, a political state, like homeless, or without a

denotes that which is not true, objectively, with reference to the
object, as incorrect; whereas +falso+, subjectively, in reference to the

self-deceit; whereas +false+ and +fallaciter+ happens against better
knowledge and conscience; +false+, through fear and weakness of
character; +fallaciter+, like deceitfully, with the wicked intention of
deceiving and betraying. Comp. Tac. Ann. i. 1. Tiberii res . . . ob
metum _false_ compositæ sunt, according to Wolf’s reading; comp. with
Germ. 36. Inter impotentes et validos _falso_ quiescas. 3. The adjective

earnestness of character, formed by cultivation; whereas +pertinacia+
and +contumacia+ as a fault; +pertinacia+ has its foundation in a
stiff-necked adherence to what is once resolved upon, like obstinacy and
stubbornness, in opp. to condescension; +contumacia+ (from temere,
contemnere) in a haughty maintenance of one’s free-will, even against
proper and legitimate superiority,[3] like insolence and refractoriness,
in opp. to complaisance, _obsequium_. Tac. Ann. iv. 20. Hist. iv. 74.
Accius apud Non. Tu _pertinacem_ esse, Antiloche, hanc prædicas, ego
_pervicaciam_ esse aio et a me uti volo, etc. Cic. inv. ii. 54.

PETERE; ROGARE; POSTULARE; EXIGERE; POSCERE; FLAGITARE. 1. +Petere+ and
+rogare+ are the most general expressions for asking any thing, whether
as a request or as a demand, and stand therefore in the middle between
+poscere+ and +orare+, yet somewhat nearer to a request; +petere+ (from
ποθεῖν) generally refers to the object which is wished for; whereas
+rogare+ to the person who is applied to; hence we say, _petere aliquid
ab aliquo_, but _rogare aliquem aliquid_. Cic. Verr. * * Iste _petit_ a
rege, et cum pluribus verbis _rogat_, uti ad se mittat. Planc. 10, 25.
Phil. ii. 30. Fam. ix. 8. and ii. 6. Ne id quod _petat_, exigere magis
quam _rogare_ videatur. Pseudoquintil. Decl. 286. Curt. iv. 1, 8.
2. +Postulare+ and +exigere+ denote simply a demand, without any
enhancing accessory notion, as a quiet utterance of the will;
+postulare+ (diminutive of πόθος) more as a wish and will; +exigere+,
more as a just claim; whereas +poscere+ and +flagitare+, as an energetic
demand; +poscere+ (from πόθος) with decision, with a feeling of right or
power; +flagitare+, with importunity, in consequence of a passionate and
impatient eagerness. Tac. Hist. ii. 39. Othone per literas _flagitante_
ut maturarent, militibus ut imperator pugnæ adesset _poscentibus_;
plerique copias trans Padum agentes acciri _postulabant_. Cic. Verr.
iii. 34. Incipiunt _postulare, poscere_, minari. Planc. 19. _Poscere_
atque etiam flagitare crimen. Legg. i. 5. _Postulatur_ a te jamdiu vel
_flagitatur_ potius historia. (v. 230.)

against _modestia_ through wantonness, raillery, and needless attack;
the +procax+, through importunity and boisterous forwardness; the
+protervus+ (from proterere? or ταράξαι?) from impetuosity and haughty
recklessness; the +lascivus+, through unrestrained frolicksomeness and
inclination for play. Hence +petulantia+ has its foundation in aversion
to rest and quietness, or in the love of mischief; +procacitas+, in
assurance or complete impudence; +protervitas+, in a feeling of
strength, or in insolence; +lascivia+, in high spirits, or the want of

suffered. (vi. 269.)

of the body that is most without sensation and strength; thence,
figuratively, sluggish: whereas +opimus+ (from πιμελής) on its bright
side, as a sign of plenty and good living; thence, figuratively,
opulent. 2. +Obesus+ denotes fatness, on its dark side, with reference
to the unwieldiness connected with it, in opp. to _gracilis_, Cels.
i. 3. ii. 1. Suet. Dom. 18; whereas +corpulentus+, on its bright side,

opp. to in some measure, or almost; +penitus+, thoroughly, deeply, in
opp. to in a certain degree, or superficially, πάντως; +utique+ [related

thirsty ground absorbs, like ὑετός; +imber+ and +nimbus+ involve the
notion of an unfriendly phenomenon, which, falling in a particular
district, disperses the fine weather; +imber+ (ὄμβρος, from μύρω) so far
as the rain is attended by cold and stormy weather; +nimbus+ (from
_nivere_, νίφα, νίπτω) so far as it is attended with cloudy weather.
(ii. 88.)

with reference to its use; +poculum+, a usual cup for meals; +calix+, a
rarer chalice, or goblet, for feasts; whereas +scyphus+, +cantharus+,
+cymbium+, +culigna+, are foreign words, of Greek origin, denoting
particular sorts of cups, with reference to their form. 2. +Poculum+,
etc. all serve as drinking cups; whereas the old Roman word +simpuvium+,
and the modern +cyathus+, are ladles to fill the _pocula_ from the
_crater_, as with the punch-ladle we fill the punch-glasses from the
punch-bowl. (v. 318.)

POLLERE, see _Posse_.

POLLICERI; PROMITTERE; SPONDERE; RECIPERE. +Polliceri+ (from pro and
loqui, λακεῖν) means to promise, generally from a free impulse, and as
an act of obliging courtesy, like ἐπαγγέλλεσθαι; +promittere+, to
promise, generally, at the request of another, as an act of agreement,
and in reference to the fulfilment of the promise, like ὑπισχνεῖσθαι;
+spondere+ and +despondere+ (μετὰ σπονδῶν) to promise in a solemn
manner, as the consequence of a stipulation with judicially binding
strength, as to pledge one’s self, ἐγγυᾶν; +recipere+, to take upon
one’s self, and pass one’s word of honor, as an act of generosity,
inasmuch as one sets at ease the mind of a person in trouble, like
ἀναδέχεσθαι. The _pollicens_ makes agreeable offers, the _promittens_
opens secure prospects; the _spondens_ gives legal security; the
_recipiens_ removes anxiety from another. Cic. Att. xiii. 1. Quoniam de
æstate _polliceris_ vel potius _recipis_; for the _pollicens_ only
engages his good-will, the _recipiens_ undertakes to answer for
consequences. Sen. Ep. 19; Jam non _promittunt_ de te, sed _spondent_.
Cic. Fam. vii. 5. Neque minus ei prolixe de tua voluntate _promisi_,
quam eram solitus de mea _polliceri_; for with regard to Trebatius,
Cicero could only express his hope, with regard to himself he could
actually promise. (iv. 109.)

transitive; +posse+ (from πότνιος) denotes being able, as a consequence
of power and strength, like δύνασθαι; +quire+ (κοεῖν) as the consequence
of complete qualification, like οἷόν τ’ εἶναι. Cic. Tusc. ii. 27.
Barbari ferro decertare acerrime _possunt_, viriliter ægrotare non
_queunt_; whereas +valere+ and +pollere+ are intransitive. Hence we say,
_possum_ or _queo vincere_, but _valeo_ or _polleo ad vincendum_.
2. +Valere+ (from ἑλεῖν) means to possess the right measure of strength,
and thereby to match another, in opp. to insufficient strength, like

+robur+ denote an interior power and strength, independent of the
co-operation and good-will of others. +Potentia+ denotes a merely
factitious power, which can be exerted at will, like δύναμις;
+potentatus+, the exterior rank of the ruler, which is acknowledged by
those who are subject to him, like δυναστεία; +potestas+, a just and
lawful power, with which a person is entrusted, like ἐξουσία. Tac. Ann.
xiii. 19. Nihil tam fluxum est quam fama _potentiæ_ non sua _vi_ nixæ.
+Vis+ (ἴς) is the strength which shows itself in moving and attacking,
as an ability to constrain others, like κράτος; +robur+ (from ἐῤῥῶσθαι)
the strength which shows itself in remaining quiet, as an ability to
resist attack, and remain firm, like ῥώμη. (v. 83.)

POTESTAS, see _Occasio_.

PRÆBERE; EXHIBERE; PRÆSTARE; REPRESENTARE. +Præbere+ and +exhibere+
denote a voluntary act of the giver, by which a want or wish of the
receiver is satisfied; the _præbens_ (præhibens) is considered in
relation to the receiver, to whom he gives up what he himself before
possessed; the _exhibens_, in relation to the world at large, and
generally gives to him who has the best claim, what he himself before
possessed; whereas +præstare+ and +repræsentare+ denote an involuntary

the _præstans_ releases himself from an obligation by discharging it, in

booty only as a possession and gain that has been made by conquest;
whereas +spolia+ and +exuviæ+, at the same time, as signs of victory and
of honor. 2. +Præda+ denotes any sort of booty; whereas +manubiæ+ only
the honorable booty of the soldier, taken in war; and +rapina+, the
dishonorable booty of the _prædo_, who violates the peace of the
country, robbery. (iv. 337.) 3. +Prædo+ is the robber in general, in as
far as he commits the robbery with his own hands, like λῃστής, as a
species of _latro_ (from ὀλετήρ) the highwayman, who lays wait for
travellers, like σίνις, and _pirata_ (πειρατής) the sea-robber; whereas
+raptor+ means the robber of some particular person or thing, like
ἁρπακτήρ.

PRÆDICERE, see _Divinare_.

PRÆDITUS; INSTRUCTUS; EXSTRUCTUS; ORNATUS. 1. +Præditus+ (præ-θετός)
refers to a distinction which sheds lustre; +instructus+ and
+exstructus+ to a qualification which attests usefulness; +ornatus+
refers to both, for _ornamentum_ is not, on the one side, that which is
merely of use, like _instrumentum_, nor, on the other, that which is
merely for show, like _decus_, but that which is of such eminent utility
as to be prized even as an ornament. +Instructus+ paints the
qualification, etc., as a perfection which protects and secures;
+ornatus+, as an accomplishment of an imposing nature. It is only in a
higher point of view, and with reference to ideal claims, that _ornatus_
is considered as a want; but, according to ordinary pretensions, it
passes for a distinction of life. Cic. Phil. x. 4. Græcia copiis non
_instructa_ solum, sed etiam _ornata_. Sen. Tranq. 9. Sicut plerisque
libri non studiorum _instrumenta_, sed cœnationum _ornamenta_ sunt.
2. +Instructus+ refers to persons and things, which act either
offensively or defensively; +exstructus+ to things which are for the
most part only destined to be acted upon; for example, we say,
_instructæ naves_ but _exstructæ mensæ_. The _exstructa_ are absolutely
ready; the _instructa_ are only relatively so, only fully prepared to be

and iii. 3, 4. i. 2, 2. Vitruv. ii. 9, 14. Circa _ripam_ fluminis Padi
et _litora_ maris Adriatici. Colum. i. 5. Ovid, Met. i. 42. 2. +Litus+

the adjacent land, in opp. to the inland country; but +acta+ (ἀκτή) with
the accessory notion of being distinguishable by the senses, inasmuch as
the coast affords striking views and a pleasant residence. Liv. xxiv. 8.
Classem paravimus ut Africæ _oram_ popularemur, ut tuta nobis Italiæ
_litora_ essent. Plin. Ep. v. 6, 2. Gravis et pestilens _ora_ Tuscorum,

extensa_, Virg. G. ii. 44. Tac. Ann. ii. 78. Appul. Met. iv. p. 92.
Avian. Fab. xx. 10.--And Prudent. adv. Symm. iv. 136. Invenit expositum

ROBUSTUS, see _Validus_.

ROGARE; ORARE; OBSECRARE; OBTESTARI; PRECARI; SUPPLICARE. 1. +Rogare+
and +orare+ denote simply a request as the quiet utterance of a wish;
but the _rogans_ (ὀργᾶν, ὀρέγεσθαι) feels himself _al pari_, on a par
with the person whom he asks, and asks only a courtesy, like αἰτεῖν; the
_orans_ acknowledges the superiority of the other, and asks a benefit,
like δεῖσθαι; whereas +obsecrare+ and +obtestari+ denote a passionate
asking, as to conjure; but the _obsecrans_ asks urgently, like λιπαρεῖν;
the _obtestans_ (from θέσσασθαι) in a suppliant manner. Cic. Att.
xvi. 10. Igitur, mi Plance, _rogo_ te atque etiam _oro_. Pseudocic.
p. Red. 16. Pro mea vos salute non _rogavit_ solum, verum etiam
_obsecravit_. 2. +Precari+ denotes the calm act of prayer, in which one
raises one’s hand to heaven, like εύχεσθαι; but +supplicare+ denotes the
passionate act of supplication, in which one throws one’s self on one’s
knees, or on the ground, and wrings one’s hands, like ἱκετεύειν. By
hyperbole, however, +precor+ denotes any urgent request; +supplicare+,
any humble request, addressed to a human being. Cic. Parad. v. 3. Noctu
venire domum ad eum, _precari_, denique _supplicare_. (v. 232.)

ROGARE; INTERROGARE; PERCONTARI; SCISCITARI. +Rogare+, +interrogare+,
and +quærere+, denote a simple questioning; +rogare+ (ὀργᾶν, ὀρέγεσθαι),
as willing to know; +interrogare+, as wishing to know; whereas
+percontari+ and +sciscitari+ denote urgently asking; +percontari+ (from
γνῶναι) always from a desire of knowledge, with seriousness and
calmness; +sciscitari+ (redupl. of scitari) often from curiosity, with
inquisitiveness, eagerness, or also with cunning, like pumping or
ferreting out. (v. 125.)

ROGARE, see _Petere_.

RUDIS, see _Fustis_.

RUINA; STRAGES. +Ruina+ (from ῥεῦσαι is the falling down of things
raised one upon another, in consequence of the basis giving way; whereas
+strages+ is the throwing down of bodies standing upright, in
consequence of a push from without. Liv. iv. 33. _Strages ruinæ_
similis. (vi. 309.)

RUMOR; FAMA. +Rumor+ (from ῥεῦμα), like report, is the uncertain, dark,
often clandestine propagation of intelligence, in opp. to authentic
assurance; +fama+ (φήμη), like information, is the open and public
propagation of intelligence, in opp. to ocular demonstration. The
_rumor_ interests only by its novelty, is an object of curiosity, and
passes away with the generation in which it sprung up; the _fama_
interests through its importance, is an object of research, and as a
permanent property descends to posterity. (v. 233.)

RUMPERE, see _Frangere_.

RUPES, see _Saxum_.

RURSUS, see _Iterum_.

RUS, see _Villa_.

RUS; AGER; RUSTICUS; AGRESTIS; RUSTICANUS. 1. +Rus+ (ἄροτον) denotes the
country, in opp. to the town or city, the village with what belongs to
it; whereas +ager+ (ἀγρός) the country, in opp. to the district in
general, the open country or fields. Cels. Med. 1. Sanum oportet . . .
modo _ruri_ esse, modo in urbe, sæpiusque in _agro_. 2. +Rusticus+
denotes, like ἀγροῖκος, merely residing in the country; +agrestis+, like
ἄγριος, growing wild in the fields, like _ferus_, but as a milder
expression, for _ferus_ (φῆρες) denotes wildness as an inward nature;
+agrestis+, merely as a mark of the place of residence, or of
extraction. 3. In a spiritual sense, +rusticus+ denotes more an
intellectual, +agrestis+ more a moral roughness; +rusticus+, like
countrified, has a reference to bashfulness and uncouthness; in its best
sense, it is allied to innocence; in its worst, to awkwardness; whereas
+agrestis+, like boorish, has a reference to shamelessness and
vulgarity, is never used in a good sense, but borders on _feritas_, and
answers to the German word Flegelei, ‘churlishness.’ The _rusticus_, in
opp. to _urbanus_, violates only the conventional laws of decorum; the
_agrestis_, in opp. to _humanus_, the natural laws of decorum also. 4.
When Cicero wishes to give to _rusticus_ a still milder sense, and
secure it from ambiguity, he adopts the word _rusticanus_; so that,
according to him, +rusticus+ is one who actually lives in a
country-village, +rusticanus+, one who resembles those who live in
country-villages; hence among the _rusticani_ the _municipes_ may be
reckoned, as _rusticorum similes_.


S.

SABULO; HARENA; SABURA. +Sabulo+ (from ψαφαρός, ψῆφος,) and in Pliny
+sabulum+, denote sand, as a sort of light soil; +harena+, +arena+ (from
χεράς), as a dry stony soil, as small or pounded pebbles, in opp. to a
fruitful soil; +sabura+, +saburra+, with especial reference to its use,
as shipsand, ballast. (vi. 311.)

SACELLUM, see _Templum_.

SACER; SANCTUS. +Sacer+ (ἄγος) denotes that which is sacred, inasmuch as
it belongs to the gods, in opp. to +profanus+, like ἱερός; whereas
+sanctus+ (from ἁγνός) inasmuch as it is under the protection of the
gods, and, being guarded from profanation, is, in consequence, pure and
spotless, in opp. to _pollutus_, like ὅσιος. Hence +sanctus homo+ is a
pure, pious man; +sacer+, one accursed, devoted to the gods as an
expiatory sacrifice. In the same manner +sancire+ means to place under
the immediate protection of the gods, as laws and compacts, for example;
whereas +sacrare+ means to dedicate to the gods, as temples and altars,
for example. (iii. 198.)

SACRAMENTUM, see _Jusjurandum_.

SACRARE; CONSECRARE; DICARE; DEDICARE. +Sacrare+, +consecrare+, mean to
hallow, with reference to men, with regard to whom the profane use of a
thing is withdrawn and forbidden; +dicare+, +dedicare+ (from δέχεσθαι)
mean to dedicate with reference to the gods, to whom the thing is set
apart as their property. Hence +consecrare+ may be used in an absolute
sense, but +dedicare+ has always a reference to the new proprietors.

SÆPE; CREBRO; FREQUENTER; FREQUENTARE; CELEBRARE. 1. +Sæpe+ denotes
often, in opp. to _semel_, Suet. Ner. 33; _nonnunquam_, Cic. Or. 66;
_semper_, like πολλάκις; whereas +crebro+ and +frequenter+, in opp. to
_raro_, Rhet. ad Her. iv. 23. Cic. Or. 66; +crebro+, often, and in quick
succession, and rather too often than too seldom, like θαμά; but
+frequenter+ (partic. from farcire) often, and not too seldom; for in
general +creber+ denotes a multifarious assembly, inasmuch as it is
dense and crowded; whereas +frequens+, inasmuch as it is numerously
attended. Consequently, +frequens+ rather implies praise, like _largus_;
+creber+, blame, like _spissus_. And _frequentes senatores_ denote the
senate, when represented as complete; _crebri senatores_, as wanting
room on account of their number, and forced to sit close.
2. +Frequentare+ means to visit a place often, and not neglect it:
whereas +celebrare+, to visit it often, and thereby to enliven it, and
to fill it with festive sounds. (i. 17.)

SÆVITIA; CRUDELITAS. +Sævitia+ (from αἶ, αἰνός) denotes the
blood-thirsty cruelty of the tyrant, who acts like a ravenous beast,
that kills and tears its prey, in opp. to _mansuetudo_; whereas
+crudelitas+ (from κρύος, crudus) denotes the reckless cruelty of the
judge, who enforces the utmost rigor of the law, in opp. to _clementia_.

health as a temporary state, and are allied in sense with _integer_;
whereas +saluber+ and +validus+ denote habitual qualities, and are
allied in sense with _robustus_. Hence _salubris oratio_ means a speech
sound in matter, possessing original strength; _sana_, a temperate and
discreet speech. Cic. Brut. 13. 51. Tac. Dial. 25. Plin. Ep. ix. 26.
3. +Sanus+ and +saluber+ represent health, merely as finding one’s self
well; +valens+ and +validus+, as possessing strength to act.
4. +Saluber+ in a transitive sense means, what brings _sanitas_, in opp.
to _pestilens_, like ὑγιεινός; whereas +salutaris+, what brings _salus_,
in opp. to _pestiferus_, like σωτήριος. Cato, apud Plin. H. N. xviii. 6.
Nihil _salutare_ est nisi quod toto anno _salubre_. (i. 31.)

+integer+, like ἀσκηθής, denote being unhurt and untouched; +incolumis+

safety is assured by the senate not having had a hair touched. And,
i. 66. Verba Fabii _salutem incolumitatemque_ Viennensium commendantis;
_salus_ refers to being killed, _incolumitas_ to being plundered: comp.

with Rosc. Am. 7, 19. Ut _cruorem_ inimici quam recentissimum
ostenderet. Tac. Ann. xii. 46. Mox ubi _sanguis_ artus extremos
suffuderit, levi ictu _cruorem_ eliciunt atque invicem lambunt.

thing to, or into, his mouth; whereas the +gustans+ has the sense of the
effect of what he tastes, and is conscious of its flavor. Ovid, Amor.
i. 4, 34. Si tibi forte dabit, quæ _prægustaverit_ ipse, rejice

a sufficient measure, without any accessory reference; whereas +affatim+
and +abunde+ with the accessory notion of rather too much than too
little; +abunde+, like ἅλις, with an objective and absolute reference;
whereas +affatim+, like ἀφθόνως, in a subjective and relative sense.
A person may have worked _affatim_, according to his own opinion, and

therefore difficult to climb; +cautes+ and +scopuli+ are rough and
pointed, like crags, and therefore threaten danger; the +cautes+ are

denotes the stone only as a material substance, without regard to its
form, like λίθος; +calculus+, is a smooth, generally round pebble;
+scrupulus+, a rough, generally angular pebble; but for this meaning of
_scrupulus_, the dimin. of _scrupus_, we have only the authority of
grammarians; in authors it has only the figurative meaning of scruple.

_scelesta_ only by personification. In the like manner +nefarius+ and
+impius+ as applied to the impiety of the person who acts, only with
this distinction, that the _impius_ is impious only in mind, the
_nefarius_ in his actions also; whereas +nefandus+ refers to the
horrible enormity of an action. (ii. 149.)

accessory notion of arrangement.

SEPELIRE; CONDERE; HUMARE. +Sepelire+ and +condere+ denote complete
burial, the more or less solemn interment of the remains of a dead
person, with or without previous burning; +sepelire+ (Goth. filhan,
ἀσπάλαξ) as a proper and technical expression; +condere+ (καταθεῖναι) as
a general and softer expression; whereas +humare+ means depositing in
the earth, as the last part of burial, in opp. to _cremare_.

SERA; CLAUSTRUM; PESSULUS; REPAGULUM; OBEX. +Seræ+ and +claustra+ are
bolts; +sera+ (seruisse, εἴρειν) a movable bolt, that is put on the

jokes; +serius+, in a neutral sense, what is no subject for joking; and
+severe+ means earnestly; +serio+, in earnest; whence +severus+ is an
epithet for persons, +serius+ for things; Hor. A. P. 105. Decent vultum
_severum seria_ dictu. Senec. Tranq. 15. Nihil magnum, nihil _severum_
nec _serium_ quidem ex tanto apparatu putat. +Severus+ is in opp. to
_hilaris_, Cic. Brut. 93, _remissus_, Orat. ii. 17, _luxuriosus_,
Quintil. xi. 3, 74; whereas +serius+ is in opp. to _jucundus_,
_jocosus_; and +serio+ to _joco_, _per jocum_. Yet +severus+ also
supplies the place of _serius_; particularly in _severior_,
_severissimus_, and _severitas_, because _serius_ does not possess these
forms. (i. 75.)

SERMO; COLLOQUIUM; ORATIO. 1. +Sermo+ (εἰρόμενος) denotes a conversation
accidentally arising, or at least carried on without any fixed and
serious purpose; whereas +colloquium+, generally a conversation agreed
upon for a particular purpose, like a conference. 2. +Sermo+ is a
natural mode of speaking; +oratio+, a speech premeditated and prepared
according to the rules of art. The _sermo_ arises when, in ordinary
life, an individual speaks longer than usual, and continues speaking,
and is accidentally not interrupted; the _oratio_ has a definite extent
with an observable beginning, middle, and end, and in it the speaker
calculates upon not being interrupted. In the _sermo_, the language of
ordinary life predominates, whether in prose or verse, as in the comic
poets, and in the _Sermones_ of Horace; whereas in the _oratio_ the
language is select, and in conformity to the rules of rhetoric. Cic.
Orat. 16. Mollis est _oratio_ philosophorum et umbratilis . . . Itaque
_sermo_ potius quam _oratio_ dicitur. Tac. Hist. i. 19. Apud senatum non
comptior Galbæ, non longior . . . _sermo_; Pisonis comis _oratio_.
(iv. 23.)

ἀνδράποδον. 3. +Serva+ means a female slave, with especial reference to
her legal condition; +ancilla+, in ordinary life, as the feminine of
servus. +Servitus+ denotes slavery, quite indifferently, as a regular,
natural, legal state; whereas +servitium+, either with contempt or
compassion, as an irregular, compulsory, ignominious state. Most prose
writers, however, use _servitus_ merely as the abstract; _servitium_,
and especially _servitia_, as the concrete term for _servi_. (v. 136.)

(from tegere?) means to be silent, σιγᾶν, in opp. to _loqui_, _dicere_.
And the compound word +reticere+, if a man has something to say, and
keeps it to himself, in opp. to _eloqui_, _proloqui_; but +obticere+, if
a man does not speak to one who asks or expects an explanation, in opp.
to _respondere_. Cic. Harusp. 28. Sed tamen facile _tacentibus_ cæteris
_reticuissem_. 2. +Tacens+ and +tacitus+ denote being silent merely as a
temporary state; +tacens+ means any one who does not speak; +tacitus+,
one who, when an opportunity for speaking offers, purposely refrains,

by being pleased with each to the common enjoyment of life, as comrades
and good friends; but +sodalis+ (from ἔθος, ἠθεῖος) is the more
elevated, +sociennus+, a more comic expression. +Socius+ is generally in
construction with an objective genitive, which names the purpose of the
_sociatio_; whereas +sodalis+ only with a subjective genitive, which
names the other _sodalis_; _socius periculi_, _culpæ_, but _sodalis
meus_. 2. +Sodalis+ is a good friend, with whom one stands in a
sociable, that is to say, a calm state of intercourse; +amicus+, a
friend, with whom one exchanges the sacred feeling of love and respect;

voluntarily takes a part in a thing, in opp. to _expers_, like μέτοχος;
the +consors+, because, without co-operating, he is entitled to a share,
in opp. to _exsors_. Cic. Balb. 28. Fuit hic multorum illi laborum
_socius_ aliquando; est fortasse nunc nonnullorum _particeps_
commodorum. Liv. xxi. 41, and Suet. Aug. 25. The co-regent is _socius
imperii_, so far as he shares in the business of government; _consors_,
so far as the office is merely honorary. (iv. 208.)

Græci timeant!--the word +insolitus+ refers to the frequency of their
appearance; +insuetus+, to the connection of their appearance with the

the natural ground and bottom of a thing; +solum+, that of the earth, on
which one can place a firm foot, in opp. to the movable elements air and
water; +fundus+ (from fodere, βυθός,) that of a vessel, in opp. to the

sea, in opp. to the water, which flows into it, or to standing water;
whereas +fundamentum+ denotes a foundation artificially laid, on which a
building, etc. rests, and which, in addition to the _solum_, it
particularly needs. Hence the proverbial phrase, _Omnis res jam in vado

_Largitio fundum non habet_, like the vessel of the Danaides. Cic. Brut.
74. Solum et quasi fundamentum oratoris vides. (v. 35.)

SOLUM, see _Tellus_.

SPECUS; CAVERNA; ANTRUM; SPELUNCA; SPELÆUM; FOVEA; SCROBS. 1. +Specus+

cavities with a perpendicular opening, leading up into a mountain;
+scrobs+, +fovea+, and +favissa+, pits with an horizontal opening,
leading down into the earth. 2. +Specus+ (σπέος) is a gap, with a

+spernari+, +aspernari+ (ἐκπέραίνειν) mean, not to care for a thing, in
opp. to _appetere_, _concupisse_, Cic. Fin. ii. 10, 51. Plaut. Mil.
iv. 2, 59, something like ἀποβάλλειν; whereas +contemnere+, poetically
+temnere+ (from temere), not to fear a thing, in opp. to _timere_,
_metuere_, Cic. Fam. vii. 32. Att. ii. 24. Sen. Prov. 6. Tac. H. ii. 92,
like καταφρονεῖν; lastly, +despicere+, +despectare+, not to value a

+spernari+, and the more usual word, +aspernari+, as an utterance of
that feeling, synonymously with _recusare_, _abnuere_, _rejicere_, like
waving from one. In +spernere+, the notion of holding cheap
predominates; in +aspernari+, that of aversion or rejection. +Spernere+
refers to an object which is at one’s command; +aspernari+, to something
offered to us, or obtruded upon us. 3. +Aspernari+ is confined to the
simple avowal of aversion; whereas +recusare+ includes the decided
declaration of unwillingness. Curt. vi. 6, 7. Principes _aspernantes_
quidem, sed recusare non ausos Persicis ornaverat vestibus. 4. The
+spernens+ follows a moral and rational aversion, and acts more or less
with a consciousness of his grounds for despising anything; whereas the
+fastidiens+ follows a physical and instinctive aversion, whether it be
an innate or temporary antipathy, which arises either from an actual
loathing, or from what appears like it; lastly, the +negligens+ follows
the suggestion neither of reason, nor yet of instinct and feeling, but
acts without thought or purpose. (ii. 178.)

_sua sponte_ oblatum sperneretur; and Tac. Hist. iv. 79. Suet. Cæs.
6. +Sponte accusare+ means to accuse of one’s own accord; whereas +ultro
accusare+ means to obtrude one’s self into the office of an accuser,
when one should be satisfied with not being one’s self accused;
according to which, +ultro accusavit+ may be resolved into the complete
phrase: Haud contentus non accusari ab altero, _ultro_ etiam progressus

alterum. 2. +Sponte+, from choice, is in opp. to _casu_, or

figuratively that which gives a calm pleasure; +dulcis+, like γλυκύς,
a pleasant flavor, and, figuratively, that which gives a lively
pleasure; hence +dulcis+ is a stronger expression than _suavis_, in
Plin. Ep. v. 8, 10. Hæc vel maxima vi, amaritudine, instantia; illa
tractu et _suavitate_, atque etiam _dulcedine_ placet. Plin. H. N.
xv. 27. _Dulce_, et pingue, et _suave_. (iii. 256.)

(from salire, insilire,) misemploys its superiority, in a rude manner,
to the humiliation of the weaker, as insolence, in opp. to humanity and
magnanimity. The +superbus+ would outshine others, the +arrogans+ would
encroach upon them; the +fastosus+ despises them; the +insolens+ insults
them. (iv. 187.)

and then forcible emission of it, as the immediate consequence of an
afflicted heart; whereas +gemere+ (γέμειν), to groan, is more of a
voluntary act, in order to give vent to the afflicted heart; hence
+suspirium+ is more an expression of uneasiness and distress, +gemitus+
of actual pain. Cic. Att. ii. 21. Cum diu occulte _suspirassent_; postea
jam _gemere_, ad extremum vero loqui omnes et clamare cœperunt.

especially to water, like πέδον; lastly, +humus+ (χθών, χαμαί), as the

A raft consists of _trabes_, not of _tigna_; whereas the wood-work of a
building, which, as a pillar, is destined to support something, is
composed of _tigna_, not of _trabes_, by which the cross-beams only are
denoted. Cæs. B. Civ. ii. 9. Supra eum locum duo _tigna_ transversa

separation denoted by +trans+, that of an obstruction. Tac. Germ. 29.
Protulit magnitudo populi Romani _ultra_ Rhenum _ultraque_ veteres
terminos imperil reverentiam . . . Non numeraverim inter Germaniæ
populos, quanquam _trans_ Rhenum Danubiumque considerint, eos, qui
decumates agros exercent. Eutrop. vii. 9. Liv. xxii. 43. Tac. Ann.
xvi. 17. (iii. 109.)

danger, as to protect, in opp. to _negligere_, Cic. Fin. iv. 14;
+defendere+, an actual attack, as to defend, in opp. to _deserere_.
Hence those that are under age have _tutores_; those that are accused,
_defensores_. The _tuens_ shows more of carefulness and love, as seeking

resisting danger. (iv. 307.)

TUMERE, see _Turgere_.

TUMULUS, see _Collis_.

TURBA, see _Caterva_.

+tumultus+ denote the civil broils of public life; +turbæ+ (τύρβη)
interruptions of public order; +tumultus+ (from tumere) of the public
peace; whereas +seditio+ and +secessio+ are political commotions, in
consequence of decided, evident differences of opinion, and of
conflicting principles; +seditio+ (from se and ire) when concord is
first disturbed, and the parties as yet contend with words only;
+secessio+, when the prospect of reconciliation is already given up, and
the parties either stand opposite each other, ready to come to blows,
or, at least, have broken off all connection with each other. 2. The
+seditiosi+ and +secedentes+ are citizens and members of a free
community, and only suspend public concord; whereas the +deficientes+
and +desciscentes+ break a compact, because, either as subjected states
they rebel, or as allies fall off; +deficere+, as the most general
expression, represents the falling off, in a moral point of view, as a
treacherous, fickle, cowardly desertion; +desciscere+ (from scindere) in
a political point of view, as an alteration in the constitution and
political system. (v. 363.)

to actual corpulency and fulness, like σπαργᾶν, σφριγᾶν; whereas
+tumere+ (from στόμφος) with reference to concealed nothingness and
emptiness, like οἰδᾶν. Hence sails are called _turgida_, inasmuch as the
wind, which swells them out, is something, and actually fills them; and
_tumida_, inasmuch as it is merely air, consequently nothing, and only
seems to fill them. (iv. 191.)

TURIO, see _Rami_.

TURPIS, see _Teter_.

TUTUS; SECURUS; INCURIOSUS. 1. +Tutus+ denotes safety objectively, he
who actually is safe, like ἀσφαλής; +securus+ (sine cura) subjectively,
he who thinks himself safe; hence +tutus+ is used for provident, with
reference to foresight; +securus+ is used as a softer expression, for
improvident, with reference to the want of foresight. Sen. Ep. 97.
_Tuta_ scelera esse possunt, _secura_ non possunt: and 105. The
substantive _securitas_, however, must be used to supply the want of a
similar substantive from _tutus_. 2. +Securus+, +securitas+, denote
freedom from care and anxiety merely as a state of mind, like ἀμέριμνος,
in opp. to _sollicitus_, Tac. Hist. iv. 58; whereas +incuriosus+,
+incuria+, denote the want of carefulness and attention, with a
practical reference, like heedless, ὀλίγωρος, in opp. to _cura_. Sen.

UBER, see _Fœcundus_ and _Mamma_.

UDUS; UVIDUS; HUMIDUS; AQUOSUS; MADIDUS. 1. +Uvidum+ and +udum+ (ὑάς,
vadum, from ὕω, uveo) denote, like ὑγρόν, the wetness which consists

apparently, or only by hyperbole, _humore constans_; whereas +humidum+
and +humectum+ (from χυμός) is the wetness which is caused by water
soaking through, _humore mixtum_. Senec. N. Q. ii. 25. Dicis nubes
attritas edere ignem cum sint _humidæ_, imo _udæ_. Hence is +udus+ (in
opp. to _sudus_ and _solidus_) used by Tertullian as synonymous with
_aquanus_; whereas _humidus_ (in opp. to _aridus_) is synonymous with
_aquosus_, only that by _aquosus_ is meant a separation and
juxta-position of wet and dry; by _humidus_, a mixture and association
of wet and dry; hence _pratum aquosum_ means a meadow with ponds and
puddles; _pratum humidum_, a meadow soaked with water. 2. +Udus+ is only
a contracted form of _uvidus_; +humectus+ is distinguished from
_humidus_ only as a sort of participle. Pacuv. ap. Varr. Terra exhalabat
auroram _humidam, humectam_. 3. +Humidus+, +humens+, refer, like moist,
to the inward quality of a body; whereas +madidus+, +madens+, like
μυδαλέος and dripping, only to the exterior and surface of a body, in
opp. to _siccus_. Cic. Phil. xiv. 3. Imbuti sanguine gladii legionum
exercituumque nostrorum, vel _madefacti_ potius duobus consulum, tertio
Cæsaris prœlio; for +imbuere+, as the causative of _imbibere_, refers to
a _humectatio_, a moisture of the inner part; +madefieri+, to a
_redundatio_, the cause of which lies in this, that the inner part is so
over-full, that nothing further can be forced into it. (ii. 12.)

ULCUS, see _Vulnus_.

ULIGO, see _Lacuna_.

ULNA; LACERTUS; BRACHIUM; CUBITUS. +Ulna+ (ὠλένη) is the whole arm, from

unities, like ἑκάτερος; +ambo+, as the halves of a pair, like ἄμφω. Cic.
Fin. ii. 7. Hic, qui _utramque_ probat, _ambobus_ debuit uti. Orat. 6,
21. Terent. Ad. i. 2, 50. Curemus æquam _uterque_ partem; tu alterum,
ego alterum; nam _ambos_ curare propemodum reposcere illum est quem
dedisti. Plin. Pan. 90, 4. Vell. P. ii. 66. This difference is palpable
from Cic. Mur. 18, 37. Duæ res vehementer in prætura desideratæ sunt,
quæ _ambæ_ in consulatu Murenæ profuerunt . . . . Horum _utrumque_ ei
fortuna ad consulatus petitionem reservavit. And Orat. iii. 26. A quibus
_utrisque_ submittitur aliquid. 2. +Uterque+ and +ambo+ are copulative,
and may be resolved into _unus et alter_, and have their predicate
actually in common; whereas +utervis+ and +uterlibet+ are disjunctive,
and may be resolved into _unus vel alter_, and have their predicate in
common only by possibility. Ter. Andr. prol. 10. Qui _utramvis_ recte
norit, _ambos_ noverit. (iv. 349.)

UTI; USURPARE; FRUI; FRUNISCI. +Uti+ and +usurpare+ denote the mere act
of using, by which a person turns a thing to his advantage; but +uti+
(from οἴω) a permanent use; +usurpare+ (usui rapere) a single act of
using; whereas +frui+ and the antiquated word +frunisci+ (from φρονεῖν),
the pleasant feeling of this use, as to enjoy; +frui+ is the primitive,
+frunisci+ the inchoative of the verb. Sen. Vit. B. 10. Tu voluptate
_frueris_, ego _utor_. Flor. ii. 6. Hannibal cum victoria posset _uti_,
_frui_ maluit. Cic. Rosc. Am. 45, 131. Commoda, quibus _utimur_, lucem,
qua _fruimur_, spiritumque, quem ducimus, a Deo nobis dari. Cic. Cat.
iii. 2, 5. Quorum opera . . . assidue _utor_; comp. with Fin. ii. 35,
118. In ea, quam sæpe _usurpabas_, tranquillitate degere omnem vitam.
Cic. Orat. 51, 169. Post inventa conclusio est, qua credo _usuros_
veteres illos fuisse, si jam nota et _usurpata_ res esset. (iii. 134.)

and, consequently, stedfast, in opp. to _labans_, _vacillans_, and, for
want of a corresponding adjective, to _imbecillus_, Cic. Fam. ix. 16.
Sall. Jug. 10. Quintil. v. 10, 49, like βέβαιος; +robustum+ (from
ἐῤῥῶσθαι) through its compact nature, and its impenetrable and,
consequently, durable materials, nearly in opp. to _tenerum_, like
ῥωμαλέος and ἰσχυρός. 2. +Imbecillitas+ denotes generally a mental,
+infirmitas+, a bodily weakness, according to Cic. Fin. v. 45. In
_infirma_ ætate, _imbecillaque_ mente: both are sometimes used in a
mental sense, in which case +imbecillitas+ denotes a natural weakness of
the head or heart, a want of talent or of spirit; whereas +infirmitas+,
a moral weakness of character, fickleness and uncertainty, for example:
Cæs. B. G. vii. 77. Nolite stultitia ac temeritate vestra aut

10. Quos longe simul a domo profectos _diverse variæ_ viæ reportant;
that is, whom various ways, in an entirely different direction, bring
home. Tac. Hist. i. 25. Otho postquam _vario_ sermone callidos et
audaces cognovit pretio et promissis onerat . . . Suspensos cæterorum
animos _diversis_ artibus (namely, spe et metu) stimulant. 2. The
+diversa+ will have nothing in common, and go different or even opposite
ways from each other; whereas the +contraria+ confront and stand
directly opposite to each other. Hence the following climax in Cic.
Divin. ii. 26, 55. _Diversas_ aut etiam _contrarias_. Vell. Pat. ii. 75.
_Diversa_ præsentibus et _contraria_ exspectatis sperare. Quintil.

Pliny is describing two different properties, xxxvii. 10, when he
describes the stone Mithrax, as at the same time _multicolor_ and
_contra solem varie refulgens_. 4. +Variare+ means to give a varied
appearance in general; +variegare+, to give a varied appearance,
especially by different colors. (iii. 269.)

the disposing of the thing is the principal notion, the price merely
secondary, in opp. to emere, like ἀποδόσθαι; in +venundare+, the
previous having for sale, or offering for sale, is the principal notion,
as in πιπράσκειν, πωλεῖν, ἀπεμπολᾶν; whereas +mancipare+ denotes a

all that belongs to it, transferred to another, in a legal form, as his
property. (iv. 118.)

1. +Verberare+, +ferire+, and +icere+, mean, in a general sense, to
strike, whether by throwing, hitting, or pushing; but the _verberans_
makes his blow rebound; the _iciens_ and _feriens_ penetrate and wound,
or break to pieces; the _iciens_ (resembling in form jaciens) chiefly by
throwing, for instance, _fulmine ictus_; the _feriens_, by pushing, for
instance, _murum ariete_; whereas +cædere+, +pulsare+, and +mulcare+,
denote especially striking, generally with a weapon; +cædere+, with a

misusage by blows or thrusts, which is administered as mere vengeance by

with hand or stick, which principally hurts the honor and dignity of the

VERBUM; VOCABULUM; VOX; DICTUM; DICTERIUM. 1. +Verbum+ (ἄραβος) is a
word, as a part of speech; whereas +vocabulum+, as a part of language.
The _verba_ are verbs, the _vocabula_ words in general. 2. +Verba+
denote words in general, with reference to their meaning; +voces+, with
reference to their form and their sound. 3. As a grammatical term, +vox+
comprehends all the eight parts of speech; +vocabulum+, all legitimate
words, consequently with the exclusion of interjections or natural
sounds; +nomen+, only the nouns, adjectives, substantives, and pronouns;
and +verbum+, only the verbs. 4. +Verbum+, in a collective sense,
denotes a general notion, that which is said; whereas +vox+, +dictum+,
and +dicterium+, are particular expressions; +vox+ (ἠχή), an expression
of feeling or passion, like an exclamation; +dictum+, an expression of

5. +Dictum+ is the general and popular expression for any pointed
saying; +dicterium+, a select term of later times for a particularly
smart _dictum_, which is not merely the product of natural wit, but also
of cultivation refined by literature and intercourse with polished
society. (iv. 29.)

VERERI; TIMERE; METUERE; SPES; FIDUCIA; TIMOR; TIMIDITAS; IGNAVIA;
FORMIDO; HORROR. 1. +Vereri+ (ὁρᾶν?) like αἰδεῖσθαι, has its foundation
in what is strikingly venerable; +metuere+ and +timere+, like δεῖσαι;
and φοβεῖσθαι, in the threatening danger of an object. The _timens_ and
_metuens_ fear the danger; the _verens_, the disgrace and shame. Cic.
Phil. xii. 12. Quid? veteranos non _veremur_? nam _timeri_ ne ipsi
quidem volunt. Sen. 11, 37. _Metuebant_ eum servi, _verebantur_ liberi,
carum omnes habebant. Liv. xxxix. 37. _Veremur_ quidem vos Romani et si
ita vultis etiam _timemus_. Afran. ap. Gell. xv. 13. Ubi malunt _metui_,
quam _vereri_ se ab suis. Senec. Ir. iii. 32. Quibusdam _timeamus_
irasci, quibusdam _vereamur_. 2. +Metus+ (ματᾶν) is fear, only as the
anticipation of an impending evil, and reflection upon it, the
apprehension that proceeds from foresight and prudence, like δέος,
synonymously with _cautio_; whereas +timor+ (from τρέμω), the fear that
proceeds from cowardice and weakness. Or, +metus+ is an intellectual
notion; fear, as from reflection, in opp. to _spes_; for instances, see
Cic. Verr. ii. 54. Off. ii. 6. Liv. xxx. 9. Suet. Aug. 25. Tac. H.
i. 18. Ann. ii. 12, 38. Sen. Ep. 5. Suet. Aug. 5. Cels. ii. 6. Curt.
viii. 6:--whereas +timor+ is a moral notion, fear as a feeling, in opp.
to _fiducia_, _animus_. Cic. Divin. ii. 31. Att. v. 20. Rull. i. 8.
Sallust. Jug. ii. 3. Tac. Hist. ii. 80. Plin. Ep. v. 17. 3. In the like
manner are +spes+, hope, and +fiducia+, confidence, distinguished. Sen.
Ep. 16. Jam de te _spem_ habeo, nondum _fiduciam_. Tac. Agr. 2. Nec
_spem_ modo ac votum securitas publica, sed ipsius voti _fiduciam_ ac
robur assumpserit. Suet. Cl. 10. Aliquanto minore _spe_ quam _fiducia_.
Liv. x. 25. Curt. ix. 4, 25. 4. +Timor+ denotes fear, as a temporary
state; +timiditas+, fearfulness, as an habitual quality, which is
connected with _ignavia_, as a more precise expression for the more
general feeling. Lactant. iii. 17. Epicurus . . . _ignavum_ prohibet
accedere ad rem publicam, pigrum exercere, _timidum_ militare. +Ignavia+
is inaptitude for any noble action, and particularly for deeds of valor;
+timiditas+ is, under certain circumstances, excusable; +ignavia+ is
absolutely blamable. 5. +Metus+ and +timor+ have their foundation in
reflection, whereby a person is made clearly aware of the object and
ground of his apprehension; whereas +horror+ and +formido+ is an
immediate feeling, which overpowers the understanding by the dreadful
image of the nearness of some horrid object, and can give no account of
the ground of its fear; +formido+ (fremere) expresses this state
immediately as a state of mind, like ὀῤῥωδία; whereas +horror+ (χέρσος)
as the bodily expression of this state, by the hair standing on end, the
eyes wildly staring, etc., like φρίκη. Tac. H. iv. 45. _Metus_ per omnes
ac præcipua Germanici militis _formido_. (ii. 190.)

VERERI; REVERERI; VENERARI; COLERE; OBSERVARE; ADORARE; ADMIRARI;
SUSPICERE. 1. +Vereri+ and +revereri+ mean, to feel reverence; whereas
+venerari+, to show reverence. Tac. Ann. xiv. 13; comp. _venerationem_
sui with matris _reverentia_. 2. +Vereri+ (ὁρᾶν?) denotes respect
bordering on fear and bashfulness; whereas +revereri+, fear and
bashfulness arising from respect. In _vereri_, fear, in _revereri_,
respect is the principal notion: hence +verecundia+ is the dread of
exposing one’s self before the person respected; whereas +reverentia+,
the calm consciousness that some one is worthy of this reverential
feeling. 3. +Venerari+ (ἄντεσθαι?) is used (at least in Cicero) only for
demonstrations of reverence towards the gods and sacred things;
+observare+, only for such demonstrations towards men; +colere+, towards
either. Cic. Rep. i. 12. Ut . . . Africanum ut deum _coleret_ Lælius,
domi vicissim Lælium _observaret_ in parentis loco Scipio. And, N. D.
i. 42. ii. 28. The +venerans+ seeks only to express due reverence, and
by self-humiliation to avert the anger of the gods; the +colens+ (from
κόλαξ) seeks by acts of courtesy, of service, and of respect, to win the
affection of some one, and the fruits of it, as from a cultivated field.
+Veneratio+ shows itself more in prayer; +cultus+, more in sacrifice:
+veneratio+ is more a single, transient act; +cultus+ more a permanent
expression of respect. Tac. H. i. 10. Vespasianus . . . Titum filium ad
_venerationem cultumque_ (ejus) miserat; that is, that he might do
homage to the new emperor, and then also remain in his circle of
courtiers. 4. +Observare+ (from ἐρύεσθαι) involves a mere negative
notion, and denotes having regard for, in opp. to slighting; yet is not,
on this account, _colere_ a stronger, _observare_ a weaker term.
+Colere+, indeed, involves more palpable activity, _operam_; whereas
+observare+, more tender regard, _pietatem_; hence sometimes the one,
sometimes the other, is the stronger expression. 5. +Adorare+ is the
most general expression for any sort of worship; whereas +veneratio+
consists more in gestures, +precatio+ in words. 6. _Reveremur validas
auctoritates; admiramur raras virtutes; suspicimus excellentia
dignitate._ At the same time it appears to me, that the _reverens_ is in
a state of silent awe; the _admirans_ with the expression of loud, or at
least visible enthusiasm; the _suspiciens_, under the image of one
looking up to another with an humble feeling of his own inferiority.
+Revereri+ refers especially to moral; +admirari+, to intellectual and
moral; +suspicere+, to any, even adventitious, pre-eminences. (ii. 185.)

situation, like τρέπειν; +torquere+ (from τρέκω), ἀτρεκής), to twist,
that is, in order to move a fixed point, like στρέφειν. 2. +Convertere+
means, either to turn in a body, with reference to those acting, as, for
instance, Ut pæne terga _convertant_; or, with reference to the action,
to turn completely; whereas +invertere+ means, to turn only half round,
so that the reverse side of the thing turned is exposed; lastly,
+pervertere+ means to turn upside down, so that the thing turned becomes
useless, or falls to the ground. (v. 289.)

VESTIS; VESTITUS; VESTIMENTUM; AMICTUS; AMICULUM; CULTUS; HABITUS.
1. +Vestis+ (from vas, Goth. wastjan) is the most general expression,

single article of dress, _vestimentum_. +Vestem mutare+ denotes, to go
into mourning; +vestimenta mutare+, to shift one’s clothes. 2. +Vestis+
and +vestimentum+ denote the clothes which cover the body, as necessary
or decent; +amictus+ and +amiculum+ (from ambi and jacere) the cloak or
mantle which covers the under-clothing, for the sake of warmth or of
ornament; +amictus+, the whole of the over-clothing; +amiculum+, a
single article, as a mantle. Tac. G. 17. Feminæ sæpius lineis
_amictibus_ velantur, partemque _vestitus_ superioris in manicas non
extendunt. Curt. v. 1, 38. Sil. It. vii. 447. 3. +Cultus+ and +habitus+
have a wider meaning than _vestis_; +cultus+ (occulere) whatever belongs
to dress, girdle, hat, ornaments, arms, etc.; +habitus+, whatever
belongs to the exterior in general, cleanliness, mode of dressing the
hair, carriage of the body, etc. Suet. Cæs. 44. Dicam ea, quæ ad formam
et _habitum_ et _cultum_ et mores pertinebant. Cal. 52. _Vestitu_
calceatuque cæteroque _habitu_. (v. 209.)

ἕνους ἔχων?), an old man from his sixtieth year, with the accessory
notion of his being worthy of respect, like πρεσβύτης; lastly,
+grandævus+ and +longævus+ denote a very aged man, who has already
exceeded the usual duration of life, and who is, consequently, somewhere
about eighty or upwards. 2. +Senecta+ denotes old age indifferently,
merely as a period of life; +senectus+, as a venerable and experienced
age, that commands respect and indulgence; +senium+, the infirm and
burdensome age, which is to be looked upon as a disease. (iv. 89.)

  Publishes and offers for Sale the following Works, which will be
  sent, post-paid, on receipt of the sums affixed.


+GARDINER’S GREEK HARMONY.+ A Harmony of the Four Gospels in Greek,
according to the Text of Tischendorf, with a Collation of the Textus
Receptus, and of the Texts of Griesbach, Lachmann, and Tregelles. By
Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School. 8vo.
$2.50.

“A very important matter in the preparation of the Harmony is, of
course, the choice of a text. The one chosen by Professor Gardiner is
that of Tischendorf’s eighth edition of the New Testament. This text was
chosen because ‘it embodied the latest results of criticism, having had
the advantage throughout of the Codex Sinaiticus and of a more close
collation of the Codex Vaticanus.’ Professor Gardiner would, indeed,
have published his Harmony more than a year ago, but waited till
opportunity could be given for consulting this last edition of
Tischendorf. It is an obvious merit in this Harmony, that the student
can see at a glance whether or not the text of Tischendorf agrees or
conflicts with that of Griesbach, Lachmann, and Tregelles in places
where there is a difference of opinion. It is another excellence of the
work that the Greek text is so accurate, evincing the most scrupulous
care and thorough scholarship on the part of the editor.” --_Bibliotheca
Sacra._

“The notes of the author are marked by scholarship and good sense. The
student will find it a convenient manual for the study of the Gospels,
because he sees upon one and the same page the readings of the principal
editions and manuscripts, together with the quotations made by the
evangelists from the Old Testament.” --_Princeton Review._

“Dr. Gardiner’s work has been well done, and he has given us a Harmony
of great value.” --_Quarterly Review Evang. Luth. Church._

“By this scholarly work Dr. Gardiner has rendered all diligent students
of the Gospel narrative an invaluable service. In a single volume, and
by the most satisfactory arrangement of the several and inspired
accounts of the life and doings of our Lord, the book furnishes the best
results of the ablest and most laborious investigation of all known
sources of knowledge regarding the original sacred text.” --_Reformed
Church Monthly._

“It is a superior work of its kind.” --_National Baptist._

“This book, the result of great research and utmost painstaking, is well
worthy the consideration of all Bible scholars.” --_Watchman and
Reflector._


+GARDINER’S ENGLISH HARMONY.+ A Harmony of the Four Gospels in English,
according to the Authorized Version; corrected by the best Critical
Editions of the Original. By Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the
Berkeley Divinity School. 8vo. Cloth, $2.00.

“The Harmony in English, the title of which is given above, is a
reproduction of the Harmony in Greek; no other changes being made than
such as were required to fit the work for the use of the English reader
who desires to learn some of the improvements which modern criticism has
made in the authorized English text.” --_Bibliotheca Sacra._

“We gladly commend this Harmony to every intelligent reader of the
Scriptures. The need of such a guide is felt by every thoughtful
Churchman at least once a year--in Holy Week--when he desires to read
the events of each day in the order in which they happened so many years
ago. We do not think that our laymen know how much they will be helped
to the understanding of the Gospels by a simple Harmony, perhaps read as
we suggested above, in connection with some standard Life of our
Lord.” --_The Churchman._


+LIFE OF CHRIST.+ The Life of our Lord in the Words of the Gospels. By
Frederic Gardiner, D.D., Professor in the Berkeley Divinity School.
16mo. pp. 256. $1.00

“It is well adapted to the convenience of pastors, to the needs of
teachers in the Bible-class and Sabbath-school, to the religious
instruction of families. It bids fair to introduce improvements into the
style of teaching the Bible to the young.” --_Bibliotheca Sacra._

“This little volume will not only answer as a Harmony of the Gospels for
the use of those who only care to have results, but it will be an
excellent book to read at family prayers, or to study with a
Bible-class.” --_Christian Union._


+ELLICOTT’S COMMENTARY, CRITICAL AND GRAMMATICAL+, on St. Paul’s Epistle
to the Galatians. With an Introductory Notice by C. E. STOWE, Professor
in Andover Theological Seminary. 8vo. pp. 183. $1.50.

The Commentaries of Prof. Ellicott supply an urgent want in their sphere
of criticism. Prof. Stowe says of them, in his Notice: “It is the
crowning excellence of these Commentaries that they are exactly what
they profess to be, _critical_ and _grammatical_, and therefore, in the
best sense of the term, _exegetical_. . . . . . His results are worthy
of all confidence. He is more careful than Tischendorf, slower and more
steadily deliberate than Alford, and more patiently laborious than any
other living New Testament critic, with the exception, perhaps, of
Tregelles.”

“They [Ellicott’s Commentaries] have set the first example, in this
country, [England] of a thorough and fearless examination of the
grammatical and philological requirements of every word of the sacred
text. I do not know of anything superior to them, in their own
particular line, in Germany; and they add, what, alas! is so seldom
found in that country, profound reverence for the matter and subjects on
which the author is laboring; nor is their value lessened by Mr.
Ellicott’s having confined himself for the most part to one department
of a commentator’s work--the grammatical and philological.” --_Dean
Alford._

“The _critical_ part is devoted to the settling of the text, and this is
admirably done, with a labor, skill, and conscientiousness
unsurpassed.” --_Bib. Sacra._

“We have never met with a learned commentary on any book of the New
Testament so nearly perfect in every respect as the ‘Commentary on the
Epistle to the Galatians,’ by Prof. Ellicott, of King’s College,
London,--learned, devout, and orthodox.” --_Independent._

“We would recommend all scholars of the original Scriptures who seek
directness, luminous brevity, the absence of everything irrelevant to
strict grammatical inquiry, with a concise and yet very complete view of
the opinions of others, to possess themselves of Ellicott’s
Commentaries.” --_American Presbyterian._

+HENDERSON ON THE MINOR PROPHETS.+
THE BOOK OF THE TWELVE MINOR PROPHETS.
Translated from the Original Hebrew. With a Commentary, Critical,
Philological, and Exegetical. By E. HENDERSON, D.D. With a Biographical
Sketch of the Author, by E. P. BARROWS, Hitchcock Professor in Andover
Theological Seminary. 8vo. pp. 490. $3.50.

“This Commentary on the Minor Prophets, like that on the Prophecy of
Isaiah, has been highly and deservedly esteemed by professional
scholars, and has been of great service to the working ministry. We are
happy to welcome it in an American edition, very neatly printed.”
--_Bib. Sacra._

“Clergymen and other students of the Bible will be glad to see this
handsome American edition of a work which has a standard reputation in
its department, and which fills a place that is filled, so far as we
know, by no other single volume in the English language. Dr. Henderson
was a good Hebrew and Biblical scholar, and in his Commentaries he is
intelligent, brief, and to the point.” --_Boston Recorder._

“The American publisher issues this valuable work with the consent and
approbation of the author, obtained from himself before his death. It is
published in substantial and elegant style, clear white paper and
beautiful type. The work is invaluable for its philological research and
critical acumen. The notes are learned, reliable, and practical, and the
volume deserves a place in every theological student’s library.”
--_American Presbyterian, etc._

“Of all his Commentaries none are more popular than his Book of the
Minor Prophets.” --_Christian Observer._

“This is probably the best Commentary extant on the Minor Prophets. The
work is worthy of a place in the library of every scholar and every
diligent and earnest reader of the Bible.” --_Christian Chronicle._


+COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE ROMANS.+ By MOSES STUART, late
Professor of Sacred Literature in the Theological Seminary at Andover.
Third Edition. Edited and revised by PROF. R. D. C. ROBBINS. 12mo. pp.
544. $2.25.

“His Commentary on the Romans is the most elaborate of all his works. It
has elicited more discussion than any of his other exegetical volumes.
It is the result of long continued, patient thought. It expresses, in
clear style, his maturest conclusions. It has the animating influence of
an original treatise, written on a novel plan, and under a sense of
personal responsibility. Regarding it in all its relations, its
antecedents and consequents, we pronounce it the most important
Commentary which has appeared in this country on this Epistle.”
  --_Bib. Sacra._

“We heartily commend this work to all students of the Bible. The
production of one of the first Biblical scholars of our age, on the most
important of all the doctrinal books of the New Testament, it deserves
the careful study, not only of those who agree with Prof. Stuart in his
theological and exegetical principles, but of those who earnestly
dissent from some of his views in both respects.” --_Watchman and
Reflector._

“This contribution by Prof. Stuart has justly taken a high place among
the Commentaries on the Epistle to the Romans, and, with his other
works, will always be held in high estimation by the student of the
Sacred Scriptures.” --_New York Observer._


+COMMENTARY ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS.+ By PROF. M. STUART. Third
Edition. Edited and revised by PROF. R. D. C. ROBBINS. 12mo. pp. 575.
$2.25.

“It is a rich treasure for the student of the original. As a
commentator, Prof. Stuart was especially arduous and faithful in
following up the thought and displaying the connection of a passage, and
his work as a scholar will bear comparison with any that have since
appeared on either side of the Atlantic.” --_American Presbyterian._

“This Commentary is classical, both as to its literary and its
theological merits. The edition before us is very skilfully edited, by
Professor Robbins, and gives in full Dr. Stuart’s text, with additions
bringing it down to the present day.” --_Episcopal Recorder._

“We have always regarded this excellent Commentary as the happiest
effort of the late Andover Professor. It seems to us well-nigh to
exhaust the subjects which the author comprehended in his
plan.” --_Boston Recorder._

“It is from the mind and heart of an eminent Biblical scholar, whose
labors in the cause of sacred learning will not soon be
forgotten.” --_Christian Observer._


+COMMENTARY ON THE BOOK OF PROVERBS.+ By PROF. M. STUART. 12mo. pp. 432.
$1.75.

“This is the last work from the pen of Prof. Stuart. Both this
Commentary and the one preceding it, on Ecclesiastes, exhibit a
mellowness of spirit which savors of the good man ripening for heaven;
and the style is more condensed, and, in that respect, more agreeable,
than in some of the works which were written in the unabated freshness
and exuberant vigor of his mind. In learning and critical acumen they
are equal to his former works. No English reader, we venture to say, can
elsewhere find so complete a philological exposition of these two
important books of the Old Testament.” --_Bib. Sacra._


+COMMENTARY ON ECCLESIASTES.+ By MOSES STUART, late Professor of Sacred
Literature in the Theological Seminary at Andover. Second Edition.
Edited and revised by R. D. C. ROBBINS, Professor in Middlebury College.
12mo. $1.50

The Introduction discusses the general nature of the book; its special
design and method, diction, authority, credit, and general history;
ancient and modern versions, and commentaries. The Commentary is
strictly and minutely exegetical.


+STUART’S MISCELLANIES.+ pp. 369. 12mo. $1.00.

CONTENTS.--I. Letters to Dr. Channing on the Trinity.--II. Two Sermons
on the Atonement.--III. Sacramental Sermon on the Lamb of God.--IV.
Dedication Sermon.--Real Christianity.--V. Letter to Dr. Channing on
Religious Liberty.--VI. Supplementary Notes and Postscripts.


+COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE.+ 2 vols. 8vo. pp. 564, 504. $5.00.


+CRITICAL HISTORY AND DEFENCE OF THE OLD TESTAMENT CANON.+ 12mo. pp.
450.    $1.75.



+Angel over the Right Shoulder, The;+ or the Beginning of a New Year.
By the Author of “Sunnyside.”    40 cents.

“It is as provokingly short as it is exquisitely beautiful.” --_Boston
Recorder._

“What a blessed thing is a sunny spirit, ever cheerful and happy, and
ever diffusing joy over all around it. Such a spirit is the Author of
“Sunny Side.” She comes to us again as a living angel--in good omen over
the _right_ shoulder. We commend it to all mothers, and especially to
all Mrs. Jellabys.” --_Independent._


+Carlyle, Thomas. Latter-Day Pamphlets.+ 12mo.    $1.00

  CONTENTS.--The Present Time.--Model Prisons.--Downing Street.--The
  New Downing Street.--Stump Orator.--Parliaments.--Hudson’s
  Statue.--Jesuitism.


+A Collection of the Proverbs of all Nations.+ Compared, Explained, and
Illustrated. By WALTER B. KELLY. 12mo.    $1.25

“This is one of those books, like Roget’s Thesaurus, Haydn’s Dictionary
of Dates, and Lippincott’s Pronouncing Gazetteer, which contains a vast
amount of information in a very small space--books that a writer cannot
afford to be without, for they contain information that by days of
research in libraries one would hardly be able to obtain. This
collection contains all the proverbs which are familiar in all nations.
They are classified under various heads, such as Women, Love, Marriage,
Home, Self-conceit, Ingratitude, and so on. There is also a full index,
which enables one at once to find any particular proverb. Another
excellent feature is, that when a proverb is taken from another
language, not only the English, but the original is given. The book is
replete with good things. It supplies a want that many a one has felt--a
want that no dictionary, gazetteer, or book of quotations now
supplies.” --_College Courant._

“It is not possible, perhaps, to collect the proverbial wisdom of the
world in any more attractive form than this of Mr. Kelly’s. . . . . . As
a book for the library, an armory where a writer or a speaker may be
armed and equipped in a single line; as a book for the centre-table,
something that you can read a page or twenty pages of, have your reading
cut short anywhere, and still be complete and intensely interesting
besides,--as a book for either of these purposes, the “Proverbs of all
Nations” will be found very acceptable. Certain it is, at least, that
“you may go farther and fare worse.”” --_Christian Freeman._


+Value of the Study of Church History in Ministerial Education.+
A Lecture delivered to the Senior Class of Andover Theological Seminary.
By EGBERT C. SMYTH. 8vo. Paper,    25 cents.


+God’s Ownership of the Sea.+ By LEONARD SWAIN, D.D. Reprinted from the
Bibliotheca Sacra. Paper,    25 cents.

  A remarkably interesting Essay on the office and uses of the sea.


+Political Economy.+ Designed as a Text-Book for Colleges. By JOHN
BASCOM, A. M., Professor in Williams College. 12mo. pp. 366.    $1.50

“It goes over the whole ground in a logical order. The matter is
perspicuously arranged under distinct chapters and sections; it is a
compendious exhibition of the principles of the science without
prolonged disquisitions on particular points.” --_Princeton Review._

“This is a valuable work upon a subject of much interest. Professor
Bascom writes well, and his book makes an excellent manual.” --_Boston
Recorder._

“The book is worthy a careful study, both for the views it contains and
as a mental training.” --_Evening Express._


+Questions on Kühner’s Elementary Greek Grammar.+ By CHARLES W. BATEMAN,
LL.D.; with Modifications and Notes by SAMUEL H. TAYLOR, LL.D.,
Principal of Phillips Academy. 12mo. pp. 57. Paper covers.    40 cts.

These “Questions” are a valuable aid to the pupil in making his
knowledge of the principles of the Grammar more definite, and in fixing
them more permanently in his mind. They will also greatly aid the
teacher to systematize his work, and lighten the labor of teaching.
These “Questions,” though prepared with special reference to Kühner’s
Grammar, are equally applicable to any elementary Greek Grammar. They
are a valuable aid.


+Döderlein’s Hand-Book of Latin Synonymes.+ Translated by REV. H. H.
ARNOLD, B.A., with an Introduction by S. H. TAYLOR, LL.D. New Edition,
with an Index of Greek words. 16mo. pp. 267.    $1.25

“The present hand-book of Döderlein is remarkable for the brevity,
distinctness, perspicuity, and appositeness of its definitions. It will
richly reward not merely the classical, but the general student for the
labor he may devote to it. It is difficult to open the volume, even at
random, without discovering some hint which may be useful to a
theologian. . . . . . From the preceding extracts it will be seen that
this hand-book is useful in elucidating many Greek, as well as Latin
synonymes.” --_Bib. Sacra._

“The little volume mentioned above, introduced to the American public by
an eminent scholar and teacher, Samuel H. Taylor, LL.D., is one of the
best helps to the thorough appreciation of the nice shades of meaning in
Latin words that have met my eye. It deserves the attention of teachers
and learners, and will amply reward patient study.” --_Prof. E. D.
Sanborn._

“We have been acquainted for some years with the merits of this work,
and cordially commend it as one of the best manuals on Latin synonymes,
and admirably adapted to the wants of the student.” --_Evangelical
Review._

“It is well adapted to school purposes, and embraces all that is
necessary on this subject. He has often introduced also the nearest
corresponding expression both in the Greek and German languages, and
placed them side by side with the Latin synonyme.” --_Evening Express._

“We have no hesitation in saying that this is the best work on Latin
synonymes that has yet been published.” --_Universalist Quarterly._


+Classical Study:+ Its Usefulness illustrated by Selections from the
Writings of Eminent Scholars. Edited, with an Introduction, by SAMUEL H.
TAYLOR, LL.D., Principal of Phillips Academy. 12mo.    $2.00

Professor _J. R. Boise, of the University of Chicago_, thus writes in
the March number of the _Illinois Teacher_: “The selection of essays
made by Dr. Taylor is eminently judicious, and presents the views of
many leading writers, both in Europe and in this country. The
Introduction, containing about thirty pages, gives, first, a concise and
clear sketch of the history of the controversy on the value of classical
studies; and then, several reasons why the highest benefits of classical
study are seldom reached in this country. On this latter point, we know
of no one better qualified by education and long experience as a teacher
to speak wisely . . . . . To all who desire the best collection of
essays in our language on classical study, the work of Dr. Taylor
will be very welcome. It should have a conspicuous place in every
school-library, and in the private library of every educator in our land
. . . . . Not the least valuable part of the volume is the Introduction,
in which Dr. Taylor so ably, clearly, and fairly balances the arguments
on the two sides.”

“We commend the book as a valuable collection of essays on the higher
methods of mental training.” --_American Presbyterian._


+The Theology of the Greek Poets.+ By W. S. TYLER, Williston Professor
of Greek in Amherst College. 12mo. Cloth.    $1.75

“Professor Tyler has here produced a work which is an honor to American
literature. It is well fitted to be a classic in our Colleges and
Theological Seminaries. It furnishes admirable illustrations of the
truth of both natural and revealed theology, and suggests original
methods for the defence of these truths.” --_Bibliotheca Sacra._

“The book is an important contribution to natural theology. It traces
the relation of the theology of the Greek poets to that of Christ. Prof.
Tyler does his work with the mind of a master.” --_Zion’s Herald._


+The Kingdom of Christ on Earth:+ Twelve Lectures delivered before the
Students of the Theological Seminary, Andover. By SAMUEL HARRIS, Dwight
Professor of Systematic Theology in Yale College. 8vo.    $1.75

“These lectures are characterized by a firm grasp of the subject, by
profound and thorough comprehension of the facts and principles which it
involves, by a lucid and connected method, and a perspicuous and popular
style. The subject is of the very essence of the Christian system. The
specific views presented are judicious and sound. The student in
theology will find that a careful study of these lectures, pursued so
far as to bring the whole presentation into living and shaping relation
to his religious thought, will be of inestimable advantage to him in
clearing away mists and difficulties, in harmonizing and systematizing
his religious knowledge, in opening views into remoter fields of truth,
in guiding and quickening his mind generally in its contemplation of
religious truth.” --_The College Courant._


+_Works of William G. T. Shedd, recently Professor of Ecclesiastical
History in Andover Theol. Sem._+


+Discourses and Essays.+ 12mo. pp. 324.    $1.50

“These elaborate articles are written in a lucid and racy style, and
invest with a rare interest the themes of which they treat.” --_Bibliotheca Sacra._

“These Discourses are all marked by profound thought and perspicuity of
sentiment.” --_Princeton Review._

“These Essays are, every one of them, a rich treat for the thinkers, the
lovers of deep thought; of thought clothed in a strong, terse, stern,
clear expression.” --_Methodist Quarterly Review._

“Papers like these are worthy the deepest study and the warmest
admiration of the best minds; the entire volume is a storehouse from
which thoughts rich and truthful may be drawn.” --_Presbyterian
Quarterly._


+Lectures upon the Philosophy of History.+ 12mo.    75 cts.

“This volume consists of four Lectures, of which the following are the
titles: The Abstract Idea of History; The Nature and Definition of
Secular History; The Nature and Definition of Church History; The
Verifying Test in Church History. It is written in a lucid style, and
will interest the students of theology and of history.” --_Bibliotheca
Sacra._

“The style of these Lectures has striking merits. The author chooses his
words with rare skill and taste, from an ample vocabulary; and writes
with strength and refreshing simplicity.” --_New Englander._


+Outlines of a Systematic Rhetoric.+ From the German of DR. FRANCIS
THEREMIN, by W. G. T. SHEDD.    $1.00

“The Introductory Essay which Professor Shedd has prefixed to this
valuable Treatise, is elaborate, vigorous, impressive. It excites the
mind not only to thought, but also to the expression of thought--to
inward and outward activity. The whole volume is characterized by
freshness and originality of remark, a purity and earnestness of moral
feeling.” --_Bibliotheca Sacra._

“The subject is ably unfolded in this compact yet thorough treatise.
What, however, is exhibited by Theremin in a dry light, in the form of
naked philosophic statement, is displayed by Professor Shedd in his
Introductory Essay, with that glow of life, beauty, and force which
distinguishes his writings.” --_Princeton Review._


+Guericke’s Church History+ (Ancient Church; including the First Six
Centuries). 8vo.    $3.00

“Characterized by research, devoutness, firm grasp of evangelical truth,
and careful exhibition of the practical as well as the intellectual
aspects of Christianity.” --_North British Review._

“We regard Professor Shedd’s version as a happy specimen of the
_transfusion_, rather than a _translation_, which many of the German
treatises should receive. The style of his version is far superior to
that of the original.” --_Bibliotheca Sacra._


+Guericke’s Church History--Mediæval Church.+    $1.50

“This portion of Guericke’s Church History continues the account down to
A.D. 1073, when Hildebrand ascended the Papal chair as Gregory VII. With
the previous volume, this addition comprises the History of the Church
during the first ten centuries.”


+Remarks on the Internal Evidence for the Truth of Revealed Religion.+
By THOMAS ERSKINE, Esq., Advocate. Third American, from Fifth Edinburgh
Ed. 16mo.    75 cts.

“The entire treatise cannot fail to commend the positions which it
advocates to intelligent and considerate minds. It is one of the best,
perhaps the best, of all the discussions of this momentous
subject.” --_Congregationalist._

“This argument of Erskine for the Internal Evidence of the Truth of
Revealed Religion, is the most compact, natural, and convincing we have
ever read from any author.” --_Christian Chronicle._

“No man ought to consider himself as having studied theology unless he
has read and pondered and read again ‘Erskine on the Internal
Evidence.’” --_Independent._


+_Writings of Archbishop Whately._+ Published under the sanction of the
author, from the latest revised editions; viz.


+Essays on some of the Difficulties in the Writings of St. Paul.+ 12mo.
Cloth extra, gilt tops.    $1.50

“Dr. Whately’s writings are characterized by sound thought and solid
judgment. Clear and solid sense is his peculiar characteristic. He is
often ingenious, generally candid, almost always plain and
transparent.” --_Bibliotheca Sacra._

“An excellent work.” --_New York Evangelist._

“The Archbishop’s writings are a part of the sterling theological
letters of the age, and ought to be possessed by all the studious and
thoughtful.” --_Journal and Messenger._

“This book had passed through at least eight editions in England before
its publication in this country. Dr. Whately is always entitled to a
hearing. Never profound, he is always clear; never very original, he is
always instructive; never disgustingly dogmatic, he always seems to feel
a serene assurance that he has exhausted the whole subject, and that his
verdict is final; always positive and didactic, he is yet never extreme,
but always takes the middle and moderate view.” --_Watchman and
Reflector._


+Essays on some of the Pecularities of the Christian Religion, and
Historic Doubts concerning Napoleon.+ 12mo. pp. 264 and 48. Bound in 1
vol. Cloth extra, gilt tops.    $1.50

+Historic Doubts concerning Napoleon.+ 12mo. Paper covers, 25 cents;
cloth, 50 cents.

About the year 1821 Whately published this Essay anonymously. It was
designed as an answer to Hume’s objections to the credibility of the
Christian miracles. Following Hume’s method, Whately gravely argued the
improbability of the existence of the first Napoleon, and demonstrated
that, on Hume’s principles, the testimony in relation thereto could not
be credited.

_Errors and Inconsistencies_ (noted by transcriber)

The brackets around footnotes 2 and 3 are in the original. Some short
entries--generally cross-references--were printed two to a line; they
have been separated for this e-text.

In English, the spelling “Synonymes” is used consistently _except_ in
the paragraph introducing the Greek word list. In Latin, variation
between “æ” (ae) and “œ” (oe) is unchanged except in cases of
unambiguous error such as plural endings.

Missing punctuation at line-end--that is, adjacent to the right
margin--has been silently supplied. Other errors are listed below.
Unless otherwise noted, the number and spacing of ellipses ... is as in
the original.
