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

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 struesque 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.

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.)

ÆQUUS ANIMUS, see Satis habere.

AER, see Anima.

ÆRARIUM; FISCUS. +Ærarium+ is ‘the public treasury;’ +fiscus+ (from πίθος, πιθάκνη), ‘the imperial treasury.’ Tac. Ann. vi. 2. Bona Sejani ablata ærario, ut in fiscum cogerentur; tanquam referret! (vi. 10.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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 with one’s hand, as nurses, etc.; +pascere+ (from πάσασθαι), only to give out food, as a feeder or master. Suet. Tib. 72.

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 upwards; thence, figuratively, ‘proud;’ +excelsus+ and +præcelsus+, what 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.)

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.

(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.)

H. N. xii. 1; on the other hand, +prohibere+ means to keep at a distance, and prevent the approach, in opp. to adhibere.

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.

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.)

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.

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.)

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.

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.)

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.)

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.

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.)

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.

All these beings form an opposition against the +Dii+ and +Fatum+, which do not bring about or prevent events from caprice or arbitrary will, but according to higher laws; and the gods, indeed, according to the intelligible laws of morality, according to merit and worth, right and equity; +fatum+, according to the mysterious laws by which the universe is eternally governed, like εἱμαρμένη, μοῖρα.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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 ignavæ voluptates quam Othonis flagrantissimæ libidines timebantur. (v. 60.)

Tranq. 15; 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.)

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 display, in short, of malice; +nefas+ (ἄφατον) is an offence against the gods, or against nature, by blasphemy, sacrilege, murder of kindred, betrayal of one’s country; in short, by the display of impietas, an impious outrage.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.)

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.)

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.)

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.

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.)

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 conformity to which one resolves to give utterance to a secret thought, in opp. to reticere, like profiteri; lastly, +pronuntiare+, a physical act, by which one utters any thing, whether thought of, or written mechanically by the organs of speech, and makes it heard, like recitare. +Pronuntiare+, however, is a simple act of the organs of speech, and aims merely at being fully heard; +recitare+ is an act of refined art, and aims by just modulation, according to the laws of declamation, to make a pleasing impression. +Pronuntiatio+ relates only to single letters, syllables, and words, as the elements and body of speech, whereas +recitatio+ relates both to the words and to their import, as the spirit of speech.

EMINENS; EXCELLENS; PRÆCLARUS; PRÆSTANS; INSIGNIS; SINGULARIS; UNICUS. 1. +Eminens+, +excellens+, +præclarus+, and +præstans+, involve a quiet acknowledgment of superiority; whereas +egregius+, with an expression of enthusiasm, like glorious; +eximius+, with an expression of admiration, like excellent. 2. +Eximius+, &c. relate altogether to good qualities, like superior, and can be connected with vices and faults only in irony; whereas +insignis+, +singularis+, and +unicus+, are indifferent, and serve as well to heighten blame as praise, like distinguished, matchless.

Sen. Ep. 85. Cato censorius canterio vehebatur et hippoperis quidem impositis. Oh quantum decus sæculi! Catonem uno caballo esse contentum, et ne toto quidem!

Pacuv. Nisi insita ferocitate atque ferocia. Tac. Ann. xi. 19. Nos virtutem auximus, barbari ferociam infregere: and ii. 25. (i. 44.)

FERRE; PORTARE; BAJULARE; GERERE. 1. +Ferre+ means, like φέρειν, to carry any thing portable from one place to another; +portare+ and +bajulare+, like βαστάζειν, to carry a load; +portare+ (from πορίζειν), for one’s self, or for others; +bajulare+, as a porter.

As, then, +bellum ferre+ means only either inferre bellum or tolerare, so +bellum gerere+ has a synonymous meaning with habere, and is applicable only to the whole people, or to their 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 conduct the war. Bellum geret populus Romanus, administrat consul, capessit miles. (i. 150.)

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. H. N. xxvi. 21. Qui perpeti medicinam non toleraverant. Tac. Ann. iii. 3.

Prov. 4. a. f. (iii. 293.)

Liv. ii. 45. Consules magis non confidere quam non credere suis militibus; the former with reference to their valor, the latter with reference to their fidelity. 2. +Fidere+, etc., denote trust as a feeling; +committere+, +permittere+, as an action; the committens acts in good trust in the power and will of another, whereby he imposes upon him a moral responsibility; to intrust; the permittens acts to get rid of the 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 commissus sit fidei, permissus potestati. Verr. i. 32. v. 14. (v. 259.)

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.)

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.)

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.

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.)

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.)

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.

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.)

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

Phil. iii. 2. 2. +Gratias agere+ is the usual; +grates agere+, a select and solemn form of speech. Cic. Somn. Grates tibi ago, summe Sol, vobisque reliqui cœlites. 3. In the same manner +gratulari+ denotes an occasional expression of thanks without oblation, and a congratulation without formality, whereas +gratari+, a solemn thanksgiving, or congratulation. Liv. vii. 3. Jovis templum gratantes ovantesque adire: comp. with Ter. Heaut. v. 1, 6. Desine deos gratulando obtundere. (ii. 213.)

GRATUS; JUCUNDUS; ACCEPTUS; GRATIOSUS. 1. +Gratum+ (from κεχαρῆσθαι) means that which is acceptable only in reference to its value with us, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.)

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.)

Plin. H. N. x. 63. Tac. Dial. 33. Suet. Claud. 3. Cic. Fr. ap. Non. Perge, quæso, nec enim imperite exorsus es. 2. +Cœpi+ has 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.

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.

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.

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 . . .

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.

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.

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.)

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.)

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 as in the open road, to a given point; +semita+ (from secare, segmen), a foot-path, which often runs by the side of the high-road, like οἶμος; +callis+ (from κέλευθος) a path over a mountain or through a wood, which is scarcely passable except for cattle, like ἀτραπός.

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.)

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.)

Plin. Ep. ix. 33. 3. Pueri quos otium ludusque 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.

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.

Si ista vera sunt, ratio omnis tollitur quasi quædam lux lumenque 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.)

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+ (ἄσις) in opp. to usus, in consequence of long disuse, for example, through mould, rust, etc., like ἄζη. Hence the different forms of the adjectives lutosus, limosus, cœnosus, that is, full of lutum, etc.; and of sordidus, squalidus, pædidus, that is, resembling sordes, etc., and in circumlocution, oblitus luto, limo, cœno, but obsitus, sordibus, squalore, pædore. 2. +Stercus+ (from τάργανον) denotes in dung its disgusting sense, as filth, like κόπρος; whereas +fimus+ (opimus?) in its useful sense, as manure. 3.

(iii. 228.)

Med. viii. 1. 2. +Mala+ denotes the cheek as a usual expression, and in a merely physiological sense; +gena+ (from γένυς) as a more ancient and select expression, and with an æsthetic reference. (vi. 208.)

MALEDICTUM; PROBRUM; CONVICIUM. +Maledictum+ is any utterance of what is injurious to another, whether to bring him ill-luck by cursing, or disgrace by verbal injuries, like κακηγορία; +probrum+ (from προφέρω) an invective, like ὄνειδος, consisting of attacks and assertions wounding the honor of another; +convicium+ (καταικία) the abusive word, like λοιδορία, consisting of single words and appellations wounding the honor of another. For example, fur! is a convicium, fur es, a probrum; each of them a maledictum. (iv. 198.)

MALEFACTUM, MALEFICIUM, see Delictum.

MALITIA; MALIGNITAS; MALEVOLENTIA; MALUS; NEQUAM; PRAVUS. 1. +Malitia+ denotes the baseness which shows itself in the love of lying and deceiving, from want of conscience; +malignitas+, the ill-will which grudges good to another, and wishes it only to itself, from pure selfishness; +malevolentia+, the ill-will which wishes evil to another rather than good, from personal aversion. +Malitia+ is a way of thinking and acting deserving of punishment as endangering the security of society; +malignitas+ is a despicable disposition, which implies the want of philanthropy; lastly, +malevolentia+, a detestable quality, as connected with deriving pleasure from the misfortunes of others. 2. +Malus homo+ is a morally bad man, but +nequam+ a good-for-nothing man, whose faultiness shows itself in aversion to useful labor, and a propensity to roguish tricks, in opp. to frugi. Plaut. Pseud, i. 5. 53. Cic. Font. 13. Or. ii. 61. Fin. ii. 8. Sen. Contr. iii. 21; +pravus+ (πέραῖος) a man whose character has taken a vicious direction, in a physical, or intellectual, or moral point of view in opp. to rectus. Plaut. Bacch. iii. 3, 8. Cic.

MALIGNITAS, see Invidia.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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 missuque 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.)

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.

Virg. Æn. vi. 549. Mœnia lata videt triplici circumdata muro. And Flor. i. 4. Vitruv. viii. 4. Tac. Ann. xv. 43.

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.

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.

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.

Circa ripam fluminis Padi et litora maris Adriatici. Colum. i. 5. Ovid, Met. i. 42. 2. +Litus+ denotes the shore only as the line which separates the land from the sea, as the strand, like ἠϊών and ῥηγμίν; whereas +ora+ and +acta+, as the space and tract of land that borders on the sea, as the coast, like ἀκτή and αἰγιαλός; +ora+ (ὤα, οὖρος,) only in geographical reference to 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, quæ per litus extenditur. Hence litoris ora, that is, ora per litus 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 secreti in litoris acta. Cic. Fam. ix. 6. Ea tractes quorum et usus et delectatio est omnibus illis actis et voluptatibus anteponenda. Acta is a foreign word of Greek extraction, which Tacitus (Hist. iii. 76.) expresses by the circumlocution amœna litorum. (iii. 207.)

RITUS, see Consuetudo.

RIVALITAS, see Imitatio.

RIXA, see Disceptatio.

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.

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. Sen. Clem. 2. Cic. Lig. 3. Att. viii. 9. Plin. Pan. 3.

SALUS; SANITAS; VALENS; SALUBER; SANUS; SALUTARIS. 1. +Salus+ denotes existence in general, in opp. to interitus; whereas +sanitas+, the health of the person existing, in opp. to ægritudo; first of the body, then, in a higher degree, of the soul. 2. +Sanus+ and +valens+ denote 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.)

Verba Fabii salutem incolumitatemque Viennensium commendantis; salus refers to being killed, incolumitas to being plundered: comp. with Cic. Orat. iii. 45, 178. Dejot. 15.

Ep. 109. Debet esse optatus ad hujus modi gustum, ut ille tali sapore capiatur. 2. The +libans+ puts only a small portion of any 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 libatos illius ore dapes. (iii. 125.)

SARMENTUM, see Rami.

SATELLES; STIPATOR. +Satelles+ (from στέλλω) denotes an attendant, as a hired servant; +stipator+ (from στῖφος) as a guard. Cic. Rull. ii. 13. Ex equestri loco ducentos in singulos annos stipatores corporis constituit, eosdem ministros et satellites potestatis. (vi. 318.)

Liv. iv. 22. Frumentum non necessitati satis, sed copiæ quoque abunde ex ante confecto sufficiebat. 2. +Satiare+ denotes satisfying, as the appeasing of a want generally, of hunger, of a longing, etc.; whereas +saturare+, as the appeasing of an unnatural craving, of an over-eager longing, or a voracious hunger, of hatred, of the thirst for blood.

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.

SERIUS; SEVERUS. +Severus+ (αὐηρός) means, actively, one who cuts no 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.

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.

Liv. ii. 52. Tribuni plebem agitare suo veneno, agraria lege; comp. with Cic. Læl. 23. Evomat virus acerbitatis suæ. (v. 355.)

TRABES; TIGNUM. +Trabes+, +trabs+ (τράφηξ) denotes a longer and narrower beam, like a pole; +tignum+, a shorter and thicker beam, like a block. 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 injecerunt, quibus suspenderent eam contignationem supraque ea tigna directo transversas trabes injecerunt easque axibus religaverunt.

The separation denoted by +ultra+ is merely that of a boundary; the 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.)

TUERI; DEFENDERE. +Tueri+ (from στοχάζεσθαι) supposes only possible 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 to prevent danger; the defendens, more of spirit and strength, as resisting danger. (iv. 307.)

TUMERE, see Turgere.

TUMULUS, see Collis.

TURBA, see Caterva.

TURBÆ; TUMULTUS; SEDITIO; SECESSIO; DEFICERE; DESCISCERE. +Turbæ+ and +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.)

TURBO, see Ventus.

TURGERE; TUMERE. +Turgere+ (τραγᾷν) denotes being swoln, with reference 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. Ep. 100. Fabianus non erat negligens in oratione, sed securus. (iii. 120.)

UDUS; UVIDUS; HUMIDUS; AQUOSUS; MADIDUS. 1. +Uvidum+ and +udum+ (ὑάς, vadum, from ὕω, uveo) denote, like ὑγρόν, the wetness which consists entirely of water or other fluid particles, whether actually, 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 the shoulder to the hand, which serves as a measure, an ell; +lacertus+ (ἀλκή) the upper arm; +brachium+ (βράγχιον, βραχίων), the under-arm; +cubitus+, the bending between the two, the elbow. (vi. 383.)

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.)

H. N. xiv. 21, like σθεναρός; whereas +firmus+ and +robustus+, in a passive sense, as able to endure; +firmum+ (from φράξαι, φάργνυμι), strong from an immovable position, 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 imbecillitate animi omnem Galliam prosternere; comp. with iv. 5. Cæsar infirmitatem Gallorum veritus, quod sunt in consiliis capiendis mobiles et rebus plerumque novis student. Or, Cic. Divin. ii. 60, with Fam. xv. 1. Or, Tac. Ann. iv. 8, with Hist. i. 9. (iv. 164.)

VALLUM, see Agger.

VALLUS, see Stipes.

VALVÆ, see Ostium.

VARIUS; DIVERSUS; CONTRARIUS; VERSICOLOR; VARIEGARE. 1. +Varium+ (from αἰόλος) means, possessing differences in its own texture, varied; whereas +diversum+, differing from something else, distinct. Catull. 47, 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. v. 10, 26. 3. +Varium+ denotes variegated, as exhibiting different colors at the same time, like ποικίλον; whereas +versicolor+, that which changes its color, according to the light in which it is held, like αἰόλον. Propert. iii. 13, 32. Aut variam plumæ versicoloris avem.

(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.)

WARREN F. DRAPER, PUBLISHER AND BOOKSELLER,

+ANDOVER, MASS.,+

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.

+COMMENTARY ON EPHESIANS.+ 8vo. pp. 190. $1.50.

+COMMENTARY ON THESSALONIANS.+ 8vo. pp. 171. $1.50.

+COMMENTARY ON THE PASTORAL EPISTLES.+ 8vo. $2.00.

+COMMENTARY ON PHILIPPIANS, COLOSSIANS, AND PHILEMON.+ $2.00.

THE SET in five vols., on fine paper, extra cloth, bevelled, gilt tops. $10.00. THE SET in two vols., black cloth $8.00.

+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.

+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.

+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.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit https://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

https://www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
