In the first place, the word is of comparatively late origin. It does not occur in the Hebrew writers of the Old Testament. St. Paul certainly uses the word once in the Epistle to the Romans, and though known in the latter days before the advent of Christianity, we may assume that mainly through that religion the word was popularised throughout the world.
Radcliffe that following the taste for the picturesque which, starting from Gray and popularised by Gilpin, was spreading over the country she did attempt to introduce this important feature, and did partly, in a rococo way, succeed in introducing it. As for plot, that has never been our strong point we seem to have been contented with Tom Jones as payment in full of that demand.
All this, of course, has been greatly promoted by column after column of advertisement in magazines and lay newspapers; but we are compelled to admit that the medical profession cannot be held free from some amount of blame in the matter or from some responsibility for the way in which drugs have lately been popularised and brought into common use as articles of domestic consumption.
The scholarly method has now been applied for many years, and what are the results?

Before the bookstall in the entrance to the Café Royal, Paul stood on the following night, with Jules Thessaly and Don. "I shall never cease to regret Kirchner," said Thessaly. "He popularised thin legs, and so many women have them.
I prefer, both as less popularised and as more unique still, the following most business-like plan and programme of an elopement. Like Mr. Foker's fight with the post-boy it "didn't come off" as first planned; but Fortune favoured it later. I writ you a letter last night in some passion. I begin to fear again; I own myself a coward. You made no reply to one part of my letter concerning my fortune.
Kawi literature, popularised by translation, and familiar through the medium of national drama, interprets Javanese creeds and traditions.
