Its name of `grey moose' is a hunter appellation, to distinguish it from the real moose, which the same hunters know as the `black moose. `Round-horned elk' is also a hunter name. `Wewaskish, or `waskesse, is an Indian name for the animal. `Stag' comes from the European deer so called, because this species somewhat resembles the stag; and `red deer' is a name used by the Hudson Bay traders. `Le biche' is another synonyme of French authors.
One strong, old-fashioned, English word, familiar to all who read their Bibles, is changed for a softer synonyme in some passages, and suffered to stand unaltered in others. In one place a faint allusion made by Johnson to an indelicate subject, an allusion so faint that, till Mr.
If the author has broken ground in the direction of a new type of heroine, the reviewer, by the conditions of his calling, is all but obliged to say that here is one of those enchanting girls whom the author in question has endeared to generations of readers; or one of those tedious prudes for whom his name is a synonyme.
Intermediately, however, we have to observe how two pre-eminent disciples of the Cartesian school have perverted the fundamental proposition of their great master by treating its converse as its synonyme. Descartes having demonstrated that all thought is existence, Bishop Berkeley and Professor Huxley infer that all existence is thought.
Had she foreseen the form which devoted attachment assumes for such dreamers; had she measured the entire and absolute absorption which they will alone accept as the synonyme of tenderness? It is necessary to be in some degree shy, shrinking, and secretive as they themselves are, to be able to understand the hidden depths of characters so concentrated.
Corporal Lambkin now introduced his man, a German, with the highest compliment in his power, "He hab true colored-man heart." Surrounded by mean, cajoling, insinuating white men and women who were all that and worse, I was quite ready to appreciate the quality he thus proclaimed. A colored-man heart, in the Rebel States, is a fair synonyme for a loyal heart, and it is about the only such synonyme.
"What are the names?" pleasantly asked Mademoiselle Viefville; "the names may be a clue to the characters." "The papers pinned to the bed-curtains bear the antithetical titles of Mr. Sharp and Mr. Blunt; though it is quite probable the first is wanting of a letter or two by accident, and the last is merely a synonyme of the old nom de guerre 'Cash."
After La Salle and the Governor had lost credit by the rupture, the Jesuits would come forward as pacificators, in the full assurance that they could restore quiet, and appear in the attitude of saviors of the colony. I have found no mention elsewhere of the synonyme of Solycoeur. Poisoning was the current crime of the day; and persons of the highest rank had repeatedly been charged with it.
Of the historic admirals of that navy, few had failed to reach a captaincy in their twenties. Per contra, I was told the following anecdote by an officer of our service whose name was and is, for he still lives a synonyme for personal activity and professional seamanship, but who waited his fourteen years for a lieutenancy.
Food, in its largest sense, is whatever helps to build up the normal structures, or to maintain their natural actions. Medicine, in distinction from food, is every unnatural or noxious agent applied for the relief of disease. Physic means properly the Natural art, and Physician is only the Greek synonyme of Naturalist.
