In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. Preface to 1828 Dictionary

GRIMA'CE, n.
A distortion of the countenance, whether habitual,
from affectation, or momentary and occasional, to express some
feeling, as contempt, disapprobation, complacency, etc.; a smirk; a
made-up face.
[1913 Webster] Moving his face into such a hideous grimace, that
every feature of it appeared under a different
distortion. Addison. * "Half the French words used affectedly by Melantha in
Dryden's "Marriage a-la-Mode," as innovations in our language,
are now in common use: chagrin, double-entendre,
éclaircissement, embarras,
équivoque, foible, grimace,
naïvete, ridicule. All these words, which she
learns by heart to use occasionally, are now in common use." I.
Disraeli. To make grimaces;
to distort one's face; to make faces.
H. Martineau. | ||||||||
