It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |
INFIN'ITY, n. [L. infinitas.]
Unlimited extent of time, space, or
quantity; eternity; boundlessness; immensity.
Sir T.
More.
There can not be more infinities than one; for one of them would limit the other. Sir W. Raleigh. Unlimited capacity, energy, excellence, or
knowledge; as, the infinity of God and his perfections.
Hooker. Endless or indefinite number; great
multitude; as an infinity of beauties.
Broome.
A quantity greater than any
assignable quantity of the same kind.
* Mathematically considered, infinity is always a limit of a variable quantity, resulting from a particular supposition made upon the varying element which enters it. Davies *** Peck (Math. Dict.). That part of a line, or of
a plane, or of space, which is infinitely distant. In modern
geometry, parallel lines or planes are sometimes treated as lines or
planes meeting at infinity.
Circle at infinity, an imaginary circle at infinity, through which, in geometry of three dimensions, every sphere is imagined to pass. -- Circular points at infinity. See under Circular. | ||||||||
