1828 Definition

SAL'LY, n. [See the Verb.] In a general sense, a spring; a darting or shooting. Hence,

1. An issue or rushing of troops from a besieged place to attack the besiegers.

2. A spring or darting of intellect, fancy or imagination; flight; sprightly exertion. We say, sallies of wit, sallies of imagination.

3. Excursion from the usual track; range.

He who often makes sallies into a country, and traverses it up and down, will know it better than one that goes always round in the same track.

4. Act of levity or extravagance; wild gaiety; frolic; a bounding or darting beyond ordinary rules; as a sally of youth; a sally of levity.

SAL'LY, v.i. [L. salio. Gr. to impel, to shoot. See Solar, from L. sol. Gr.]

1. To issue or rush out, as a body of troops from a fortified place to attack besiegers.

They break the truce, and sally out by night.

2. To issue suddenly; to make a sudden eruption.

Noah Says...
The Bible is the Chief moral cause of all that is good, and the best corrector of all that is evil, in human society; the best book for regulating the temporal concerns of men, and the only book that can serve as an infallible guide.
