1913 Definition
Shining (shining)
a.(?)
Shin"ing
  1. Emitting light, esp. in a continuous manner; radiant; as, shining lamps; also, bright by the reflection of light; as, shining armor.
    "Fish . . . with their fins and shining scales." Milton.
  2. Splendid; illustrious; brilliant; distinguished; conspicious; as, a shining example of charity.
  3. Having the surface smooth and polished; -- said of leaves, the surfaces of shells, etc.

    Syn. -- Glistening; bright; radiant; resplendent; effulgent; lustrous; brilliant; glittering; splendid; illustrious. -- Shining, Brilliant, Sparking. Shining describes the steady emission of a strong light, or the steady reflection of light from a clear or polished surface. Brilliant denotes a shining of great brightness, but with gleams or flashes. Sparkling implies a fitful, intense shining from radiant points or sparks, by which the eye is dazzled. The same distinctions obtain when these epithets are figuratively applied. A man of shining talents is made conspicious by possessing them; if they flash upon the mind with a peculiarly striking effect, we call them brilliant; if his brilliancy is marked by great vivacity and occasional intensity, he is sparkling.

    True paradise . . . inclosed with shining rock. Milton.

    Some in a brilliant buckle bind her waist,
    Some round her neck a circling light display.     Gay.

    His sparkling blade about his head he blest. Spenser.

  4. Emission or reflection of light.

Noah Says...
The brief exposition of the constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government; and it is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion.
