The grim logician puts them in a fright.

Dryden. The Hind and the Panther. The honest man employs his wit as correctly as his logic. Warburton. Dedication to the Free-Thinkers, (1788.)

A process of logical reasoning has been often likened to a chain supporting a weight. Stewart. Of the Human Mind, vol. ii. c. 1. s. 1. Even when one proposition in natural philosophy is logically deducible from another, it may frequently be expedient, in communicating the elements of the science, to illustrate and confirm the consequence, as well as the prin ciple, by experiment.-Id.

Bp. Ifall. Answer to Smeclymnuus's Vindication. LOGOTHETE. Gr. Λογοθέτης, λογος, and OETNs, from T10Eolar, to put or place, to dispose. For the application, see the example.

In the ancient system of Constantine, the name of logothete, or accountant, was applied to the receivers of the finances: the principal officers were distinguished as the logolhetes of the domain, of the posts, the army, the private and public treasure; and the great logothete, the supreme guardian of the laws and revenues, is compared with the chancellor of the Latin Monarchies. Gibbon. Roman Empire, c. 53.

LOLL, v. To loll out one's tongue, (i. e.) LILL, V. exerere linguam, perhaps from the Dut. Zelle, lelleken van de tongde, pars linguæ anterior, to thrust forth the front part of the tongue, (Skinner.) To loll appears to mean, generally,

The king hearing of this his demeanor, was so highly offended withall, that he sent to the Londoners, willing them to go thither and fetch him to his presence. Holinshed. Hen. III. an. 1232.

To confine myself to the subject-which is, to shew that

the humble and accepted dialect of London, the Londonisms as I may call them, are far from being reproachable in themselves, however they may appear to us not born within the sound of Bow-bells.-Pegge. Anec. of the English Language.

Spenser. Faerie Queene, b. vi. c. 2.

A. S. Langian; Ger. Langen; Sw. Langia. The same word as the preceding, differently applied. "When we consider (says Tooke) that we express a moderate desire for any thing, by saying that we incline (i. c. bend ourselves) to it; will it surprise us that we should express an cager desire by saying that we long, i. c. make long, lengthen, or stretch ourselves after it, for it? especially when we observe, that after the verb to incline we say to or towards; but after the verb to long, we must use either the word for or after, in order to convey our meaning." The quotation from Dryden singularly combines the literal and metaphorical usage.

To lengthen, to stretch or reach out for, (with earnestness, with eagerness;) and, consequentially, to desire eagerly, to wish for earnestly.

A long on me, long on you, are equivalent toSee ALONG. produced by me, produced by you.

Id. Taming of the Shrew, Act i. sc. 1. The fire, meantime, walks in a broader gross; To either hand his wings he opens wide: He wades the streets, and straight he reaches cross, And plays his longing flames on th' other side.

Dryden. Annus Mirabilis, s. 233.

But when to give our minds a feast indeed,
Horace, best known and lov'd by thee, we read,
Who can our transports or our longings tell,
To taste of pleasures, prais'd by him so well?

Churchill. The Apology. Goth. Lagg, (pronounced lang;) A. S. Lang, long; Dut. Langh, lanck; Ger. Lang; Fr. Long; Sw. Long; It. Lungo; Sp. Luengo; Lat. Longus. Wachter derives from langen, trahere; and Tooke asserts lang or long to be the preterperfect of the A. S. verb Leng-ian, to long, to make long, to lengthen, to stretch out, to produce; and that no other derivation can be found for Lat. Longus;-Long, i. e. extended, is opposed to short; i. e. shear❜d or sher'd, cut off. See LENGTH.

Dan Bartholomew of Bathe. It will soon put us either to shame, or at least to consider whether there be no command in our religion, of suffering injuries, of patience, of longanimity, of forgiveness, of doing good for evil.-Bp. Taylor. Rule of Conscience, b. iii. c. 2.

It had overcome the patience of Job as it did the meeknesse of Moses, and would surely have mastered any, but the longanimity and lasting sufferance of God.
