From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Dyslogistic \Dys`logis"tic\, a. [Gr. [?] ill, bad, + [?] discourse, fr. [?] to speak.] Unfavorable; not commendatory; -- opposed to {eulogistic}. There is no course of conduct for which dyslogistic* or eulogistic epithets may be found. --J. F. Stephen. The paternity of dyslogistic -- no bantling, but now almost a centenarian -- is adjudged to that genius of common sense, Jeremy Bentham. --Fitzed. Hall.
