See the Note below, and cf. {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent or not. Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft. Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they are insoluble and useless. The purifying action of soap depends upon the fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of water into free alkali and an insoluble acid salt. The first of these takes away the fatty dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus tends to remove it. --Roscoe & Schorlemmer. {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled, made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles, [or] Venetian, soap}. {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of different ingredients and color, which are hard and compact.

(Bot.) See {Quillaia bark}. {Soap bubble}, a hollow iridescent globe, formed by blowing a film of soap suds from a pipe; figuratively, something attractive, but extremely unsubstantial. This soap bubble of the metaphysicians. --J. C. Shairp. {Soap cerate}, a cerate formed of soap, olive oil, white wax, and the subacetate of lead, sometimes used as an application to allay inflammation. {Soap fat}, the refuse fat of kitchens, slaughter houses, etc., used in making soap. {Soap liniment} (Med.), a liniment containing soap, camphor, and alcohol. {Soap nut}, the hard kernel or seed of the fruit of the soapberry tree, -- used for making beads, buttons, etc. {Soap plant} (Bot.), one of several plants used in the place of soap, as the {Chlorogalum pomeridianum}, a California plant, the bulb of which, when stripped of its husk and rubbed on wet clothes, makes a thick lather, and smells not unlike new brown soap. It is called also {soap apple}, {soap bulb}, and {soap weed}. {Soap tree}. (Bot.) Same as {Soapberry tree}. {Soda soap}, a soap containing a sodium salt. The soda soaps are all hard soaps. {Soft soap}, a soap of a gray or brownish yellow color, and of a slimy, jellylike consistence, made from potash or the lye from wood ashes. It is strongly alkaline and often contains glycerin, and is used in scouring wood, in cleansing linen, in dyehouses, etc. Figuratively, flattery; wheedling; blarney.

Sublimity \Sub*lim"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Sublimities}. [L. sublimitas: cf. F. sublimit[82].] 1. The quality or state of being sublime (in any sense of the adjective). 2. That which is sublime; as, the sublimities of nature. Syn: Grandeur; magnificence. Usage: {Sublimity}, {Grandeur}. The mental state indicated by these two words is the same, namely, a mingled emotion of astonishment and awe. In speaking of the quality which produces this emotion, we call it grandeur when it springs from what is vast in space, power, etc.; we call it sublimity when it springs from what is elevated far above the ordinary incidents of humanity. An immense plain is grand. The heavens are not only grand, but sublime (as the predominating emotion), from their immense height. Exalted intellect, and especially exalted virtue under severe trials, give us the sense of moral sublimity, as in the case of our Savior in his prayer for his murderers. We do not speak of Satan, when standing by the fiery gulf, with his [bd]unconquerable will and study of revenge,[b8] as a sublime object; but there is a melancholy grandeur thrown around him, as of an [bd]archangel ruined.[b8] | |
