From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   At \At\, prep. [AS. [91]t; akin to OHG. az, Goth., OS., & Icel.
      at, Sw. [86]t, Dan. & L. ad.]
      Primarily, this word expresses the relations of presence,
      nearness in place or time, or direction toward; as, at the
      ninth hour; at the house; to aim at a mark. It is less
      definite than in or on; at the house may be in or near the
      house. From this original import are derived all the various
      uses of at. It expresses:
  
      1. A relation of proximity to, or of presence in or on,
            something; as, at the door; at your shop; at home; at
            school; at hand; at sea and on land.
  
      2. The relation of some state or condition; as, at war; at
            peace; at ease; at your service; at fault; at liberty; at
            risk; at disadvantage.
  
      3. The relation of some employment or action; occupied with;
            as, at engraving; at husbandry; at play; at work; at meat
            (eating); except at puns.
  
      4. The relation of a point or position in a series, or of
            degree, rate, or value; as, with the thermometer at
            80[deg]; goods sold at a cheap price; a country estimated
            at 10,000 square miles; life is short at the longest.
  
      5. The relations of time, age, or order; as, at ten o'clock;
            at twenty-one; at once; at first.
  
      6. The relations of source, occasion, reason, consequence, or
            effect; as, at the sight; at this news; merry at anything;
            at this declaration; at his command; to demand, require,
            receive, deserve, endure at your hands.
  
      7. Relation of direction toward an object or end; as, look at
            it; to point at one; to aim at a mark; to throw, strike,
            shoot, wink, mock, laugh at any one.
  
      {At all}, {At home}, {At large}, {At last}, {At length}, {At
      once}, etc. See under {All}, {Home}, {Large}, {Last} (phrase
            and syn.), {Length}, {Once}, etc.
  
      {At it}, busily or actively engaged.
  
      {At least}. See {Least} and {However}.
  
      {At one}. See {At one}, in the Vocabulary.
  
      Syn: {In}, {At}.
  
      Usage: When reference to the interior of any place is made
                  prominent in is used. It is used before the names of
                  countries and cities (esp. large cities); as, we live
                  in America, in New York, in the South. At is commonly
                  employed before names of houses, institutions,
                  villages, and small places; as, Milton was educated at
                  Christ's College; money taken in at the Customhouse; I
                  saw him at the jeweler's; we live at Beachville. At
                  may be used before the name of a city when it is
                  regarded as a mere point of locality. [bd]An English
                  king was crowned at Paris.[b8] --Macaulay. [bd]Jean
                  Jacques Rousseau was born at Geneva, June, 28,

                  the hour, on the day, in the year; as, at 9 o'clock,
                  on the morning of July 5th, in the year 1775.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Will \Will\, n. [OE. wille, AS. willa; akin to OFries. willa,
      OS. willeo, willio, D. wil, G. wille, Icel. vili, Dan.
      villie, Sw. vilja, Goth wilja. See {Will}, v.]
      1. The power of choosing; the faculty or endowment of the
            soul by which it is capable of choosing; the faculty or
            power of the mind by which we decide to do or not to do;
            the power or faculty of preferring or selecting one of two
            or more objects.
  
                     It is necessary to form a distinct notion of what is
                     meant by the word [bd]volition[b8] in order to
                     understand the import of the word will, for this
                     last word expresses the power of mind of which
                     [bd]volition[b8] is the act.               --Stewart.
  
                     Will is an ambiguous word, being sometimes put for
                     the faculty of willing; sometimes for the act of
                     that faculty, besides [having] other meanings. But
                     [bd]volition[b8] always signifies the act of
                     willing, and nothing else.                  --Reid.
  
                     Appetite is the will's solicitor, and the will is
                     appetite's controller; what we covet according to
                     the one, by the other we often reject. --Hooker.
  
                     The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses
                     anything.                                          --J. Edwards.
  
      2. The choice which is made; a determination or preference
            which results from the act or exercise of the power of
            choice; a volition.
  
                     The word [bd]will,[b8] however, is not always used
                     in this its proper acceptation, but is frequently
                     substituted for [bd]volition[b8], as when I say that
                     my hand mover in obedience to my will. --Stewart.
  
      3. The choice or determination of one who has authority; a
            decree; a command; discretionary pleasure.
  
                     Thy will be done.                              --Matt. vi.
                                                                              10.
  
                     Our prayers should be according to the will of God.
                                                                              --Law.
  
      4. Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose.
  
      Note: [bd]Inclination is another word with which will is
               frequently confounded. Thus, when the apothecary says,
               in Romeo and Juliet,
  
                        My poverty, but not my will, consents; . . . Put
                        this in any liquid thing you will, And drink it
                        off. the word will is plainly used as, synonymous
               with inclination; not in the strict logical sense, as
               the immediate antecedent of action. It is with the same
               latitude that the word is used in common conversation,
               when we speak of doing a thing which duty prescribes,
               against one's own will; or when we speak of doing a
               thing willingly or unwillingly.[b8] --Stewart.
  
      5. That which is strongly wished or desired.
  
                     What's your will, good friar?            --Shak.
  
                     The mariner hath his will.                  --Coleridge.
  
      6. Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or
            determine.
  
                     Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies.
                                                                              --Ps. xxvii.
                                                                              12.
  
      7. (Law) The legal declaration of a person's mind as to the
            manner in which he would have his property or estate
            disposed of after his death; the written instrument,
            legally executed, by which a man makes disposition of his
            estate, to take effect after his death; testament; devise.
            See the Note under {Testament}, 1.
  
      Note: Wills are written or nuncupative, that is, oral. See
               {Nuncupative will}, under {Nuncupative}.
  
      {At will} (Law), at pleasure. To hold an estate at the will
            of another, is to enjoy the possession at his pleasure,
            and be liable to be ousted at any time by the lessor or
            proprietor. An estate at will is at the will of both
            parties.
  
      {Good will}. See under {Good}.
  
      {Ill will}, enmity; unfriendliness; malevolence.
  
      {To have one's will}, to obtain what is desired; to do what
            one pleases.
  
      {Will worship}, worship according to the dictates of the will
            or fancy; formal worship. [Obs.]
  
      {Will worshiper}, one who offers will worship. [Obs.] --Jer.
            Taylor.
  
      {With a will}, with willingness and zeal; with all one's
            heart or strength; earnestly; heartily.
