From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Eulogy \Eu"lo*gy\, n.; pl. {Eulogies}. [Gr. [?], from [?] well       speaking; [?] well + [?] to speak. Cf. {Eulogium}, and see       {Legend}.]       A speech or writing in commendation of the character or       services of a person; as, a fitting eulogy to worth.                   Eulogies turn into elegies.                     --Spenser.          Syn: Encomium; praise; panegyric; applause.          Usage: {Eulogy}, {Eulogium}, {Encomium}, {Panegyric}. The                   idea of praise is common to all these words. The word                   encomium is used of both persons and things which are                   the result of human action, and denotes warm praise.                   Eulogium and eulogy apply only to persons and are more                   studied and of greater length. A panegyric was                   originally a set speech in a full assembly of the                   people, and hence denotes a more formal eulogy,                   couched in terms of warm and continuous praise,                   especially as to personal character. We may bestow                   encomiums on any work of art, on production of genius,                   without reference to the performer; we bestow                   eulogies, or pronounce a eulogium, upon some                   individual distinguished for his merit public                   services; we pronounce a panegyric before an assembly                   gathered for the occasion.
