                  grace, or elegance, as in the following lones of
                  Whitehead:

                           and closed with grace, Plan, moral, all, in that
                           short space.[b8] It differs from concise in not
                  implying, perhaps, quite as much condensation, but
                  chiefly in the additional idea of [bd]grace or
                  elegance.[b8] -- {Terse"ly}, adv. -- {Terse"ness}, n.

   Tarshish
      a Sanscrit or Aryan word, meaning "the sea coast." (1.) One of
      the "sons" of Javan (Gen. 10:4; 1 Chr. 1:7).
     
         (2.) The name of a place which first comes into notice in the
      days of Solomon. The question as to the locality of Tarshish has
      given rise to not a little discussion. Some think there was a
      Tarshish in the East, on the Indian coast, seeing that "ships of
      Tarshish" sailed from Eziongeber, on the Red Sea (1 Kings 9:26;
      22:48; 2 Chr. 9:21). Some, again, argue that Carthage was the
      place so named. There can be little doubt, however, that this is
      the name of a Phoenician port in Spain, between the two mouths
      of the Guadalquivir (the name given to the river by the Arabs,
      and meaning "the great wady" or water-course). It was founded by
      a Carthaginian colony, and was the farthest western harbour of
      Tyrian sailors. It was to this port Jonah's ship was about to
      sail from Joppa. It has well been styled "the Peru of Tyrian
      adventure;" it abounded in gold and silver mines.
     
         It appears that this name also is used without reference to
      any locality. "Ships of Tarshish" is an expression sometimes
      denoting simply ships intended for a long voyage (Isa. 23:1,
      14), ships of a large size (sea-going ships), whatever might be
      the port to which they sailed. Solomon's ships were so styled (1
      Kings 10:22; 22:49).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tarsus
      the chief city of Cilicia. It was distinguished for its wealth
      and for its schools of learning, in which it rivalled, nay,
      excelled even Athens and Alexandria, and hence was spoken of as
      "no mean city." It was the native place of the Apostle Paul
      (Acts 21:39). It stood on the banks of the river Cydnus, about
      12 miles north of the Mediterranean. It is said to have been
      founded by Sardanapalus, king of Assyria. It is now a filthy,
      ruinous Turkish town, called Tersous. (See {PAUL}.)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Torches
      On the night of his betrayal, when our Lord was in the garden of
      Gethsemane, Judas, "having received a band of men and officers
      from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with
      lanterns and torches and weapons" (John 18:1-3). Although it was
      the time of full moon, yet in the valley of the Kidron "there
      fell great, deep shadows from the declivity of the mountain and
      projecting rocks; there were there caverns and grottos, into
      which a fugitive might retreat; finally, there were probably a
      garden-house and tower, into whose gloom it might be necessary
      for a searcher to throw light around." Lange's Commentary.
      (Nahum 2:3, "torches," Revised Version, "steel," probably should
      be "scythes" for war-chariots.)
