                  and authority. The term chief is now more usually
                  applied to one who is a head man, leader, or commander
                  in civil or military affairs, or holds a hereditary or
                  acquired rank in a tribe or clan; as, the chief of

               solvent, and is frequently impregnated with foreign
               matter which is mostly removed by distillation; hence,

            called {miner's inch}, and {water inch}. The shape of the
            orifice and the head vary in different localities. In the
            Western United States, for hydraulic mining, the standard
            aperture is square and the head from 4 to 9 inches above
            its center. In Europe, for experimental hydraulics, the
            orifice is usually round and the head from [frac1x12] of

      {Water of crystallization} (Chem.), the water combined with

            loosely, but, nevertheless, chemically, combined, for it
            is held in fixed and definite amount for each substance
            containing it. Thus, while pure copper sulphate, {CuSO4},

            of water of crystallization.

   Species \Spe"cies\, n. sing. & pl. [L., a sight, outward
      appearance, shape, form, a particular sort, kind, or quality,
      a species. See {Spice}, n., and cf. {Specie}, {Special}.]
      1. Visible or sensible presentation; appearance; a sensible
            percept received by the imagination; an image. [R.]
            [bd]The species of the letters illuminated with indigo and
            violet.[b8] --Sir I. Newton.
  
                     Wit, . . . the faculty of imagination in the writer,
                     which searches over all the memory for the species
                     or ideas of those things which it designs to
                     represent.                                          --Dryden.
  
      Note: In the scholastic philosophy, the species was sensible
               and intelligible. The sensible species was that in any
               material, object which was in fact discerned by the
               mind through the organ of perception, or that in any
               object which rendered it possible that it should be
               perceived. The sensible species, as apprehended by the
               understanding in any of the relations of thought, was
               called an intelligible species. [bd]An apparent
               diversity between the species visible and audible is,
               that the visible doth not mingle in the medium, but the
               audible doth.[b8] --Bacon.
  
      2. (Logic) A group of individuals agreeing in common
            attributes, and designated by a common name; a conception
            subordinated to another conception, called a genus, or
            generic conception, from which it differs in containing or
            comprehending more attributes, and extending to fewer
            individuals. Thus, {man} is a species, under {animal} as a
            genus; and man, in its turn, may be regarded as a genus
            with respect to {European}, {American}, or the like, as
            species.
  
      3. In science, a more or less permanent group of existing
            things or beings, associated according to attributes, or
            properties determined by scientific observation.
  
      Note: In mineralogy and chemistry, objects which possess the
               same definite chemical structure, and are fundamentally
               the same in crystallization and physical characters,
               are classed as belonging to a species. In zo[94]logy
               and botany, a species is an ideal group of individuals
               which are believed to have descended from common
               ancestors, which agree in essential characteristics,
               and are capable of indefinitely continued fertile
               reproduction through the sexes. A species, as thus
               defined, differs from a variety or subspecies only in
               the greater stability of its characters and in the
               absence of individuals intermediate between the related
               groups.
  
      4. A sort; a kind; a variety; as, a species of low cunning; a
            species of generosity; a species of cloth.
  
      5. Coin, or coined silver, gold, ot other metal, used as a
            circulating medium; specie. [Obs.]
  
                     There was, in the splendor of the Roman empire, a
                     less quantity of current species in Europe than

   Chancery \Chan"cer*y\, n. [F. chancellerie, LL. cancellaria,

      {Chancellery}.]
      1. In England, formerly, the highest court of judicature next
            to the Parliament, exercising jurisdiction at law, but
            chiefly in equity; but under the jurisdiction act of 1873
            it became the chancery division of the High Court of
            Justice, and now exercises jurisdiction only in equity.
  
      2. In the Unites States, a court of equity; equity;
            proceeding in equity.
  
      Note: A court of chancery, so far as it is a court of equity,
               in the English and American sense, may be generally, if
               not precisely, described as one having jurisdiction in
               cases of rights, recognized and protected by the
               municipal jurisprudence, where a plain, adequate, and
               complete remedy can not be had in the courts of common
               law. In some of the American States, jurisdiction at
               law and in equity centers in the same tribunal. The
               courts of the United States also have jurisdiction both
               at law and in equity, and in all such cases they
               exercise their jurisdiction, as courts of law, or as
               courts of equity, as the subject of adjudication may
               require. In others of the American States, the courts
               that administer equity are distinct tribunals, having
               their appropriate judicial officers, and it is to the
               latter that the appellation courts of chancery is
               usually applied; but, in American law, the terms equity
               and court of equity are more frequently employed than
               the corresponding terms chancery and court of chancery.
               --Burrill.

            it with the other fist at will; hence, to have wholly in
            One's power. The allusion is to the condition of a person
            involved in the chancery court, where he was helpless,
            while the lawyers lived upon his estate.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Inspiration
      that extraordinary or supernatural divine influence vouchsafed
      to those who wrote the Holy Scriptures, rendering their writings
      infallible. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God"
      (R.V., "Every scripture inspired of God"), 2 Tim. 3:16. This is
      true of all the "sacred writings," not in the sense of their
      being works of genius or of supernatural insight, but as
      "theopneustic," i.e., "breathed into by God" in such a sense
      that the writers were supernaturally guided to express exactly
      what God intended them to express as a revelation of his mind
      and will. The testimony of the sacred writers themselves
      abundantly demonstrates this truth; and if they are infallible
      as teachers of doctrine, then the doctrine of plenary
      inspiration must be accepted. There are no errors in the Bible
      as it came from God, none have been proved to exist.
      Difficulties and phenomena we cannot explain are not errors. All
      these books of the Old and New Testaments are inspired. We do
      not say that they contain, but that they are, the Word of God.
      The gift of inspiration rendered the writers the organs of God,
      for the infallible communication of his mind and will, in the
      very manner and words in which it was originally given.
     
         As to the nature of inspiration we have no information. This
      only we know, it rendered the writers infallible. They were all
      equally inspired, and are all equally infallible. The
      inspiration of the sacred writers did not change their
      characters. They retained all their individual peculiarities as
      thinkers or writers. (See {BIBLE}; WORD OF {GOD}.)
