      Note: Liberal has of, sometimes with, before the thing

                  The latter expresses that nobleness of soul which is
                  peculiarly appropriate to those of high rank, -- a
                  spirit that goes out of self, and finds its enjoyment
                  in consulting the feelings and happiness of others.
                  Generosity is measured by the extent of the sacrifices
                  it makes; liberality, by the warmth of feeling which
                  it manifests.

            education. Hence, degrees in the arts; master and bachelor
            of arts.
  
                     In America, literature and the elegant arts must
                     grow up side by side with the coarser plants of
                     daily necessity.                                 --Irving.

      {To help on}, to forward; to promote by aid.

      Syn: To aid; assist; succor; relieve; serve; support;
               sustain; befriend.
  
      Usage: To {Help}, {Aid}, {Assist}. These words all agree in
                  the idea of affording relief or support to a person
                  under difficulties. Help turns attention especially to
                  the source of relief. If I fall into a pit, I call for
                  help; and he who helps me out does it by an act of his
                  own. Aid turns attention to the other side, and
                  supposes co[94]peration on the part of him who is
                  relieved; as, he aided me in getting out of the pit; I
                  got out by the aid of a ladder which he brought.
                  Assist has a primary reference to relief afforded by a
                  person who [bd]stands by[b8] in order to relieve. It
                  denotes both help and aid. Thus, we say of a person
                  who is weak, I assisted him upstairs, or, he mounted
                  the stairs by my assistance. When help is used as a
                  noun, it points less distinctively and exclusively to
                  the source of relief, or, in other words, agrees more
                  closely with aid. Thus we say, I got out of a pit by
                  the help of my friend.

      Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers
               often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay
               and lie. Lay is a transitive verb, and has for its
               preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I
               laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its
               preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay
               down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the
               preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid
               down. So persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid
               at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was
               laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to
               remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit
               of lay, and not of lie.

   toolbar
  
      A common {graphical user interface}
      component, consisting of a permanently visible row of button
      {icons} that, when clicked with the {mouse}, cause the program
      to perform some action such as printing the current document
      or changing the {mode} of operation.
  
      The toolbar buttons often invoke functions accessible via
      {menus} but they are easier to use since they are permanently
      visible.   A typical use would be in a {paint} program where
      the toolbar allows the users to select one of the various
      painting "tools" - brush, pencil, bucket etc.
  
      Some {application programs} under some {operating systems} may
      allow the user to customise the functions accessible via
      toolbars; in others, the choice is fixed by the programmer.
