      cristallization.]
      1. (Chem. & Min.) The act or process by which a substance in

            or becomes crystallized.
  
      2. The body formed by crystallizing; as, silver on
            precipitation forms arborescent crystallizations.
  
      Note: The systems of crystallization are the several classes
               to which the forms are mathematically referable. They
               are most simply described according to the relative
               lengths and inclinations of certain assumed lines
               called axes; but the real distinction is the degree of
               symmetry characterizing them. 1. {The Isometric, [or]
               Monometric, system} has the axes all equal, as in the
               cube, octahedron, etc. 2. {The Tetragonal, [or]
               Dimetric, system} has a varying vertical axis, while
               the lateral are equal, as in the right square prism. 3.

               three axes unequal, as in the rectangular and rhombic
               prism. In this system, the lateral axes are called,
               respectively, macrodiagonal and brachydiagonal. -- The
               preceding are erect forms, the axes intersecting at
               right angles. The following are oblique. 4. {The
               Monoclinic system}, having one of the intersections
               oblique, as in the oblique rhombic prism. In this
               system, the lateral axes are called respectively,
               clinodiagonal and orthodiagonal. 5. {The Triclinic
               system}, having all the three intersections oblique, as
               in the oblique rhomboidal prism. There is also: 6. {The
               Hexagonal system} (one division of which is called
               Rhombohedral), in which there are three equal lateral
               axes, and a vertical axis of variable length, as in the
               hexagonal prism and the rhombohedron.
  
      Note: The Diclinic system, sometimes recognized, with two
               oblique intersections, is only a variety of the
               Triclinic.

      Note: Am come, is come, etc., are frequently used instead of
               have come, has come, etc., esp. in poetry. The verb to
               be gives a clearer adjectival significance to the
               participle as expressing a state or condition of the
               subject, while the auxiliary have expresses simply the
               completion of the action signified by the verb.

      Note: Come may properly be used (instead of go) in speaking
               of a movement hence, or away, when there is reference
               to an approach to the person addressed; as, I shall
               come home next week; he will come to your house to-day.
               It is used with other verbs almost as an auxiliary,
               indicative of approach to the action or state expressed

               approaching, without an auxiliary; as, it will be two
               years, come next Christmas; i. e., when Christmas shall
               come.

      gam. [fb]23. Cf. {Base}, n., {Convene}, {Adventure}.]
      1. To move hitherward; to draw near; to approach the speaker,
            or some place or person indicated; -- opposed to go.

                     When we came to Rome.                        --Acts xxviii.
                                                                              16.
  
                     Lately come from Italy.                     --Acts xviii.
                                                                              2.

            act of another.
  
                     From whence come wars?                        --James iv. 1.
  
                     Both riches and honor come of thee !   --1 Chron.

      Note: Am come, is come, etc., are frequently used instead of
               have come, has come, etc., esp. in poetry. The verb to
               be gives a clearer adjectival significance to the
               participle as expressing a state or condition of the
               subject, while the auxiliary have expresses simply the
               completion of the action signified by the verb.
  
                        Think not that I am come to destroy. --Matt. v.

                        year.                                             --Bryant.
  
      Note: Come may properly be used (instead of go) in speaking
               of a movement hence, or away, when there is reference
               to an approach to the person addressed; as, I shall
               come home next week; he will come to your house to-day.
               It is used with other verbs almost as an auxiliary,
               indicative of approach to the action or state expressed
               by the verb; as, how came you to do it? Come is used
               colloquially, with reference to a definite future time
               approaching, without an auxiliary; as, it will be two
               years, come next Christmas; i. e., when Christmas shall
               come.
  
                        They were cried In meeting, come next Sunday.

   Grief \Grief\ (gr[emac]f), n. [OE. grief, gref, OF. grief, gref,
      F. grief, L. gravis heavy; akin to Gr. bary`s, Skr. guru,
      Goth. ka[uacute]rus. Cf. {Barometer}, {Grave}, a., {Grieve},
      {Gooroo.}]
      1. Pain of mind on account of something in the past; mental
            suffering arising from any cause, as misfortune, loss of
            friends, misconduct of one's self or others, etc.; sorrow;
            sadness.
  
                     The mother was so afflicted at the loss of a fine
                     boy, . . . that she died for grief of it. --Addison.
  
      2. Cause of sorrow or pain; that which afficts or distresses;
            trial; grievance.
  
                     Be factious for redress of all these griefs. --Shak.
  
      3. Physical pain, or a cause of it; malady. [R.]

      {To come to grief}, to meet with calamity, accident, defeat,
            ruin, etc., causing grief; to turn out badly. [Colloq.]
  
      Syn: Affiction; sorrow; distress; sadness; trial; grievance.
  
      Usage: {Grief}, {Sorrow}, {Sadness}. Sorrow is the generic
                  term; grief is sorrow for some definite cause -- one
                  which commenced, at least, in the past; sadness is
                  applied to a permanent mood of the mind. Sorrow is
                  transient in many cases; but the grief of a mother for
                  the loss of a favorite child too often turns into
                  habitual sadness. [bd]Grief is sometimes considered as
                  synonymous with sorrow; and in this case we speak of
                  the transports of grief. At other times it expresses
                  more silent, deep, and painful affections, such as are
                  inspired by domestic calamities, particularly by the
                  loss of friends and relatives, or by the distress,
                  either of body or mind, experienced by those whom we
                  love and value.[b8] --Cogan. See {Affliction}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Light \Light\ (l[imac]t), n. [OE. light, liht, AS. le[a2]ht;
      akin to OS. lioht, D. & G. licht, OHG. lioht, Goth.
      liuha[thorn], Icel. lj[omac]s, L. lux light, lucere to shine,
      Gr. leyko`s white, Skr. ruc to shine. [root]122. Cf. {Lucid},
      {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]
      1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of
            which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered
            visible or luminous.
  
      Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material
               particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions
               from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right
               lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles
               per second; but it is now generally understood to
               consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or
               substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or
               undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether,
               assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in
               vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as
               the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the
               nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave
               theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since
               abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian
               theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in
               electrical oscillations, and is known as the
               electro-magnetic theory of light.
  
      2. That which furnishes, or is a source of, light, as the
            sun, a star, a candle, a lighthouse, etc.

      3. The time during which the light of the sun is visible;
            day; especially, the dawn of day.

            or window pane; a skylight; in architecture, one of the
            compartments of a window made by a mullion or mullions.
