      4. Impression left on the mind; sensation produced.
  
                     Patchwork . . . introduced for oratorical effect.

                                                                              Shairp.
  
                     The effect was heightened by the wild and lonely
                     nature of the place.                           --W. Irving.
  
      5. Power to produce results; efficiency; force; importance;
            account; as, to speak with effect.
  
      6. Consequence intended; purpose; meaning; general intent; --

      Syn: {Effect}, {Consequence}, {Result}.
  
      Usage: These words indicate things which arise out of some
                  antecedent, or follow as a consequent. Effect, which
                  may be regarded as the generic term, denotes that
                  which springs directly from something which can
                  properly be termed a cause. A consequence is more
                  remote, not being strictly caused, nor yet a mere
                  sequence, but following out of and following
                  indirectly, or in the train of events, something on
                  which it truly depends. A result is still more remote
                  and variable, like the rebound of an elastic body
                  which falls in very different directions. We may
                  foresee the effects of a measure, may conjecture its
                  consequences, but can rarely discover its final
                  results.
  
                           Resolving all events, with their effects And
                           manifold results, into the will And arbitration
                           wise of the Supreme.                     --Cowper.
  
                           Shun the bitter consequence, for know, The day
                           thou eatest thereof, . . . thou shalt die.
                                                                              --Milton.
