o'ver-throw, _ruin; defeat_.
o-ver-throw', _to throw down_. NOTE III.--Emphatic words are often printed in _Italics_. When, however, different degrees of emphasis are to be denoted, the higher degrees are designated by the use of Capitals, LARGER or SMALLER, according to the degree of intensity. EXAMPLES. 1. Our motto shall be, _our country_, OUR WHOLE COUNTRY, and NOTHING BUT OUR COUNTRY. 2. _Thou Child of Joy!_ SHOUT round me: let me HEAR _thy shouts, thou happy Shepherd Boy!_ 3. Freedom calls you! _quick_, be ready, Think of what your sires have done; _Onward_, ONWARD! strong and steady, Drive the tyrant to his den; ON, and let the watchword be, _Country_, HOME, and LIBERTY. NOTE IV.--Emphasis, as before intimated, varies in degrees of intensity. EXAMPLES OF INTENSIVE EMPHASIS. 1. He shook the fragment of his blade, And shouted: "VICTORY! _Charge_, Chester, CHARGE! _On_, Stanley, ON!" |
