BenevolenceBenevolence Be*nev"o*lence, n. [OF. benevolence, L.
benevolentia. See Benevolent.]
1. The disposition to do good; good will; charitableness;
love of mankind, accompanied with a desire to promote
their happiness.
The wakeful benevolence of the gospel. --Chalmers.
2. An act of kindness; good done; charity given.
3. A species of compulsory contribution or tax, which has
sometimes been illegally exacted by arbitrary kings of
England, and falsely represented as a gratuity.
Syn: Benevolence, Beneficence, Munificence.
Usage: Benevolence marks a disposition made up of a choice
and desire for the happiness of others. Beneficence
marks the working of this disposition in dispensing
good on a somewhat broad scale. Munificence shows the
same disposition, but acting on a still broader scale,
in conferring gifts and favors. These are not
necessarily confined to objects of immediate utility.
One may show his munificence in presents of pictures
or jewelry, but this would not be beneficence.
Benevolence of heart; beneficence of life; munificence
in the encouragement of letters. BenevolentBenevolent Be*nev"o*lent, a. [L. benevolens, -entis; bene well
(adv. of bonus good) + volens, p. pr. of volo I will, I wish.
See Bounty, and Voluntary.]
Having a disposition to do good; possessing or manifesting
love to mankind, and a desire to promote their prosperity and
happiness; disposed to give to good objects; kind;
charitable. -- Be*nev"o*lent*ly, adv.
Syn: Benevolent, Beneficent.
Usage: Etymologically considered, benevolent implies wishing
well to others, and beneficent, doing well. But by
degrees the word benevolent has been widened to
include not only feelings, but actions; thus, we speak
of benevolent operations, benevolent labors for the
public good, benevolent societies. In like manner,
beneficent is now often applied to feelings; thus, we
speak of the beneficent intentions of a donor. This
extension of the terms enables us to mark nicer shades
of meaning. Thus, the phrase ``benevolent labors'
turns attention to the source of these labors, viz.,
benevolent feeling; while beneficent would simply mark
them as productive of good. So, ``beneficent
intentions' point to the feelings of the donor as
bent upon some specific good act; while ``benevolent
intentions' would only denote a general wish and
design to do good. BenevolentlyBenevolent Be*nev"o*lent, a. [L. benevolens, -entis; bene well
