erence for the elements, (c) Later still, the

= 8yn.l. Encomium, Eulogy, Eulo/fium,Panrmrie. These 
words are best understood through their history. (See 
the derivations.) Euloyy is stronger than eiicomium, but 
still is the most general word. An rncomium is an ex- 
pression of warm praise, of some fullness and complete- 
ness, like the ancient laudatory ode : encomium Is not a 
distinctive name for a set speech ; the others may be : as, 
Everett's Eulogy upon the Pilgrim fathers ; the Panegy- 
ric of Isoerates. Eulotfiuin is only a more formal word 
for fulmty. The last three may lie used abstractly, but 
not eiwxmimm; we may say, it was mere .//..'/../ or pan- 
egyric, but not mere encomium. Eulogy, a eutoyy, and 
an encomium may be tempered with criticism ; panemric 
and a pantgjfric are only praise ; hence, panegyric la often 
used for exaggerated or undiscriminating praise. 
Plutarch assures us that our author [Cicero] . . . made a 
speech in public full ol the highest encomium* on Crassus.
