manifestation. Exhibition is more general than rxhiliit.

As contrasted with exposition, esftfMlion dealfl more often 
with visible things and exposition with tilings mental : as, 
an exhibition of machinery ; an exijnsitiou of a text or doc- 
trine of philosophy. Hence in part, perhaps, the disincli- 
nation of some to use exposition for a show. This new and 
French use of exposition, so far as it prevails, is limited to 
a large or international exhibition, a " world's fair." Ex- 
posure expresses a laying open (as exposure to the sun, or 
a southern exposure), especially in some undesirable way, 
as to danger, unpleasant observation, etc. Expoxe is not far 
from being synonymous with exhibit, being a formal exhi- 
bition of facts in detail for the information of those con- 
cerned, and sometimes the revelation in detail of things 
that it was desirable to keep secret : as, an expom! of cer- 
tain tricks of the trade.
