INTONA'TION, /. The aft of founding the notes in 
the mufical fcale with the voice, or any other given order 
of mufical tones. Intonation may be either true or falfe, 
either too high or too law, either too ftiarp or too flat; 
1 and then this word intonation, attended with an epithet, 
rnuft be underftood concerning the manner of performing 
the notes. 
In executing an air, to form the founds, and preferve 
the intervals as they are marked with juftnefs and accu¬ 
racy, is no inconfiderable difficulty, and Scarcely practi¬ 
cable.but by theafliftar.ee of one common idea, to which, 
as to their ultimate teft, thefe founds and intervals muft 
be referred ; thefe common ideas are thofe of the key and 
the mode in which the performer is engaged ; and, from 
the word tone, which is Sometimes ufed in a fenfe almoft 
identical with that of the key, the word intonation may 
I N T ' 179 
perhaps be derived. It may alfo be deduced from the 
word diatonic, as in that fcale it is molt frequently con- 
verfant; a fcale w'hich appears mod convenient and moil 
natural to the voice. We feel more difficulty in our into¬ 
nation of Such intervals as are greater or lefs than thofe 
of the diatonic order ; becaufe, in the firft cafe, the glot¬ 
tis and vocal organs are modified by gradations too large; 
or too complex, in the fecond. See farther under the ar¬ 
ticle Music.

Every aft of intoxication puts Nature to the expence 
of a fever, in order to difeharge the poifonous draught. 
When this is repeated almoft every day, it is eafy to fore¬ 
fee the confequences. That conftitutio.n muft be ftrong 
indeed, which is able long to hold out under a daily fe¬ 
ver ! But fevers occafioned by drinking do not always 
go off in a day; they frequently end in an inflammation 
of the bread, liver, or brain, and produce fatal effects. 
Though the drunkard (hould not fall by an acute diSeaSe, 
he feldom efcapes thofe of a chronic kind. Intoxi¬ 
cating liquors, when ufed to excefs, weaken the bowels 
and Spoil' the digeftion ; they deftroy the power of the 
nerves, and occafion paralytic and convulfive diforders ; 
they likewife heat and inflame the blood, deftroy its bal- 
famic quality, render it unfit for circulation and the 
nourifliment of the body. Hence obftruftions, atrophies, 
dropfies, and consumptions of the lungs. Thefe are the 
common ways in which drunkards make their exit. Dif¬ 
eafes of this kind, when brought on by hard drinking, , 
feldom admit of a cure. Many people injure their health 
b,y drinking, who feldom get drunk. The continual ha¬ 
bit of foaking, as it is called, though its effefts be not fo 
violent, is not lei's pernicious. When the veffels are kept 
conllantly full and upon the ftretch, the different diges¬ 
tions can neither be duly performed, nor the humours 
properly prepared. Hence, molt people of this character 
are afflifted with the gout, the gravel, ulcerous fores in 
the legs, See. If thele diforders do not appear, they are ' 
feized with low fpirits, hypochondriacal affeftions, and 
other Symptoms of indigbftion. Confumptions are now 
fo common, that it is thought one-tenth of the inhabi¬ 
tants of great towns die of that difeafe. Hard drinking 
is no doubt one of the caufes to which we muft impute
