    ??.1 Its general nature and principal modifications

    /By/ Factitious honor is /understand/ honor which at the hands of the public at large is /tokens of respect are/ procured or endeavoured to be procured in favor of a particular individual at the hands of the public at large, by means of some token or tokens, giving an intimation to them to that effect by the functionary by whom the honor is said to be conferred. On this occasion a word in some sort synonymous to /for the most part interconvertible with/ honor is dignity. (a)

    For the giving /conveying/ of this intimation signs of various sorts are in use. One sort of sign is of the purely visible sort: of this sort are ensigns of honor: another sort being verbal are as such at once audible as well as visible. Of this sort are the signs called titles of honor

    Titles may be and are unaccompanied with ensigns: ensigns scarcely can exist without correspondent titles.

    Howsoever designated they may stand singly, or in a climax of any length /be seen standing in some cases singly, in others in a climax of various lengths/ - a climax of /as occupy/ any number of degrees rising one above another in a scale.

    A factitous honor is seen sometimes in conjunction with a lot of power being conferred at the same time /received constantly/ with it, as in the case of a Member of the English House of Lords: sometimes without power as in the case of a Spanish Grandee: sometimes without power but with privilege, as in the case of the titled Noblesse of France: sometimes without power or privilege and /as/ in most Christian Nations in the case of the Orders of Knighthood that are designated by ensigns worn about the person: and in the simple Knighthood of England distinguished by an appellative but without any ensign worn about the person: when conferred with power in some cases elevation in the climax of honor carries with it elevation in the climax of power - as in the case of Bishopricks and Archbishopricks in the English House of Lords: in some cases the honors rise in a climax the power remaining unvaried, as in the case of the Lay Lords in the English House of Lords: the power being annext in an entire to the lowest degree in the climax of honor termed a Barony, while above that rise other degrees in a climax, namely a Viscountcy, an Earldom, a Marquesate and a Dukedom.

    Note (a)

    But /The idea conveyed/ by the word honor is however that of a fictitious entity extraneous to the individual in question; the idea conveyed by the word dignity, a fictitious entity, a quality, the seat of which is within him.

    ?.2. Expository matter

    As to the compounds in which this article is an ingredient the consideration of them need not add to the trouble: though in full conjoined with the several other articles, in idea there will be no difficulty in keeping it separate

    Primarily-seated and in an extravasated state - say in one word extravasated - by these two words the distinction of greatest importance in respect of usefulness or mischievousness will be brought to view. Appropriately seated the honor may be said to be in the instance of him /the individual/ on [..?] by an appropriate act of power it has been conferred: extravasated, in the instance of him who without any ulterior /additional/ act of power has received the honor in virtue of a relation borne by him in some way /mode/ or other to him on whom it was conferred: genealogical relationship is one of those modes; official is another: occupation of the same office.

    3. In the case where it is seated by extravasation on the ground of genealogical relationship of consanguinity /consanguinity/ is determined as to the individual by blind chance.
