- [6] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)
everlasting, adj. lasting forever. it is with no small diffidence
that i venture to offer this brief and elementary definition, for i am
not unaware of the existence of a bulky volume by a sometime bishop of
worcester, entitled, _a partial definition of the word "everlasting,"
as used in the authorized version of the holy scriptures_. his book
was once esteemed of great authority in the anglican church, and is
still, i understand, studied with pleasure to the mind and profit of
the soul.
