<blockquote><b>Eulogies</b> turn into elegies. <i>Spenser.</i></blockquote>

<syn>Syn. -- Encomium; praise; panegyric; applause.</syn> <usage> -- <er>Eulogy</er>, <er>Eulogium</er>, <er>Encomium</er>, <er>Panegyric</er>. The idea of praise is common to all these words. The word <i>encomium</i> is used of both persons and things which are the result of human action, and denotes warm praise. <i>Eulogium</i> and <i>eulogy</i> apply only to persons and are more studied and of greater length. A <i>panegyric</i> was originally a set speech in a full assembly of the people, and hence denotes a more formal <i>eulogy</i>, couched in terms of warm and continuous praise, especially as to personal character. We may bestow <i>encomiums</i> on any work of art, on production of genius, without reference to the performer; we bestow <i>eulogies</i>, or pronounce a <i>eulogium</i>, upon some individual distinguished for his merit public services; we pronounce a <i>panegyric</i> before an assembly gathered for the occasion.</usage>
