1. Want of capacity to endure; as, intolerance of light.

2. The quality of being intolerant; refusal to allow to others the

enjoyment of their opinions, chosen modes of worship, and the like;

want of patience and forbearance; illiberality; bigotry; as,

intolerance shown toward a religious sect.

These few restrictions, I hope, are no great stretches of

intolerance, no very violent exertions of despotism.
