[A reference to Richardson's _Dictionary_ will show that,
however fond Thomson may have been of this word, it is not one
peculiar to him. Whitehead says:
"To me 'twas given to wake _th' amusive_ reed,"
and Chandler, in his _Travels in Greece_, speaks of the wind
"murmuring _amusively_ among the pines."]
_Belfry Towers separate from the Body of the Church._--At Mylor, near
Falmouth, there is an old tower for the bells (where they are rung every
Sunday), separate from the church itself, which has a very low tower.
Are there many other instances of this? I do not remember to have seen
any.
