As many legal terms are derived from a Latin root word, the dictionary provides a pronunciation guide for such terms.[4] In addition, the applicable entries provide pronunciation transcriptions pursuant to those found among North American practitioners of law or medicine.
The second edition of Black's Law Dictionary, published in 1910, is now in the public domain and is widely reproduced online. References to case law are out-of-date, and that edition of the dictionary omits legal terms that have since come into use and does not reflect contemporary changes in how legal terms are used.[6]

By the middle ages (Kamakura and Muromachi Periods), however, the custom of drinking tea had spread among the Japanese people. At that time, the kind of bowl used for tea drinking was the tenmoku teabowl, imported from China. These black-glazed teabowls were first brought back to Japan by Japanese priests, who admired them at a temple on Mt. Tianmu (Tenmoku in Japanese) in China. We still call them by their Japanese name tenmoku today.
All the teabowls pictured here are called tenmoku teabowls, but can you see how they differ in color and shape? Some widen at the mouth, while some taper. Some have straight sides while some have rounded. Some are all black while some have designs. You can see how many different kinds of tenmoku teabowls were brought into Japan from China in the middle ages!
By the end of the Kamakura Period, however, the custom of drinking tea had spread, and the number of people who wanted to own tenmoku teabowls grew. From that time on, these bowls were not only imported from China, the Japanese began to make tenmoku teabowls of their own. This doesn't mean that tenmoku teabowls were made all over Japan. At that time, the only place that made glazed ceramics was the Seto region (in present day Aichi Prefecture), so naturally Seto was the only place that could make the black-glazed tenmoku teabowls.
The tenmoku teabowls made in Seto were excellent copies of the original Chinese bowls. However, the Japanese-made bowls had one special characteristic: though the Chinese bowls came in many different shapes, the Japanese particularly liked the bowls with tapered mouths, so almost all the Seto-made bowls had this tapered shape. Another difference between the Japanese and the Chinese bowls was the clay. The most famous production center in China for tenmoku teabowls was the Jian kiln, in present day Fujian Province. If you compare the unglazed section, the foot, of a Jian-ware teabowl (Chinese) with a Seto-ware (Japanese) bowl, you will see that the color of the clay is very different. This is because of the difference in the amount of iron. Clay from the Seto region has very little iron so it is whitish. In order to make the unglazed feet of the bowls turn black instead of white (and thus look more like Jian ware), some Seto potters even coated the feet of their teabowls in an iron-rich mineral powder! That is how much the Japanese of the day admired Chinese tenmoku teabowls!
An encyclopedia or dictionary is an excellent place to start when beginning to investigate your music research topic. (Please note that the terms "encyclopedia" and "dictionary" tend to be used interchangeably by publishers; many so-called dictionaries are actually in-depth encyclopedias.) Their articles provide authoritative summaries on a given topic, and can give you a sense of whether you're on the right path. Most encyclopedia articles conclude with a bibliography that will guide you toward further, more specialized reading (and likely spur ideas for honing your topic further.) The resources listed below are all titles in our library collection, whether accessible by print or online.
In Commonwealth v. Chase, (33) Pennsylvania's Superior Court reached the same result. There, an undercover officer radioed his partner to tell him that he had just purchased drugsfrom a black man in a blue shirt at the corner of Tackawanna and Orthodox. The otherofficer then arrived at the scene, where he saw two black men, both in blue shirts. Thedefendant ran, and the officer arrested him. The court found that the officer had probablecause to arrest the defendant. The court pointed out that "in dealing with questions ofprobable cause, we are not dealing with certainties. We are dealing with the factual andpractical considerations of everyday life on which reasonable and prudent men act. This isnot the same 'beyond a reasonable doubt' standard which we apply in determining guilt orinnocence at trial." (34) The court there specifically rejected the trial court's statement that "youcannot have probable cause to think that both are guilty when it is clearly a crime committedonly by one person." (35) In rejecting that conclusion, the superior court stated, "We do notagree that the police could never have probable cause to arrest two persons if only one personhas committed the crime. While the law requires that probable cause have a fairly narrowfocus, thereby precluding, for example, dragnet operations, we do not believe that the focusmust in all situations narrow down to a single suspect. . . . Under some circumstances, theremay be probable cause to believe that either of two suspects was the perpetrator of thecriminal act." (36)

[God] created one human, as the Holy Scripture teaches; but if the slightest trait [difference] was sufficient, there would easily stick out thousands of different species of man: they display, namely, white, red, black and grey hair; white, rosy, tawny and black faces; straight, stubby, crooked, flattened, and aquiline noses; among them we find giants and pygmies, fat and skinny people, erect, humpy, brittle, and lame people etc. etc. But who with a sane mind would be so frivolous as to call these distinct species?

The result of this expansion of the classification of man was the 1758 10th edition of Systema naturae, which became the basis for scientific racism. To the four continents and the four varieties of humans, Linnaeus added the four temperaments, or humours. According to medieval medical doctrine, which still had currency in the 18th century, the four humours were thought to be sanguine (blood), choleric (yellow bile), melancholic (black bile), and phlegmatic (phlegm). Their composition within the body was considered to determine a patient's personality and health concerns. By adding these, and other moral attributes, he departed from the purely geographic and environmental factors.
