The President of the United States has notified
the House of Representatives that he has approved and signed the
act.

&fist; This application of notify has been condemned; but
it is in constant good use in the United States, and in perfect
accordance with the use of certify.

No"tion (?), [L. notio, fr. noscere to
know: cf. F. notion. See Know.] 1.
Mental apprehension of whatever may be known or imagined; an
idea; a conception; more properly, a general or universal conception,
as distinguishable or definable by marks or
notæ.

What hath been generally agreed on, I content myself
to assume under the notion of principles.

Few agree in their notions about these
words.

That notion of hunger, cold, sound, color,
thought, wish, or fear which is in the mind, is called the "idea" of
hunger, cold, etc.

Notion, again, signifies either the act of
apprehending, signalizing, that is, the remarking or taking note of,
the various notes, marks, or characters of an object which its
qualities afford, or the result of that act.
