In the eighteenth century we notice, as we should expect, a considerable increase in the number of these words which attempt to portray character or feeling from within; such are _apathy_, _chagrin_, _diffidence_, _ennui_, _homesickness_, together with the expression ‘the _feelings_‘, while _agitation_, _constraint_, _disappointment_, _embarrassment_, _excitement_ are transferred from the outer to the inner world. _Outlook_, which meant ‘a place from which a good view is obtained’, was first employed figuratively by Dr. Young in 1742. This brings us to another class of words—appropriate enough to the century which produced Berkeley’s _Principles of Human Knowledge_—describing external things not objectively, from their own point of view, but purely by the _effects_ which they produce on human beings, such, for instance, as _affecting_, _amusing_, _boring_, _charming_, _diverting_, _entertaining_, _enthralling_, _entrancing_, _exciting_, _fascinating_, _interesting_, and _pathetic_ in its modern sense, none of which are found before the seventeenth and only a few before the eighteenth century. These adjectives can be distinguished sharply—indeed they are in a sense the very opposite of those older words, which can also be said, though less accurately, to describe external objects “from the human point of view”. Thus, when a Roman spoke of events as _auspicious_ or _sinister_, or when some natural object was said in the Middle Ages to be _baleful_, or _benign_, or _malign_, a herb to possess such and such a _virtue_, an eye to be _evil_, or the bones of a saint to be _holy_, or even, probably, when Gower wrote: The day was _merry_ and _fair_ enough, it is true that these things were described from the human point of view, but the activity was felt to emanate from the object itself. When we speak of an object or an event as _amusing_, on the contrary, we know that the process indicated by the word _amuse_ takes place within ourselves; and this is none the less obvious because some of the adjectives recorded above, such as _charming_, _enchanting_, and _fascinating_, are the present participles of verbs which had implied genuine, occult activity.
