<p> VOL'UME, n. L. volumen, a roll volvo, to roll. to make u long, in this word, is palpably wrong. </p> 1. Primarily a roll, as the ancients wrote on long strips of bark, parchment or other material, which they formed into rolls or folds. Of such volumes, Ptolemy's library in [[Alexandria]] contained 3 or 700,000. 2. A roll or turn as much as is included in a roll or coil as the volume of a serpent. 3. Dimensions compass space occupied as the volume of an elephant's body a volume of gas. 4. A swelling or spherical body. <p> The undulating billows rolling their silver volumes. </p> 5. A book a collection of sheets of paper, usually printed or written paper, folded and bound, or covered. A book consisting of sheets once folded, is called a folio, or a folio volume of sheets twice folded, a quarto and thus according to the number of leaves in a sheet, it is called an octavo, or a duodecimo. The [[Scriptures]] or sacred writings, bound in a single volume, are called the Bible. The number of volumes in the [[Royal]] Library, in rue de Richlieu, at Paris, is variously estimated. It is probable it may amount to 400,000. <p> An odd volume of a set of books, bears not the value of its proportion to the set. </p> 6. In music, the compass of a voice from grave to acute the tone or power of voice. | |||
