High is the most gen- eral of these words, and has some uses different from those of the others. When we say that a cloud is high , we may mean that it extends very far upward, or, more probably, that it is unusually far above the earth. Tall describes that which is slim in proportion to its height, as a mast, a pine or other tree, a steeple, a person, po ibly a cliff: tall houses may be found in some parts of the world; a tall cloud would be of small width and great comparative height. Tall is also a ociated with height to which we are used or which we have come to regard as standard. A giant is tall , because so much taller than most men. Lofty denotes an imposing height: a room cannot well be tall , but may be high , or even lofty : as, the lofty arches of Westminster Hall. High and lofty may have application to moral or intellectual character; tall has not, except talll (tal), a.

[Formerly also tallie ; taly , talye , a later form of taille , taile , tayle , etc., a cutting, a cut, etc.: see tail2.] 1. A piece of wood on which notches or scores are cut to mark numbers, as in keep- ing an account or giving a receipt; loosely, anything on which a score or an account is kept. Before the use of writing, or before writing be- came general, this or something like it was the usual method of keeping accounts. In purchasing and selling it was customary to make duplicate tallies of the transac- tion, or to split one tally through the middle. In the English Exchequer tallies were used till 1812, which an- swered the purpose of receipts as well as simple records of matters of account. An Exchequer tally was an account of a sum of money lent to the government, or of a sum for which the government would be responsible. The tally itself consisted of a squared rod of hazel or other wood, having on one side notches indicating the sum for which the tally was an acknowledgment. On two other sides, opposite to each other, the amount of the sum, the name of the payer, and the date of the transaction were written by an officer called the writer of the tallies. This being done, the rod was then cleft longitudinally in such a man- ner that each piece retained one of the written sides, and one half of every notch cut in the tally. One of these parts, the counterfoil or counter stock , was kept in the Ex- chequer, and only the other, the stock , i ued. When the part i ued was returned to the Exchequer (usually in payment of taxes) the two parts were compared, as a check against fraudulent imitation. This was called tally they say, Tallee aft the sheate. or tallies. The size of the notches made on the tallies varied with the amount. The notch for £100 was the breadth of a thumb; for £1 the breadth of a barleycorn. A penny was indicated by a slight slit.
