[Pref. extra, and Eng. mural (q. v.).] Beyond or outside of the walls or boundaries of a place. Thus it is the word especially applied to burials in cemeteries outside of towns, as opposed to intramural- i.e., in the town churches or churchyards. ex-tran-e-ous, a . [Lat. extraneus , from extra =without, beyond; Sp. extraño ; Port. estranho.] Foreign; not belonging to a thing; not intrinsic; external, not e ential. "Relation is not contained in the real existence of things, but something extraneous and superinduced."_ Locke . IMG:content-1309.png:[ocr errors] Crabb thus discriminates between extraneous , extrinsic , and foreign : The extraneous is that which forms no nece ary or natural part of anything; the extrinsic is that which forms a part or has a connection, but only in an indirect form; it is not an inherent or component part: the foreign is that which forms no part whatever, and has no kind of connection. Extraneous and extrinsic have a general and abstract sense; but foreign has a particular signification; they always pa over to some object either expre ed or understood: hence we say extraneous ideas, or extrinsic worth; but that a particular mode of acting is foreign to the general plan pursued. Anecdotes of private individuals would be extraneous matter in a general history; the respect and credit which men gain from their fellow-citizens by an adherence to recti tude is the extrinsic advantage of virtue; it is foreign to the purpose of one who is making an abridgment of a work to enter into details in any particular part." (Crabb: Eng. Synon.) extraneous modulation, s. extra provincial ěx-trān'-ě-oŭs-lý, adv. [Eng. extraneous; -ly.] In an extraneous manner. "By their being extraneously overruled."-Law: Theory of Religion, pt. iii.
