TOKAY

A wine made at Tokay in Hungary; it is luscious, and yet has an agreeable quickne of flavour. It is usually more or le turbid, and is the only wine which is preferred in that state, and consequently agitated before it is poured into the gla . TOLERATION (Lat. tolero, I bear), is used in a general sense to expre impunity and safety in the state for all di enters from the established church, who do not maintain any doctrines inconsistent with the peace and welfare of the state. Hence toleration implies a right of enjoying the benefit of the laws and of all social privileges, without any regard to difference of religion. The first toleration act in England pa ed in 1689; but it was not till 1829, when the Catholic Emancipation Bill was pa ed, that di enters could be said to be on equality with churchmen in every respect. The Jews are now the only sect in England precluded from the full enjoyment of civil rights in consequence of their religion. [s. 1255]
