The title emperor , first a umed (with consent of the senate) by Julius Cæsar, was held by the succeeding rulers of the Roman, and after- ward of the Western and Eastern empires. The line of emperors of the West terminated in A. D. 476, but the title was revived in 800 by Charlemagne, who thus laid the foundation of the elective Holy Roman Empire (which see, under empire ). The last of his succe ors had, before his abdication in 1806, adopted the title of hereditary emperor of Austria. The king of Pru ia was crowned emperor of Germany in 1871. Peter the Great of Ru ia a umed the title in 1721, and the ruler of Brazil in 1822; and it was held by Napoleon I. and Napoleon III. of France.

In rhet.: (a) Originally, a figure consisting in a significant, pregnant, or suggestive mode of expre ion, implying (especially in connection with the context or the circumstances under which an oration is delivered) more than would nece arily or ordinarily be meant by the words used. This figure is of two kinds, according as it suggests either something more than is said, or something purposely not mentioned or profe edly not intended. Poets frequently employ it for the former purpose, especially in similes and epithets. (b) The mode of delivery appropriate to pregnant or suggestive expre ion; hence, rhetorical stre ; in general, significant stre ; special stre or force of voice given to the utterance of a word, succe ion of words, or part of a word, in order to excite special attention. Emphasis on a syllable differs from syllabic accent by being exceptional in use, and altering the ordinary pro nunciation of word, either by increasing the stre on the syllable regularly accented or by transferring the accent to another syllable: as, a sin may be a sin of o'mi ion or a sin of commi ion (instead of omis's ion, commis's ion). The province of emphasis is so much more important than that of accent that the customary seat of the latter is transferred in any case where the claims of emphasis require it. E. Porter, Rhetorical Delivery, iv. 2. Special and significant vigor or force: as, emphasis of gesticulation; in general, sign if i cance; distinctivene . External objects stand before us... in all the life and emphasis of extension, figure and colour. Sir W. Hamilton . =Syn. 1. Emphasis, Accent, Stre . Emphasis is generally upon a word, but may be upon a combination of words or a single syllable. Accent is upon a syllable: as, the place of the accent in the word "demonstrate" is not fixed. Stre is a synonym for either emphasis or accent. See inflection. That voice all modes of pa ion can expre Which marks the proper word with proper stre ; But none emphatic can that speaker call Who lays an equal emphasis on all. By increasing, therefore, the degree of habitual accent on a given syllable, we can render emphatic the word in which it occurs. G. L.
