  Assessment \As*sess"ment\, n. [LL. assessamentum.]
     1. The act of assessing; the act of determining an amount to
        be paid; as, an assessment of damages, or of taxes; an
        assessment of the members of a club.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A valuation of property or profits of business, for the
        purpose of taxation; such valuation and an adjudging of
        the proper sum to be levied on the property; as, an
        assessment of property or an assessment on property.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: An assessment is a valuation made by authorized persons
           according to their discretion, as opposed to a sum
           certain or determined by law. It is a valuation of the
           property of those who are to pay the tax, for the
           purpose of fixing the proportion which each man shall
           pay. --Blackstone. Burrill.

     3. The specific sum levied or assessed.
        [1913 Webster]

        successive installments; also, one of these installments
        (in England termed a ``call''). [U. S.]
