     which is put in or on, inlaid work, fr. Gr. ? a thing put in
     or on, fr. ? to throw, lay, put in; ? in + ? to throw. See
     In, and Parable.]
     1. Inlay; inlaid or mosaic work; something ornamental
        inserted in a surface. [Obs.] --Milton.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A visible sign of an idea; an object, or the figure of an
        object, symbolizing and suggesting another object, or an

        balance is an emblem of justice; a scepter, the emblem of

        ``His cicatrice, an emblem of war, here on his sinister
        cheek.'' --Shak.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. A picture accompanied with a motto, a set of verse, or the
        like, intended as a moral lesson or meditation.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Writers and artists of the 17th century gave much
           attention and study to the composition of such emblems,
           and many collections of them were published.
  
     Syn: Sign; symbol; type; device; signal; token.
  
     Usage: Sign, Emblem, Symbol, Type. Sign is the
            generic word comprehending all significant
            representations. An emblem is a visible object
            representing another by a natural suggestion of
            characteristic qualities, or an habitual and
            recognized association; as, a circle, having no
            apparent beginning or end, is an emblem of eternity; a
            particular flag is the emblem of the country or ship
            which has adopted it for a sign and with which it is
            habitually associated. Between emblem and symbol the
            distinction is slight, and often one may be
            substituted for the other without impropriety. See
            Symbol. Thus, a circle is either an emblem or a
            symbol of eternity; a scepter, either an emblem or a
            symbol of authority; a lamb, either an emblem or a
            symbol of meekness. ``An emblem is always of something
            simple; a symbol may be of something complex, as of a
            transaction . . . In consequence we do not speak of
            actions emblematic.'' --C. J. Smith. A type is a
            representative example, or model, exhibiting the
            qualities common to all individuals of the class to
            which it belongs; as, the Monitor is a type of a class
            of war vessels.
