``volition'' is the act. --Stewart.
[1913 Webster]
Will is an ambiguous word, being sometimes put for
the faculty of willing; sometimes for the act of
that faculty, besides [having] other meanings. But
``volition'' always signifies the act of willing,
and nothing else. --Reid.

[1913 Webster]
My poverty, but not my will, consents; . . .
Put this in any liquid thing you will,
And drink it off.
[1913 Webster] the word will is plainly used as,
synonymous with inclination; not in the strict logical
sense, as the immediate antecedent of action. It is
with the same latitude that the word is used in common

prescribes, against one's own will; or when we speak of
doing a thing willingly or unwillingly.'' --Stewart.
[1913 Webster]
