        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Impartiality; freedom from prejudice, prepossession, or

        [1913 Webster]

              conversant about objects which are so far from being
              of an indifferent nature, that they are highest
              importance.                           --Addison.
  
     Syn: Carelessness; negligence; unconcern; apathy;
