Usage :
When used as a word of praise ,
fine (
being opposed to coarse )
denotes no "
ordinary thing of its kind ."
It is not as strong as beautiful ,
in reference to the single attribute implied in the latter term ;
but when we speak of a fine woman ,
we include a greater variety of particulars ,
viz .,
all the qualities which become a woman , --
breeding ,
sentiment ,
tact ,
etc .
The term is equally comprehensive when we speak of a fine garden ,
landscape ,
horse ,
poem ,
etc .;
and ,
though applied to a great variety of objects ,
the word has still a very definite sense ,
denoting a high degree of characteristic excellence .
