To do unto the fest['e] reverence. --Chaucer.
Syn: Attention; industry; assiduity; sedulousness;
earnestness; constancy; heed; heedfulness; care;
caution. -- Diligence, Industry. Industry has the
wider sense of the two, implying an habitual devotion to
labor for some valuable end, as knowledge, property,
etc. Diligence denotes earnest application to some
specific object or pursuit, which more or less directly
has a strong hold on one's interests or feelings. A man
may be diligent for a time, or in seeking some favorite
end, without meriting the title of industrious. Such was
the case with Fox, while Burke was eminent not only for
diligence, but industry; he was always at work, and
always looking out for some new field of mental effort.
[1913 Webster]
The sweat of industry would dry and die,
But for the end it works to. --Shak.
[1913 Webster]
Diligence and accuracy are the only merits which
an historical writer ascribe to himself. --Gibbon.
[1913 Webster]

4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
DILIGENCE. In Scotland, there are certain forms of law, whereby a creditor
endeavors to make good his payment, either by affecting the person of his
debtor, or by securing the subjects belonging to him from alienation, or by
carrying the property of these subjects to himself. They are either real or
personal.
2. Real diligence is that which is proper to heritable or real rights,.
and of this kind there are two sorts: 1. Inhibitions. 2. Adjudication, which
the law has substituted in the place of apprising.
3. Personal diligence is that by which the person of the debtor may be
secured, or his personal estate affected. Ersk. Pr. L. Scotl. B. 2, t. 11,
s. 1.
|
5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
DILIGENCE, contracts. The doing things in proper time.
2. It may be divided into three degrees, namely: ordinary diligence,
extraordinary diligence, and slight diligence. It is the reverse of
negligence. (q.v.) Under that article is shown what degree of negligence,
or want of diligence, will make a party to a contract responsible to the
other. Vide Story, Bailm. Index h.t.; Ayl. Pand. 113 1 Miles, Rep. 40.
