Meanings
- focusEspecially, individually or specifically.
Mr. Cooke at once began a tirade against the residents of Asquith for permitting a sandy and generally disgraceful condition of the roads. So roundly did he vituperate the inn management in particular, and with such a loud flow of words, that I trembled lest he should be heard on the veranda.

Comparing the present picture carefully with other known portraits of George Stephenson, and in particular with a portrait belonging to Mrs. Connie Wilson, of Stargate, Ryton-on-Tyne, a close resemblance can be detected in the general contours of the face, the shape of the nose, the lines and shadows around the mouth and chin, and the eyebrows and bone structure above the eyes.
1960 February 28, H. C. P. Smail, “New Portrait of George Stephenson”, in Railway Magazine, page 93
