p. p. acknowledged ([a^]k*n[o^]l"[e^]jd); p. pr. & vb. n.

Syn: To avow; proclaim; recognize; own; admit; allow;

Usage: Acknowledge, Recognize. Acknowledge is opposed to
keep back, or conceal, and supposes that something had
been previously known to us (though perhaps not to
others) which we now feel bound to lay open or make
public. Thus, a man acknowledges a secret marriage;
one who has done wrong acknowledges his fault; and
author acknowledges his obligation to those who have
aided him; we acknowledge our ignorance. Recognize
supposes that we have either forgotten or not had the
evidence of a thing distinctly before our minds, but
that now we know it (as it were) anew, or receive and
admit in on the ground of the evidence it brings.
Thus, we recognize a friend after a long absence. We
recognize facts, principles, truths, etc., when their
evidence is brought up fresh to the mind; as, bad men
usually recognize the providence of God in seasons of
danger. A foreign minister, consul, or agent, of any
kind, is recognized on the ground of his producing
satisfactory credentials. See also Confess.
