Continuous impost
(gcide) | Continuous \Con*tin"u*ous\, a. [L. continuus, fr. continere to
hold together. See Continent.]
1. Without break, cessation, or interruption; without
intervening space or time; uninterrupted; unbroken;
continual; unceasing; constant; continued; protracted;
extended; as, a continuous line of railroad; a continuous
current of electricity.
[1913 Webster]
he can hear its continuous murmur. --Longfellow.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Bot.) Not deviating or varying from uninformity; not
interrupted; not joined or articulated.
[1913 Webster]
Continuous brake (Railroad), a brake which is attached to
each car a train, and can be caused to operate in all the
cars simultaneously from a point on any car or on the
engine.
Continuous impost. See Impost.
Syn: Continuous, Continual.
Usage: Continuous is the stronger word, and denotes that the
continuity or union of parts is absolute and
uninterrupted; as, a continuous sheet of ice; a
continuous flow of water or of argument. So Daniel
Webster speaks of "a continuous and unbroken strain of
the martial airs of England." Continual, in most
cases, marks a close and unbroken succession of
things, rather than absolute continuity. Thus we speak
of continual showers, implying a repetition with
occasional interruptions; we speak of a person as
liable to continual calls, or as subject to continual
applications for aid, etc. See Constant.

IMPOSTS
(bouvier) | IMPOSTS. This word is sometimes used to signify taxes, or duties, or
impositions; and, sometimes, in the more restrained sense of a duty on
imported goods and merchandise. The Federalist, No. 30; 3 Elliott's
Debates, 289; Story, Const. Sec. 949.
2. The Constitution of the United States, art. 1, s. 8, n. 1, gives
power to congress "to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises."
And art. 1, s. 10, n. 2, directs that "no state shall, without the consent
of congress, lay any imposts, or duties on imports or exports, except what
may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection laws." See Bac. Ab.
Smuggling, B; 2 Inst. 62; Dy. 165 n.; Sir John Davis on Imposition.
