Usage :
When used as a word of praise ,

but when we speak of a fine woman ,
we include a greater variety of particulars ,
viz .,
all the qualities which become a woman , --

The term is equally comprehensive when we speak of a fine garden ,

though applied to a great variety of objects ,
the word has still a very definite sense ,
denoting a high degree of characteristic excellence .
