4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
PEACE. The tranquillity enjoyed by a political society, internally, by the
good order which reigns among its members, and externally, by the good
understanding it has with all other nations. Applied to the internal
regulations of a nation, peace imports, in a technical sense, not merely a
state of repose and security, as opposed to one of violence and warfare, but
likewise a state of public order and decorum. Ham. N. P. 139; 12 Mod. 566.
Vide, generally, Bac. Ab. Prerogative, D 4; Hale, Hist. P. C. 160; 3 Taunt.
R. 14; 1 B. & A. 227; Peake, R. 89; 1 Esp. R. 294; Harr. Dig. Officer, V 4;
2 Benth. Ev. 319, note. Vide Good behaviour; Surety of the peace.

5. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906) |
PEACE, n. In international affairs, a period of cheating between two
periods of fighting.
O, what's the loud uproar assailing
Mine ears without cease?
'Tis the voice of the hopeful, all-hailing
The horrors of peace.
Ah, Peace Universal; they woo it --
Would marry it, too.
If only they knew how to do it
'Twere easy to do.
They're working by night and by day
On their problem, like moles.
Have mercy, O Heaven, I pray,
On their meddlesome souls!
Ro Amil
