   "Rules for the acquirement of a taste." --Addison.

   [1913 Webster]

   Syn: Acquisition, Acquirement.

   Usage: Acquirement is used in opposition to a natural gift or
          talent; as, eloquence, and skill in music and
          painting, are acquirements; genius is the gift or
          endowment of nature. It denotes especially personal
          attainments, in opposition to material or external
          things gained, which are more usually called
          acquisitions; but this distinction is not always
          observed.
          [1913 Webster]
