proclamation, the governor's, the mayor's proclamation. The word 
proclamation is also used to express the public nomination made of any one 
to a high office; as, such a prince was proclaimed emperor.

authorized by congress; as if congress were to pass an act, which should

proclamation would give the act the force of law, which, till then, it 
wanted. How far a proclamation is evidence of facts, see Bac. Ab. Ev. F;
