Definition

1. 115. DINUMERATIO.
10. Amplification sometimes is produced by the enumeration of well-known names, which, by force of the associations connected with them, and by expressed or suggested meaning, increase the importance of the subject. (De Mille)

Example

1. "It did not because they were Irishmen pay a less sincere, a less willing homage to the glorious memory of a Ponsonby and a Packenham. Castlereagh and Canning fought in the same ranks with Pitt; and Grattan took his place in the great contests of party by the side of Fox." -SIR ROBERT PEEL. (De Mille)
