Coextend According to which the least body may be coextended with the greatest. Has your English language one single word that is coextended through all these significations? Coextension Coextensive Coffee There are several species of the coffee tree, as, Coffea Arabica, C. occidentalis, and C. Liberica. The white, fragrant flowers grow in clusters at the root of the leaves, and the fruit is a red or purple cherrylike drupe, with sweet pulp, usually containing two pyrenes, commercially called "beans" or "berries". They have in Turkey a drink called coffee. . . . This drink comforteth the brain and heart, and helpeth digestion. The use of coffee is said to have been introduced into England about 1650, when coffeehouses were opened in Oxford and London. Coffeehouse The coffeehouse must not be dismissed with a cursory mention. It might indeed, at that time, have been not improperly called a most important political institution. . . . The coffeehouses were the chief organs through which the public opinion of the metropolis vented itself. . . . Every man of the upper or middle class went daily to his coffeehouse to learn the news and discuss it. Every coffeehouse had one or more orators, to whose eloquence the crowd listened with admiration, and who soon became what the journalists of our own time have been called a fourth estate of the realm.
