Its value does not arise from the intrinsic qualities which the material of which it is made may possess, but depends entirely on extrinsic qualities which law or common consent may confer.
The Fate of Homer may indeed logically embrace a germ, which will afterwards expand into the idea of a power extrinsic to Deity, and able to overrule it.
Upon the whole, it appears at any rate most probable, that Homer had not formed the conception of a law extrinsic to all volition human and divine, and so powerful as to override it.
The acknowledgment of a rule of right, extrinsic and superior to ourselves, is general in the Assemblies of men in Homer, when meeting for business.
The elemental powers are in Homer, though not altogether, yet almost altogether, extrinsic to his grand Olympian system.
Grasping the situation, I followed him and satisfied myself in the midnight hour as to the outcome of his most interesting dream.
At the time Professor Hilprecht told me of this curious dream, which was a few weeks after its occurrence, there remained a serious difficulty which he was not able to explain.
Extrinsic localized malignant tumours which are attached to the epiglottis, or to the aryteno-epiglottic fold.
It is most commonly used for cases of extrinsic carcinoma of the larynx: thus C.
In other words, it is employed in cases of extrinsic cancer in which the growth is not too advanced to render the prospect of its eradication hopeless.
The above statistics are sufficient to show that the results of laryngectomy for extrinsic disease compare unfavourably with the results obtained by thyrotomy in intrinsic forms of cancer.
With ‘extrinsic’ growths, the glands are rapidly involved; tumours that were originally intrinsic follow this rule as soon as they begin to affect the cartilages and extrinsic lymphatics of the larynx.

Theologians indeed distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic glory, that is, between the glory which God gives Himself by His own contemplation of His own essence, and the glory which His creatures give Him.
But, after all, they are fain to avow that the whole of this extrinsic increment and glory is no real gain to God, giving Him nothing but what He had before in an infinitely more excellent mode and manner from and of Himself.
It may be either an intrinsic argument from reason and the nature of the case, or an extrinsic argument from the word of some authority: but the reason or the authority must be grave.
Thus it appears that the extrinsicglory of God, to which the worship paid Him by man contributes, is valued, not because it is properly useful to Him, but because He is most properly and highly worthy of it.
The question of scandal has sometimes to be regarded, but that is an extrinsic circumstance to our present subject.
They say that God is thus capable of extrinsic increment, to which increment the praise and worship of His creatures is useful.
The correct enquiry is: Does any intrinsic reason or extrinsic authority make the opinion probable, that it is lawful for mere amusement to roll down rocks with any belief short of certainty that no one will be crushed thereby?
But to be in a place is an accident when compared with the extrinsic container.
As was stated above, suffering belongs to a body that suffers in respect of some extrinsic body.
But here there is no likeness, because instant and time is not the intrinsic measure of particular movements, as a line and point are of a body, but only the extrinsic measure, as place is to bodies.
But works are said to be deadened, not in relation to the principle whence they proceeded, but in relation to an extrinsic impediment; while they are said to be dead in relation to a principle.
The extrinsic causes are more operative the more unfavorable is the environment of the mother.
The limitations to its growth are extrinsic and not intrinsic.
In addition to the trauma or the parasite which may be considered as extrinsic factors, there may be conditions of the body, intrinsic factors, which favor their action in tumor development.
There are both intrinsic and extrinsic causes of insanity.
Respiration is then a more complicated process than is the action of the heart, for its contraction, which causes the blood to circulate, is not immediately dependent upon extrinsic influences.
The definite relation between alcoholism and insanity is due to alcohol acting not as an intrinsic but an extrinsic factor, bringing into effectiveness the hereditary weakness of the nervous system.
Given such a defective nervous system, extrinsic conditions which would have no effect on another individual or would be felt in different ways may produce insanity.
The emotion is extrinsic to the rude, prosaic, and often ludicrous art.
They borrowed from the classics, and sometimes with bad taste; but the extrinsic details they appropriated were not permitted to cramp the masculine elasticity of their native fancy and experience.
If, therefore, all extrinsic cause be allowed for, the cartouche of this ghost must needs be a horizontal straight line.
If a line be due to illusion, whether optical or physical, it can vary only from extrinsic cause, since it has no intrinsic existence.
In short, nothing extrinsic to the canal caused its disappearance; whatever the change was, its action lay intrinsic to the canal itself.
The simple fact that it is carried from near the pole to the equator is sufficiently telltale of extrinsic aid, but the uniformity of the action increases its significance.
It must rest upon an intrinsic reason from the nature of the case, or an extrinsic reason from authority,--always supposing the authority cited is really an authority.
They form part and parcel of the sphere; and every endeavour to regard them as endowed with an extrinsic existence, must end in the discomfiture of him who makes the attempt.
They form integral parts of the sphere; and he who endeavours to construe them to his own mind as embodied in extrinsic independent existences, must for ever be foiled in the attempt.
But God's ideas are prior to God's volition, which is the first reason of creation; therefore, the principiation of contingent beings cannot be traced back to divine ideas as a special extrinsic principle.
Whence it is obvious that the extrinsic principles by their very principiation must leave some mark or vestige of themselves in the thing principiated.
The intrinsic principles of being must correspond to its extrinsic principles, each to each respectively.
We conclude that the extrinsic principles, to which the first origin of contingent beings is to be traced, are not fewer, and not more, than three.
The extrinsic principles, as before stated, are God's volition of bringing something into existence, the term of its eduction, and the creative power exerted in its production.
As the knowledge of extrinsic principles is calculated to throw much light also on the intrinsic constitution of primitive contingent beings, let us make such principles the subject of our first investigation.
But a being which exists contingently is a being which has not within itself the adequate reason of its existence; whence it follows that its existence cannot be accounted for but by recourse to some extrinsic principle or principles.
Hence the final and the efficient principle of creation, though not really distinct in God, afford a real ground for two distinct concepts, and are to be considered as two distinct extrinsic principles with respect to all created things.
We may not see the intrinsic evidence of their truth, but their extrinsic evidence is sufficient to induce us unhesitatingly to believe, and to act upon them.
Neither of these competitions is in most historic conditions intensified by extrinsic forces, but in some conditions, such as those now prevailing in the most influential part of the world, both are so intensified.
The teacher's extrinsic preparation is a matter of thorough acquaintance with the material.
It was soon, however, acknowledged by all who reflected on the subject, that the existence of matter cannot be proved by extrinsic evidence.
The latter was regarded as a foreign body, extrinsic to the real germ, whereas it is properly a part of it, an embryonic organ of nutrition.
As regards that which constitutes the reality of truth, it is certain that a true idea is distinguished from a false one, not so much by its extrinsic object as by its intrinsic nature.
It was a question of evidence, and not only did the evidence not convince Huxley, but the thaumaturgic nature of the Biblical miracles provided him with additional reason for refusing to attach any extrinsic value to the contents of the book.
It is this character of being an absolute minimum which we want to get at and to express in terms of the extrinsic characters of the abstractive sets which make up a point.
Accordingly there are different types of extrinsic character of convergence which lead to the approximation to different types of intrinsic characters as limits.
In other words the extrinsic character of the moment as an aggregate of durations has associated with it the intrinsic character of the moment which is the limiting expression of natural properties.
A station has accordingly the usual three characters, namely, its character of position, its extrinsic character as an abstractive element, and its intrinsic character.
The fact that the extrinsic character of an abstractive set determines a definite intrinsic character is the reason of the importance of the precise concepts of space and time.
Also the temporal series of moments only retains it as an extrinsicrelation of entities and not as the outcome of the essential being of the terms of the series.
Thus a point has three characters, namely, its position in the whole instantaneous space, its extrinsic character, and its intrinsic character.
