1. The act of directing, of aiming, regulating, guiding, or
ordering; guidance; management; superintendence;
administration; as, the direction o? public affairs or of
a bank.
[1913 Webster]

--Pope.
[1913 Webster]
2. That which is imposed by directing; a guiding or
authoritative instruction; prescription; order; command;
as, he grave directions to the servants.

18.
[1913 Webster]
3. The name and residence of a person to whom any thing is
sent, written upon the thing sent; superscription;
address; as, the direction of a letter.
[1913 Webster]
4. The line or course upon which anything is moving or aimed
to move, or in which anything is lying or pointing; aim;
line or point of tendency; direct line or course; as, the

[1913 Webster]
6. (Gun.) The pointing of a piece with reference to an
imaginary vertical axis; -- distinguished from elevation.

through the object. --Wilhelm.
Syn: Administration; guidance; management; superintendence;
oversight; government; order; command; guide; clew.
Usage: {Direction}, {Control}, {Command}, {Order}. These
words, as here compared, have reference to the
exercise of power over the actions of others. Control
is negative, denoting power to restrain; command is
positive, implying a right to enforce obedience;
directions are commands containing instructions how to
act. Order conveys more prominently the idea of
authority than the word direction. A shipmaster has
the command of his vessel; he gives orders or
directions to the seamen as to the mode of sailing it;
and exercises a due control over the passengers.
[1913 Webster]
