--Addison. ``Your medalist and critic are much nearer related than the world imagine.''
--Addison. ``It is always pleasant to be forced to do what you wish to do, but what, until pressed, you dare not attempt.''

Yours \Yours\ (["u]rz), pron. See the Note under Your.

absolutive form of your, c.1300, on model of his, ours, etc. Yours truly "myself" is from 1833, from the common subscription of letters.\n\nIt is difficult to say what will succeed, and still more to pronounce what will not. I am at this moment in that uncertainty (on our own score,) and it is no small proof of the author's powers to be able to charm and fix a mind's attention on similar subjects and climates in such a predicament. That he may have the same effect upon all his readers is very sincerely the wish, and hardly the doubt, of yours truly,\n
