     Usage: To {Increase}, {Enlarge}, {Extend}. Enlarge implies to
            make larger or broader in size. Extend marks the

            boundaries. Increase denotes enlargement by growth and
            internal vitality, as in the case of plants. A kingdom
            is enlarged by the addition of new territories; the
            mind is enlarged by knowledge. A kingdom is extended
            when its boundaries are carried to a greater distance
            from the center. A man's riches, honors, knowledge,
            etc., are increased by accessions which are made from
            time to time.
