     Syn: {Observance}, {Observation}. These words are
          discriminated by the two distinct senses of observe. To
          observe means (1) to keep strictly; as, to observe a
          fast day, and hence, observance denotes the keeping or
          heeding with strictness; (2) to consider attentively, or
          to remark; and hence, observation denotes either the act
          of observing, or some remark made as the result thereof.
          We do not say the observation of Sunday, though the word
          was formerly so used. The Pharisees were curious in
          external observances; the astronomers are curious in
          celestial observations.
  
                Love rigid honesty, And strict observance of
                impartial laws.                     --Roscommon.
