Fear is divided into six varieties: viz.,
shrinking1825
, shame,
disgrace, consternation, panic, anxiety1826
. Shrinking1827
| 1827 Nemesius and
certain manuscripts give these species of fear in a different order,
viz., dread, consternation, panic, anxiety, shame, disgrace. | is fear of some act about to take
place. Shame is fear arising from the anticipation of
blame: and this is the highest form of the affection.
Disgrace is fear springing from some base act already done, and even
for this form there is some hope of salvation. Consternation is
fear originating in some huge product of the imagination. Panic
is fear caused by some unusual product of the imagination.
Anxiety is fear of failure, that is, of misfortune: for when we
fear that our efforts will not meet with success, we suffer
anxiety.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
