In which sense it occurs in Latin writers, both for a weight, called by us, an ounce, and a measure called an inch. UNCIE, in algebra, first used by Vieta, are the numbers prefixed to the letters in the terms of any power of a binomial; now more usually, and generally, called coefficients. Thus, in the 4th power of a + b, viz. a1 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + ba, the unciæ are 1, 4, 6, 4, 1. Briggs first shewed how to find these unciæ, one from another, in any power, independent of the foregoing powers. They are now usually found by what is called Newton's binomial theorem, which is the same rule as Briggs's in another form. See BINOMIAL. UNCIFORM BONE.

UNCTION, in matters of religion, is used for the character conferred on sacred things by anointing them with oil. Unctions were very frequent among the Hebrews. They anointed both their kings and high-priests at the ceremony of their inauguration. They also auointed the sacred vessels of the tabernacle and temple, to sanctify and consecrate them to the service of God. The unction of kings is sup posed to be a ceremony introduced very late among the Christian princes. It is said that none of the emperors were ever anointed before Justinian or Justin. The emperors of Germany took the practice from those of the eastern empire. King Pepin of France was the first who received the unction. In the ancient Christian church, unction always accompanied the ceremonies of baptism and confirmation. Extreme unction, or the anointing persons in the article of death, was also practised by the ancient Christians, in compliance with the precept of St. James, chap. v. 14th and 15th verses. After the Roman catholic religion found its way into the world, this, as well as many other of the practices of the earlier christians, became shockingly corrupted. UNCTUOSITY. s. Fatness; oiliness.

They took care of the apprehending of criminals; secured them in the hands of justice; and when they were condemned, took them again into custody, that the sentence might be executed on them.
