1 .
The power of choosing ;
the faculty or endowment of the soul by which it is capable of choosing ;
the faculty or power of the mind by which we decide to do or not to do ;
the power or faculty of preferring or selecting one of two or more objects .
[
1913 Webster ]
It is necessary to form a distinct notion of what is meant by the word "
volition "
in order to understand the import of the word will ,
for this last word expresses the power of mind of which "
volition "
is the act . --
Stewart .
[
1913 Webster ]
Will is an ambiguous word ,
being sometimes put for the faculty of willing ;
sometimes for the act of that faculty ,
besides [
having ]
other meanings .
But "
volition "
always signifies the act of willing ,
and nothing else . --
Reid .
[
1913 Webster ]
Appetite is the will '

and the will is appetite '

what we covet according to the one ,
by the other we often reject . --
Hooker .

The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses anything . --
J .

[
1913 Webster ]
2 .
The choice which is made ;
a determination or preference which results from the act or exercise of the power of choice ;
a volition .
[
1913 Webster ]
The word "
will ,"
however ,
is not always used in this its proper acceptation ,
but is frequently substituted for "
volition ",
as when I say that my hand mover in obedience to my will . --
Stewart .
[

Strong wish or inclination ;
desire ;
purpose .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note : "
Inclination is another word with which will is frequently confounded .

when the apothecary says ,
in Romeo and Juliet ,
[
1913 Webster ]
My poverty ,
but not my will ,
consents ; . . .
Put this in any liquid thing you will ,
And drink it off .
[
1913 Webster ]
the word will is plainly used as ,
synonymous with inclination ;
not in the strict logical sense ,
as the immediate antecedent of action .
It is with the same latitude that the word is used in common conversation ,
when we speak of doing a thing which duty prescribes ,
against one '
s own will ;
or when we speak of doing a thing willingly or unwillingly ." --

As an auxiliary ,
will is used to denote futurity dependent on the verb .
Thus ,
in first person , "
I will "
denotes willingness ,
consent ,
promise ;
and when "
will "
is emphasized ,
it denotes determination or fixed purpose ;
as ,
I will go if you wish ;
I will go at all hazards .
In the second and third persons ,
the idea of distinct volition ,
wish ,
or purpose is evanescent ,
and simple certainty is appropriately expressed ;
as , "
You will go ,"
or "
He will go ,"
describes a future event as a fact only .
To emphasize will denotes (
according to the tone or context )
certain futurity or fixed determination .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Will ,
auxiliary ,
may be used elliptically for will go .
"
I '
ll to her lodgings ." --
Marlowe .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
As in shall (
which see ),
the second and third persons may be virtually converted into the first ,
either by question or indirect statement ,
so as to receive the meaning which belongs to will in that person ;
thus ,
"
Will you go ?" (
answer , "
I will go ")
asks assent ,
requests ,
etc .;
while "
Will he go ?"
simply inquires concerning futurity ;
thus ,
also ,"
He says or thinks he will go ," "
You say or think you will go ,"
both signify willingness or consent .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
Would ,
as the preterit of will ,
is chiefly employed in conditional ,
subjunctive ,
or optative senses ;
as ,
he would go if he could ;
he could go if he would ;
he said that he would go ;
I would fain go ,
but can not ;
I would that I were young again ;
and other like phrases .
In the last use ,
the first personal pronoun is often omitted ;
as ,
would that he were here ;
would to Heaven that it were so ;
and ,
omitting the to in such an adjuration .
"
Would God I had died for thee ."
Would is used for both present and future time ,
in conditional propositions ,
and would have for past time ;
as ,
he would go now if he were ready ;
if it should rain ,
he would not go ;
he would have gone ,
had he been able .
Would not ,
as also will not ,
signifies refusal . "
He was angry ,
and would not go in ." --
Luke xv .
28 .
Would is never a past participle .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
In Ireland ,
Scotland ,
and the United States ,
especially in the southern and western portions of the United States ,
shall and will ,
should and would ,
are often misused ,
as in the following examples :
[
1913 Webster ]
I am able to devote as much time and attention to other subjects as I will [
shall ]
be under the necessity of doing next winter . --
Chalmers .
[
1913 Webster ]
A countryman ,
telling us what he had seen ,

4 .-
1 .
The testator must be legally capable of making a will .
Generally all persons who may make valid contracts can dispose of their property by will .
See Parties to contracts .
This act requires a power of the mind freely to dispose of property .
Infants ,
because of their tender age ,
and married women ,
on account of the supposed influence and control of their husbands ,
have no capacity to make a will ,
with these exceptions ,
that infants at common law may dispose of their personal estate ,
the males when over fourteen years of age ,
and the females when over twelve ;
this rule in relation to infants is not uniform in the United States .

or a serious intention to make such will .

writes or says that such a person shall have his goods or be his executor ,

Written on paper or parchment ;
it may be in any language ,

provided it can be read or understood .
