 Context examples 

Your aunt Norris has always been an advocate, and very judiciously, for young people's being brought up without unnecessary indulgences; but there should be moderation in everything.

(Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen)

But by coolly giving the reins a better direction herself they happily passed the danger; and by once afterwards judiciously putting out her hand they neither fell into a rut, nor ran foul of a dung-cart; and Anne, with some amusement at their style of driving, which she imagined no bad representation of the general guidance of their affairs, found herself safely deposited by them at the Cottage.

(Persuasion, by Jane Austen)

(Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen)

(Sense and Sensibility, by Jane Austen)
