 Context examples 

The innocent little peasant was unanimously sentenced to death, and was to be rolled into the water, in a barrel pierced full of holes.

(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)

After much debate, they concluded unanimously, that I was only relplum scalcath, which is interpreted literally lusus naturæ; a determination exactly agreeable to the modern philosophy of Europe, whose professors, disdaining the old evasion of occult causes, whereby the followers of Aristotle endeavoured in vain to disguise their ignorance, have invented this wonderful solution of all difficulties, to the unspeakable advancement of human knowledge.

(Gulliver's Travels into several remote nations of the world, by Jonathan Swift)
