Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
Epiphonemanoun
An exclamation; a conclusive sentence not closely connected with the words forgoing.
Etymology: ἐϖιφώνημα.
I know a gentleman, who made it a rule in reading to skip over all sentences where he spied a note of admiration at the end. I believe, if those preachers who abound in epiphomenas would but look about them, they would find one part of their congregation out of countenance, and the other asleep, except perhaps an old female beggar or two in the isles; who, if they be sincere, may probably groan at the sound. Jonathan Swift.
