Usage : {
Event }, {
Occurrence }, {
Incident }, {
Circumstance }.
An event denotes that which arises from a preceding state of things .
Hence we speak or watching the event ;
of tracing the progress of events .
An occurrence has no reference to any antecedents ,
but simply marks that which meets us in our progress through life ,
as if by chance ,
or in the course of divine providence .
The things which thus meet us ,
if important ,
are usually connected with antecedents ;
and hence event is the leading term .
In the "
Declaration of Independence "
it is said , "
When ,
in the cource of human events ,
it becomes necessary ."
etc .
Here ,
occurrences would be out of place .
An incident is that which falls into a state of things to which is does not primarily belong ;
as ,
the incidents of a journey .
The term is usually applied to things of secondary importance .
A circumstance is one of the things surrounding us in our path of life .
These may differ greatly in importance ;
but they are always outsiders ,
which operate upon us from without ,
exerting greater or less influence according to their intrinsic importance .
A person giving an account of a campaign might dwell on the leading events which it produced ;
might mention some of its striking occurrences ;
might allude to some remarkable incidents which attended it ;
and might give the details of the favorable or adverse circumstances which marked its progress .
