Genus
Ge´nus
GENUS. It denotes the number of beings, or objects, which agree in certain
general properties, common to them all, so that genus is, in fact, only an
abstract idea, expressed by some general name or term; or rather a name or
term, to signify what is called au abstract idea. Thus, goods is the generic
name, and includes, generally, all personal property; but this word may be
restrained, particularly in bequests to such goods as are of the same kind
as those previously enumerated. Vide 3 Ves. 311 11 Ves. 657; 1 Eq. Cas. Ab.
