Definition
obtaining possession of something; or the thing possessed
- The knowledge both of the Poet and the Man of Science is pleasure; but the knowledge of the one cleaves to us as a necessary part of our existence, our natural and unalienable inheritance; the other is a personal and individual acquisition, slow to come to us, and by no habitual and direct sympathy connecting us with our fellow- beings.
There are no more uses of "acquisition" in Preface to Lyrical Ballads.
