BOUN'TY, n. L.bonitas, from bonus, good.
1. Liberality in bestowing gifts and favors generosity munificence. The word includes the gift or favor and the kindness of disposition with which it is bestowed or a favor bestowed with benevolent disposition. This distinguishes it from a mere gift. It is also observed by Johnson, that it differs from charity, as a present from an alms, in not being bestowed upon persons absolutely necessitous. This is often the case but bounty includes charity, as the genus comprehends the species charity however does not necessarily include bounty, for charity or an alms may be given with reluctance.
The word may be used also for a free gift, 2Bor 4:5' or a disposition to give, without the gift goodness in general.
2. A premium offered or given, to induce men to enlist into the public service or to encourage any branch of industry, as husbandry, manufactures or commerce.
