As*sem"blage, n. [Cf. F. assemblage.
See Assemble.] 1. The act of assembling, or the
state of being assembled; association.
In sweet assemblage every blooming grace.
Fenton.
2. A collection of individuals, or of individuals,
or of particular things; as, a political assemblage; an
assemblage of ideas.
Syn. -- Company; group; collection; concourse; gathering;
meeting; convention. Assemblage, Assembly. An
assembly consists only of persons; an assemblage may be
composed of things as well as persons, as, an assemblage of
incoherent objects. Nor is every assemblage of persons an
assembly; since the latter term denotes a body who have met, and are
acting, in concert for some common end, such as to hear, to deliberate, to
unite in music, dancing, etc. An assemblage of skaters on a lake, or
of horse jockeys at a race course, is not an assembly, but might be
turned into one by collecting into a body with a view to discuss and decide
as to some object of common interest.
