The extreme Puritans had an impact of no less import on the publishing activities of their enemies. In their attempt to halt the progress of forms of religion and religious opinion that had gone far beyond their own goals, several Presbyterian divines produced carefully assembled accounts of the heresies of their own times – they were the Eusebiuses of their day, and their works are now major sources for the history of the period.

futurama
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: A generalised application of Futurama, the name of an exhibit-cum-ride at the 1939–40 New York World’s Fair that presented a possible model of the world twenty years thence (1959–60). The name of the exhibit derives from the English word future and the suffix -rama, meaning "a wide view of", which ultimately comes from the Ancient Greek word ὅρᾱμᾰ (hórāmă, “a sight”, “a spectacle”, “a speculation”) — as in panorama or diorama.
Affixes: -rama
Inflected forms:
form: futuramas
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A palpable depiction of a (usually sensational) vision of the future.
pos: noun
examples: Today we are apt to think of a fair as a mileless potpourri of trylons and flood-lighted futuramas, but in the yesterdays of our greatgrandfathers, a fair meant a cattle show.
Under these circumstances, it is no surprise that the public lately has been treated in word and print to futuramas of air commerce showing winged leviathans, flying box-cars, trains of mammoth gliders and immense helicopters filling the heavens.
The great New York World’s Fair of my childhood, erected on top of the garbage dumps that had filled the swamps of old, making marvelous futuramas out of the midden of the present.
The book of Revelation, which describes [John’s glimpse of eternity], has to be the greatest futurama of all time.
With its emphasis on technology, its ebullient optimism, and boundless claims for design’s responsibility and power, MC is a cross between a world’s fair, a futurama, and a technology expo.
