Among his researches may be mentioned his development of the theory of series in which he established rules for investigating their convergency. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
This more feeble ionisation is, near the nucleus, enhanced in its effects by the fact that there all the rays combine to increase the ionisation and, moreover, the several tracks are there crowded by the convergency to the centre. ❋ John Joly (1895)
The excesses and the deficiencies due to the convergency of meridians and the curvature of the earth are by law added to or deducted from the western and northern ranges of sections and half sections of the townships. ❋ Thomas Forsyth Hunt (1894)
A point of convergency is wanted for all these vistas of being, whence they may go forth, and whither they may return and meet: otherwise the soul is distracted and lost in a maze of incoherent wandering, crying out, Whence all this? and what is it for? and above all, whose is it? ❋ Joseph Rickaby (1888)
Thus it will be found that the Bible history shows a grand convergency of all the matters included in it, and that a mysterious concert weaves all its facts together, and keeps them working toward the same result. ❋ 1802-1876 (1876)
BY this very elaborate and poetically ingenious figure, the prophet appears to be giving a contrived representation of the fact, that when God brings in the promised day of his universal reign in the earth, there will be a grand convergency of causes to prepare it, and, like so many concurrent prayers, to make common suit for it before Him. ❋ 1802-1876 (1876)
The appearance of convergency which our population as a whole presents is due to emigration. ❋ William Stanley Jevons (1865)
There is an appearance of convergency — of a new approach to a stationary condition. ❋ William Stanley Jevons (1865)
Impressed with this convergency of testimony from so many different quarters, they will be utterly at a loss to account for the unanimity of these early witnesses -- all sharing in the same delusion, all ignorant that a false Mark has been silently substituted for the true Mark during their own lifetime, and consequently assuming as an indisputable fact that the false Mark was received by the Church from the beginning. ❋ Joseph Barber Lightfoot (1858)
Honourable luminaries need not talk of the want of convergency of his series. ❋ Augustus De Morgan (1838)
For it is a treatment which throws in passing, the shadow of the old metaphysical suspicion and scepticism on that chaotic unaxiomatical condition of things which the scientific eye discovers here, for the new philosophy with all its new comprehension of the actual, with all its new convergency on practice, is careful to inform us that it observes, notwithstanding the old distinction between ❋ Delia Bacon (1835)
But it is when he comes to speak of what he calls the _Illustration_ of it, that the convergency of his design begins to be laid open to us, for this work is not what it may seem on the surface, as he takes pains to intimate to us -- a 'mere muster-roll of sciences.' ❋ Delia Bacon (1835)
And that it is by this effect, which is the same in both, that either the divergency or convergency is perceived by the eye; I say, had he but considered this, it is certain he would have made a quite contrary judgment, and rightly concluded that those rays which fall on the eye with greater degrees of convergency should make the object from whence they proceed appear by so much the nearer. ❋ George Berkeley (1719)
And by how much the greater is the convergency, or divergency, of the rays falling on the pupil, by so much the farther will the point of their reunion be from the retina, either before or behind it, and consequently the point Z will appear by so much the more confused. ❋ George Berkeley (1719)
Whereas had the learned doctor observed that diverging and converging rays, how opposite soever they may seem, do nevertheless agree in producing the same effect, to wit, confusedness of vision, greater degrees whereof are produced indifferently, either as the divergency or convergency and the rays increaseth. ❋ George Berkeley (1719)
Calling the device a "micro-notebook," Medical Phone touts the phone as setting a "new industry standard in convergency technology." ❋ Unknown (2008)
The Oölitic Astrea is of much greater size than the Liasic one: it occurs not unfrequently in masses of from two to three feet in diameter; and as its polygons are tubes that converge to the footstalk on which it originally formed, it presents in the average outline a fungous-like appearance; whereas in the smaller Liasic coral, which rarely exceeds a foot in diameter, there is no such general convergency of the tubes; and the form in one piece, save that there is a certain degree of flatness common to all, bears no resemblance to the form in another. ❋ Hugh Miller (1829)
It having been observed that the most diverging rays brought into the mind the idea of nearest distance, and that still, as the divergency decreased, the distance increased: and it being thought the connexion between the various degrees of divergency and distance was immediate; this naturally leads one to conclude, from an ill-grounded analogy, that converging rays shall make an object appear at an immense distance: and that, as the convergency increases, the distance (if it were possible) should do so likewise. ❋ George Berkeley (1719)

After Tom and Bill get done [saddlebacking] each other for hours on end, they like to end their romantic session by creating a big [convergence] for themselves from their newly stretched anal parts. Then they hold and [caress] each other softly while they slowly drift off to sleep. ❋ RockaRolla20 (2009)
The explosive mess left by our [convergence] was only a sweet [reminder] of the mind-blowing effect that two penis heads can have on each other.
Dad: What were you doing with your friend the other night? Son: [Converging] dad, all the guys are doing it! Dad: Haha, I know. It just reminds me of my crazy days of Penis touching, boy did I spend hours cleaning up after those nights! ❋ Grow An Inch A Year (2012)
