As-sĕm'blage, n.
n. [Fr. assemblage. See ASSEMBLE.] 1. The act of assembling, or the state of being assembled. [Rare.] “In sweet assemblage every blooming grace.” Fenton.
Sense 2. A collection of individuals, or of particular things; as, a political assemblage, an assemblage of ideas.
Synonyms— 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, &c. 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.
With innocence and meditation joined In soft assemblage, listen to my song. Thomson.
An assembly such as earth Saw never, such as heaven stoops down to see. Cowper.
