Excerpt from An Appendix in English Grammar: Including a Great Variety of Important Matter Directing to Good Language, Very Little of Which Has Been Hitherto Given With Etymology and Syntax, Though Proper to Be Classed There
A buck spotted with red paint, and straying into a neigh~ boring flock, is an incident; his scaring the flock by this means is an accident; the sheep's running to get away from him is an incident; but one of them's falling into a ditch in its flight and breaking its leg, is an accident.
If in a doctor's applying a chemical mixture to cure a man's hand, some of it should fall on his white pants and take out a grease spot, the falling of the mixture on his pants would be an accident, and the discovery of this effect of the mixture would be accidental. If in applying a mix~* ture to the head to cure a humor or eruption, it turns the hair red or black, the discovery of its effect on the hair is incidental.
