TALL, a. Eng. dally L. tollo.

1. High in stature long and comparatively slender applied to a person, or to a standing tree, mast or pole. Tall always refers to something erect, and of which the diameter is small in proportion to the highth. We say, a tall man or woman, a tall boy for his age a tall tree, a tall pole, a tall mast but we never say, a tall house or a tall mountain. The application of the word to a palace or its shadow, in Waller, is now improper.
