to move

Dictionary of American Words And Phrases by John Russell Bartlett.

for remove. To change one's residence.


These are great moving times. The sovereigns of Europe are being moved, much against their will--and the sovereign people of New York are on the eve of moving, according to custom, which has made the day sports of this city a very peculiar feature. Could the sovereigns of Europe only move as easily as the sovereigns of New York do, from house to house, palace to palace, &c., they would be well content, and not complain--as many movers to-morrow will.--N. Y. Sunday Atlas, April 30, '48.
