Webster's 1828 Dictionary

COMPARE

v.t. 1. To set or bring things together in fact or in contemplation, and to examine the relations they bear to each other, with a view to ascertain their agreement or disagreement; as, to compare two pieces of cloth, two tables, or coins; to compare reasons and arguments; to compare pleasure with pain.
In comparing movable things, it is customary to bring them together, for examination. In comparing thins immovable or remote, and abstract ideas, we bring them together in the mind, as far as we are able, and consider them in connection. Comparison therefore is really collation, or it includes it.
2. To liken; to represent as similar, for the purpose of illustration.
Solon compared the people to the sea, and orators and counselors to the winds; for that the sea would be calm and quiet, it the winds did not trouble it.
In this sense compare is followed by to.
3. To examine the relations of thins to each other, with a view to discover their relative proportions, quantities or qualities; as, to compare two kingdoms, or two mountains with each other; to compare the number ten with fifteen; to compare ice with crystal; to compare a clown with a dancing master or a dandy.
In this sense compare is followed by with.
4. In grammar, to form an adjective in the degrees of comparison; as blackish, black, blacker, blackest.
5. To get; to procure; to obtain; as in Latin.

Com *pare ", v. t. [imp. & p. p. Compared; p. pr. & vb. n. Comparing. ]Etym: [L.comparare, fr. compar like or equal to another; com- + par equal: cf. F. comparer. See Pair, Peer an equal, and cf. Compeer. ]

 

1. To examine the character or qualities of, as of two or more persons or things, for the purpose of discovering their resemblances or differences; to bring into comparison; to regard with discriminating attention. Compare dead happiness with living woe. Shak. The place he found beyond expression bright, Compared with aught on earth. Milton. Compare our faces and be judge yourself. Shak. To compare great things with small. Milton.

 

2. To represent as similar, for the purpose of illustration; to liken. Solon compared the people unto the sea, and orators and counselors to the winds; for that the sea would be calm and quiet if the winds did not trouble it. Bacon.

 

3. (Gram. )

 

Defn: To inflect according to the degrees of comparison; to state positive, comparative, and superlative forms of; as, most adjectives of one syllable are compared by affixing "-er " and "-est " to the positive form; as, black, blacker, blackest; those of more than one syllable are usually compared by prefixing "more " and "most ", or "less " and "least ", to the positive; as, beautiful, more beautiful, most beautiful.

 

Syn. -- To Compare, Compare with, Compare to. Things are compared with each other in order to learn their relative value or excellence. Thus we compare Cicero with Demosthenes, for the sake of deciding which was the greater orator. One thing is compared to another because of a real or fanciful likeness or similarity which exists between them. Thus it has been common to compare the eloquence of Demosthenes to a thunderbolt, on account of its force, and the eloquence of Cicero to a conflagration, on account of its splendor. Burke compares the parks of London to the lungs of the human body.

New American Oxford Dictionary

compare

com pare |kəmˈpe (ə )r kəmˈpɛ (ə )r | ▶verb [ with obj. ] 1 estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between: individual schools compared their facilities with those of others in the area | the survey compares prices in different countries | total attendance figures were 28,000, compared to 40,000 at last year's event. • (compare something to ) point out the resemblances to; liken to: her novel was compared to the work of Daniel Defoe. • (compare something to ) draw an analogy between one thing and (another ) for the purposes of explanation or clarification: he compared the religions to different paths toward the peak of the same mountain. • [ no obj. ] have a specified relationship with another thing or person in terms of nature or quality: salaries compare favorably with those of other professions. • [ no obj. ] be of an equal or similar nature or quality: sales were modest and cannot compare with the glory days of 1989. 2 (usu. be compared ) Grammar form the comparative and superlative degrees of (an adjective or an adverb ): words of one syllable are usually compared by “-er ” and “-est. ” PHRASES beyond (or without ) compare of a quality or nature surpassing all others of the same kind: a diamond beyond compare. compare notes (of two or more people ) exchange ideas, opinions, or information about a particular subject. ORIGIN late Middle English: from Old French comparer, from Latin comparare, from compar ‘like, equal, ’ from com- ‘with ’ + par ‘equal. ’ usage: Traditionally, compare to is used when similarities are noted in dissimilar things: shall I compare thee to a summer's day? To compare with is to look for either differences or similarities, usually in similar things: compare the candidate's claims with his actual performance. In practice, however, this distinction is rarely maintained. See also usage at contrast .

com |pare |kəmˈpɛː | ▶verb [ with obj. ] 1 estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between: individual schools compared their facilities with those of others in the area | the survey compares prices in different countries | total attendance figures were 28,000, compared to 40,000 at last year's event. • (compare something to ) point out or describe the resemblances with; liken to: her novel was compared to the work of Daniel Defoe. • (compare something to ) draw an analogy between one thing and (another ) for the purposes of explanation or clarification: he compared the religions to different paths towards the peak of the same mountain. • [ no obj., with adverbial ] have a specified relationship with another thing or person in terms of nature or quality: salaries compare favourably with those of other professions. • [ no obj., usu. with negative ] be of an equal or similar nature or quality: the dried stuff just can't compare with the taste and aroma of fresh basil. 2 Grammar form the comparative and superlative degrees of (an adjective or an adverb ): words of one syllable are usually compared by ‘-er ’ and ‘-est ’. ▶noun (in phrase beyond or without compare ) literary of a quality or nature surpassing all others of the same kind: a diamond beyond compare. PHRASES compare notes exchange ideas, opinions, or information about a particular subject. ORIGIN late Middle English: from Old French comparer, from Latin comparare, from compar ‘like, equal ’, from com- ‘with ’ + par ‘equal ’. usage: Is there any difference between compare with and compare to, and is one more correct than the other? There is a slight difference, in that it is usual to use to rather than with when describing the resemblance, by analogy, of two quite different things, as in critics compared Ellington's music to the music of Beethoven and Brahms. In the sense ‘estimate the similarity or dissimilarity between ’, with is often preferred to to, as in schools compared their facilities with those of others in the area. However, in practice the distinction is not clear-cut and both compare with and compare to can be used in either context.
