The species are the anastrophe, the hysteron proteron, the hypallage, the synchysis, the tmesis, the parenthesis, and the proper hyperbaton, which last is a long retention of the verb which completes the sentence.
HYPERBOLA
n.[Gr. over, beyond, and to throw. ] In conic sections and geometry, a curve formed by cutting a cone in a direction parallel to its axis.
A section of a cone, when the cutting plane makes a greater angle with the base than the side of the cone makes.

The same effect attends figurative grandeur or littleness; and hence the use of the hyperbole, which expresses this momentary conviction. The following are instances of the use of this figure.
He was owner of a piece of ground not larger than a Lacedemonian letter.
If a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. Genesis 13:16.
