affirmance

The Attorney-General supported Mr. Walpole in affirmance of this principle.

The action of the present Houses, moreover, is an affirmance of their right to eliminate the false votes from the true.

I propose to ask your attention for a little while to some propositions in affirmance of that statement.

The General paused for the effect, solemnly nodding his head at his astounded auditors in affirmance.

But he is of your own faith, and his lightest affirmance would weigh down the most solemn protestations of the distressed Jewess.
