Metempiric \Met`em*pir"ic\, Metempirical \Met`em*pir"ic*al\, a.
   [Pref. met- + empiric, -ical.] (Metaph.)
   Related, or belonging, to the objects of knowledge within the
   province of metempirics.

         If then the empirical designates the province we
         include within the range of science, the province we
         exclude may be fitly styled the metempirical. --G. H.
