/nəʊ.təˈɹaɪ.ə.ti/ · noun
An infamous or notorious condition or reputation..
[H]e who portrays examples of disinterestedness and intrepidity, confers on virtue the notoriety and homage that are due to it, and rouses in the spectators, the spirit of salutary emulation.
I liked the man for his own sake, and even had he promised to turn out a celebrity it would have had no weight with me. I look upon notoriety with the same indifference as on the buttons on a man's shirt-front, or the crest on his note-paper.
This seems to me to be a reasonable request, and I will try to explain to you what it is that has given me this false notoriety; so please give me your attention.
