Usage :
These words ,
as here compared ,
have an adversative sense in reference to something referred to in the context .
However is the most general ,
and leads to a final conclusion or decision .
Thus we say ,
the truth ,
however ,
has not yet fully come out ;
i .
e .,
such is the speaker '
s conclusion in view of the whole case .
So also we say ,
however ,
you may rely on my assistance to that amount ;
i .
e .,
at all events ,
whatever may happen ,
this is my final decision .
At least is adversative in another way .
It points out the utmost concession that can possibly be required ,
and still marks the adversative conclusion ;
as ,
at least ,
this must be done ;
whatever may be our love of peace ,
we must at least maintain the rights of conscience .
Nevertheless denotes that though the concession be fully made ,
it has no bearing of the question ;
as ,
nevertheless ,
we must go forward .
Yet signifies that however extreme the supposition or fact comceded may be ,
the consequence which might naturally be expected does not and will not follow ;
as ,
though I should die with thee ,
yet will I not deny thee ;
though he slay me ,
yet will I trust in him .
Cf . {
But }.
