Hi, friends. As always, I need your precious help. I do not like the denotative meaning of "august" in the given context. Which is its closest synonym in this sentence. Would you replace it with "impressive"?
"I have mentioned some few of the more prominent and august calamities on record; but, in these, it is the extent,not less than the character of the calamity, which so vividly impresses the fancy." (http://poestories.com/read/premature)
