  We present a study of the intrinsic absorption lines in the ultraviolet
spectra of Seyfert 1 galaxies. We find that the fraction of Seyfert 1 galaxies
that show absorption associated with their active nuclei is more than one-half
(10/17), which is much higher than previous estimates (3 - 10%) . There is a
one-to-one correspondence between Seyferts that show intrinsic UV absorption
and X-ray ``warm absorbers''. The intrinsic UV absorption is generally
characterized by high ionization: C IV and N V are seen in all 10 Seyferts with
detected absorption (in addition to Ly-alpha), whereas Si IV is present in only
four of these Seyferts, and Mg II absorption is only detected in NGC 4151. The
absorption lines are blueshifted (or in a few cases at rest) with respect to
the narrow emission lines, indicating that the absorbing gas is undergoing net
radial outflow. At high resolution, the absorption often splits into distinct
kinematic components that show a wide range in widths (20 - 400 km/s FWHM),
indicating macroscopic motions (e.g., radial velocity subcomponents or
turbulence) within a component. The strong absorption components have cores
that are much deeper than the continuum flux levels, indicating that the
regions responsible for these components lie completely outside of the broad
emission-line regions. The covering factor of the absorbing gas in the line of
sight, relative to the total underlying emission, is C > 0.86, on average. The
global covering factor, which is the fraction of emission intercepted by the
absorber averaged over all lines of sight, is C > 0.5.
