They who have laboured to make us wise and good are the persons who we ought to love and respect, and who we ought to be grateful to. Who was that sent to?

377. a. St. Paul wrote to the Roman converts, some of which had been heathens. They seem to take the sun out of the world, which take friendship out of it.-c. The court, who gives currency to manners, ought to be exemplary. His acquaintance, who consisted of the chief libertines of the day, soon deserted him. The army was divided into battalions, each of whom was composed of men from the same country. The people with which he lodged are respectable. The child whom we saw could not walk. The animals whom you describe come from Bengal. Shun vicious pleasure, who is a deadly mischief. b. Who of you convinceth me of sin ? Who of these men came to his assistance ?

378. a. The possessive whose may be applied to both persons and things; as, "Man whose ;""Pleasure whose."

b. Who must not be used for whose and its governing noun; thus, "Queen Elizabeth, who was only another name for prudence," should be, "whose name was only another word," &c.

379. a. That may be applied both to persons and things, and also to prevent the too frequent repetition of who and which.

b. That is generally used after the words all, some, any, the adjective same, after a superlative, the interrogative who, and the ordinals.

c. That is used when persons form only a part of the antec. 380. The word what must not be used for that; nor that for what.

b. What should not be employed for those which; thus, "All fevers except what," should be, "except those which."

c. What is sometimes used in the sense of partly; as, " What with anxiety and what with sickness," that is, "partly with anxiety and partly with sickness."

e. The word rather is preferable to the word somewhat.

381. The words whichsoever, whatsoever, and howsoever may be divided by the interposition of the next words; but whoever, whatever, whosoever, and however cannot be divided.

382. To prevent ambiguity, the relative must be placed next to its antecedent.

Errors to be corrected.—378. b. It is no wonder that he did not succeed at the court of Queen Elizabeth, who was but another name for prudence and economy. Julius Cæsar, who is a name reverenced by the ambitious, was murdered by his citizens.

379. a. b. We may justly consider him as one of the most memorable men who have done honour to modern times. He was

the ablest minister which James ever possessed. Give me any thing which you please. Who are they who assisted us yesterday. -c. The ministers and measures which distinguished his reign, are still regarded with admiration.

380. He would not be persuaded but what I was greatly in fault. Not but what we are to make allowance for his good humour in the affair. I relate that I have seen.-e. These commendations of his children appear to have been made in somewhat an injudicious manner.

381. Howsoever learned he may be, he is not candid. On whichsoever side it is viewed, it will bear examination.

382. There are millions of people in the empire of China whose support is derived almost entirely from rice. He involved a friend in a troublesome lawsuit, who had always supported him.

383 a. When there are two antecedents of different persons, the relative generally agrees with the latter; as, "You are the friend who has relieved me.'

b. Regard must always be had to the sense intended; for "I am the man who command you" and "I am the man who commands you" convey different ideas.

c. In Interrogations like the following, the relative and verb must agree with the former nominative; as, " Is it you that has written this letter ?" that is, "Is the person who has written this letter, you?"

d. In Scripture language, and particularly when we address the Deity, the relative frequently agrees with the former of two anteced. 384. The same antecedent requires the same relative throughout the sentence. The verb also agrees with the same relative. 385. The relative, and the preposition governing it, should not be omitted, even in familiar language.

b. Every relative has an antecedent to which it refers.

386. The word than does not gov. the relat. who in the objective.

b. Than whom" is an imitation of the Latin ablative, but as than is not now a preposition, it ought not to have its influence.

Errors to be corrected. 383. a. b.-I treat you as a boy who love to learn, and are ambitious of receiving instructions. I acknowledge that I am the teacher who adopt that sentiment, and maintains the propriety of such measures. I am the Lord thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, and who lead thee by the way thou shouldst go. I am the person who advise such things.

d. Thou art the Lord, who did choose Abraham, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees.

384. Of the battles in which he fought, and that were so severely contested, he has given an interesting account. A long life may

be passed without finding a friend in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and the opinion of whom we can value for its justness and sincerity.

385. His conduct is not scandalous; and that is the best can be said of it. He discovered some qualities in the youth of a disagreeable nature, and to him were wholly unaccountable. b. Who studies much and properly, will become learned.

The wheel killed another man, which is the sixth which have lost their lives by this means. In whatsoever light it is contemplated, it will appear wonderful. He is like a beast of prey who destroys without pity. He instructed and fed the crowds who surrounded him. The men and things which he has studied have not improved his morals. The servant betrayed his master with a kiss, who had never before been suspected of treachery. He showed a spirit of forgiveness and a magnanimity that does honour to human nature. He is a man who delight in returning a favour received. All who were present loudly applauded him. Ajax was one of the most valiant of the Greeks who went to the siege of Troy. The club, of whom I am a member, was engaged last night on a discourse on honour.

Phalaris, who is a name ever to be detested, was put to death by the people of Agrigentum. Who of those persons has defended the accused? I am the man who attempt it. They who much is given to, will have much to answer for. He asked me,

how I liked the man who I have just mentioned. He is a man whom, as far as my observation extends, will not disgrace your patronage. The gentleman whom we met is an old friend which I much respect. For who are you waiting? Thou art He who breathest on the earth the breath of spring, and who covereth it with verdure and beauty.

Promiscuous Exercises on all the preceding Rules.

To sit on rocks, to muse o'er flood and fell,
To slowly trace the forest shady scene,
Where things who own not man's dominion dwell,
And mortal foot have ne'er or rarely been ;
To climb the trackless mountain all unseen,
With the wild flock that never need a fold;
Alone o'er steeps and foaming falls to lean;-

These are not solitude; 'tis but to hold

Converse with Natures charms, and view his stores unroll'd.

But midst the crowd, the hum, the shock of men,
To hear, to see, to feel, and to possess,

And roam along the worlds tired denizen,

With none which bless us, none which we can bless;
Minions of splendour shrinking from distress;
None that, with kindred consciousness endued,
If we were not, would seem to smile the less
Of all who flatter'd, follow'd, sought, and sued:
This is to be alone; this, this is solitude!

To be ever active in laudable pursuits are the distinguishing characteristic of a man of merit. Thou who bore with our infirmities, thou didst forgive our iniquities. A wise man will desire no more than he can get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and live upon contentedly.

Errors to be corrected.-When we compare the works of Nature with those of Art, we find that the former has great superiority over the latter. He puts down the mighty, and exalteth the humble. Your regard and mine was equal. Whatever were his birth, his education was good. Man is not such a machine as a clock, or a watch, which move merely as they are moved.

What art thou? speak, that on designs unknown,
While others sleep, thus range the camp alone.

God alone is maker and preserver of all things. He whose principles are correct, whose conduct honourable, need not regard the little calumnies of the envious. He hath blessed you with plenty, he hath crowned you with honours. Our wisdom, prudence, and piety; our present conduct and our future hope; is all influenced by the use of our rational powers.

A train of heroes followed through the field,

Which bore by turns great Ajax sev'n fold shield.

The author of this work, wishing to present it as correct as possible to the public, he adds the following emendations. Vice and irreligion had gained the ascendancy, and their moral character at the lowest ebb. Many of the natives which visited us, were intelligent persons.

How rarely Reason guides the stubborn choice,

Rule the bold hand, or prompt the suppliant voice.

Not one of the copies which was first published, are now to be procured. There were almost an endless variety of the feathered race; and among them were the humming-bird. The whole man, with his virtues or vices, are finely and exactly described. Piety

towards God, as well as sobriety and virtue, are necessary qualifications to make a truly wise and judicious man.

Errors to be corrected. In his exhortations he is louder than them. Such was the abbey-church which he erected at Westminster, and served afterwards as a pattern for other buildings. Envy and ignorance is prone to misrepresent the best motives, and the most laudable conduct. The Arcadians being an inland people, they were unskilled in navigation.

It is worse than death what I have suffered. Such passages as are excessive bad, are committed to the margin. A high degree of mental maturity, and of acquired knowledge, are necessary to enable us to derive advantage and avoid inconvenience, from visiting a foreign nation. Crocodiles lay a great number of eggs, which, if they were not frequently destroyed by other animals, Egypt would swarm with them.

He lives freely from care. He dresses very neat. I see you have a new pair of gloves. They did not behave with that decorum which is the duty of every gentleman to observe. A serious application to the sciences and liberal arts soften and humanize the temper, and cherish those fine emotions in which true virtue and honour consists.

Knowledge of nature open the universe to our view; enable us to judge worthily of the constitution of things; secure us from the weakness of vulgar superstitions; and contribute in many ways to the health and security, the convenience and pleasure, of human life. Each pair build themselves separate habitations.

387. Transitive verbs gov. nouns and pron. in the objective case. b. The verb let is transitive governing the objective.-c. Every transitive has an objective. A whole clause is sometimes the object of a transitive verb. -e. The objective should not, if possible, be separated from its verb.-f. In nouns, the nominative generally precedes, and the objective follows a transitive verb. The relative and personal pronouns, except the word it, may sometimes be placed either before or after the verb.

388. Transitive verbs do not admit a preposition after them. 389. a. Verbs signifying to allow, ask, deny, envy, fine, give, grudge, offer, pay, promise, send, teach, tell, have, in familiar language, two objective cases; that which denotes the person is governed by a preposition understood, and the other by the verb. b. The same verbs, also, in the passive voice, are frequently, in the familiar style, followed by an objective case; as, "They were asked a question." This mode is not adapted to dignified com
