s say, briefly but not perhaps idiomatically, "the
_then_ sovereign," "the _then_ temper," &c.

[21] The personality of the tempters and organizers of the conspiracy
is purposely kept in the background.

[22] The relative is retained in the first two cases, because it
conveys the _reason why_ Fiennes was educated at New College; and in

[25] This sentence is a preliminary summary of what follows.

[26] If "which" is used here according to Rule (8), the meaning is,
(_a_) "and their differences;" if it is used for "that," the meaning

BURNET.

The principal faults in Burnet's style are (_a_) the use of
heterogeneous sentences (see 43); (_b_) the want of suspense (see 30);
(_c_) the ambiguous use of pronouns (see 5); (_d_) the omission of
connecting adverbs and conjunctions, and an excessive use of _and_
(see 44); and (_e_) an abruptness in passing from one topic to another
(see 45). The correction of these faults necessarily lengthens the
altered version.
