altogether, by adhering to
the true name of this Participle, THE PERFECT. Nor is that entirely true
which some assert, "that this participle in the _active_ is only found in
combination;" that, "Whenever it stands alone to be parsed as a participle,
it is passive."--_Hart's English Gram._, p. 75. See also _Bullions's
Analyt. and Pract. Gram._, p. 77; and _Greene's Analysis, or Gram._, p.
225. "Rebelled," in the following examples, cannot with any propriety be
called a _passive_ participle:

"_Rebelled_, did I not send them terms of peace,
Which not my justice, but my mercy asked?"--_Pollok_, x, 253.

"Arm'd with thy might, rid Heav'n of these _rebell'd_,
To their prepar'd ill mansion driven down."--_Milton_, vi, 737.

OBS. 7.--The third participle has most generally been called the
_Compound_, or the _Compound perfect_. The latter of these terms seems to
be rather objectionable on account of its length; and against the former it
may be urged that, in the compound forms of conjugation, the first or
imperfect participle is a compound: as, _being writing, being seen_. Dr.
Adam calls _having loved_ the _perfect_ participle _active_, which he says
must be rendered in Latin by the _pluperfect_ of the subjunctive; as, he
having loved, _quum amavisset_; (_Lat. and Eng. Gram._, p. 140;) but it is
manifest that the perfect participle of the verb _to love_, whether active
or passive, is the simple word _loved_, and not this compound. Dr. Adam, in
fact, if he denies this, only contradicts himself; for, in his paradigms of
the English Active Voice, he gives the participles as two only, and both
simple, thus: "_Present_, Loving; _Perfect_, Loved:"--"_Present_, Having;
_Perfect_, Had." So of the Neuter Verb: "_Present_, Being; _Perfect_,
Been."--_Ib._, pp. 81 and 82. His scheme of either names or forms is no
model of accuracy. On the very next page, unless there is a misprint in
several editions, he calls the _Second_ participle the "_imperfect_;"
saying, "The whole of the passive voice in English is formed by the
auxiliary verb _to be_, and the participle _imperfect_; as, _I am loved, I
was loved, &c_." Further: "In many verbs," he adds, "the _present_
participle also is used in a passive sense; as, _These things are doing,
were doing_, &c.; _The house is building, was building_, &c."--_Ib._, p.
83. N. Butler, in his Practical Grammar, of 1845, names, and counts, and
orders, the participles very oddly: "Every verb," h
