der,"--or, "Keep order." "_Silence!_" i.e., "Preserve silence." "_Out! out!_" i.e., "Get out,"--or, "Clear out!" (See Obs. 5th and 6th, upon Adverbs.) "Charge, Chester, charge! _On_, Stanley, _on_! Were the last words of Marmion."--_Scott_. OBS. 5.--In some instances, interjections seem to be taken substantively and made nouns; as, "I may sit in a corner, and cry _hey-ho_ for a husband."--_Shak_. So, according to James White, in his Essay on the Verb, is the word _fie_, in the following example: "If you deny me, _fie_ upon your law."--SHAK.: _White's Verb_, p. 163. EXAMPLES FOR PARSING. PRAXIS XI.--ETYMOLOGICAL. _In the Eleventh Praxis, it is required of the pupil--to distinguish and define the different parts of speech, and_ ALL _their classes and modifications. The definitions to be given in the Eleventh Praxis, are, two for an article, six for a noun, three for an adjective, six for a pronoun, seven for a verb finite, five for an infinitive, two for a participle, two (and sometimes three) for an adverb, two for a conjunction, one for a preposition, and two for an interjection.

The interjection of wishing, earnestness, or vocative address, is _O_. _Sooner_ is an adverb of time, of the comparative degree; compared, _soon, sooner, soonest_. 1. An adverb is a word added to a verb, a participle, an adjective, or an other adverb; and generally expresses time, place, degree, or manner. 2. Adverbs of time are those which answer to the question, _When? How long? How soon?_ or, _How often?_ including these which ask. 3. The comparative degree is that which is more or less than something contrasted with it. _Shall_ is an auxiliary to _fall_. 1. An auxiliary is a short verb prefixed to one of the principal parts of an other verb, to express some particular mode and time of the being, action, or passion. _The_ is the definite article. 1. An article is the word _the, an_, or _a_, which we put before nouns to limit their signification. 2.
