one is expressed; as, "Such is the mutual dependence of words in sentences, that several _others_, as well as [is] the _adjective, are_ not to be used alone."--_Dr. Wilson's Essay_, p. 99. "The Constitution was to be the one fundamental law of the land, to which _all_, as well _States_ as _people_, should submit."--W. I. BOWDITCH: _Liberator_, No. 984. "As well those which history, as those which experience _offers_ to our reflection."-- _Bolingbroke, on History_, p. 85. Here the words "_offers to our reflection_" are understood after "_history_." "_None_ but _He_ who discerns futurity, _could have foretold_ and described all these things."--_Keith's Evidences_, p. 62. "That there _was_ in those times no other _writer_, of any degree of eminence, save _he_ himself."--_Pope's Works_, Vol. iii, p. 43. "I do entreat you not a man depart, Save _I_ alone, till Antony have spoke."--_Shak., J. Caesar_. OBS. 13.--Some grammarians say, that _but_ and _save_, when they denote exception, should govern the objective case as _prepositions_. But this idea is, without doubt, contrary to the current usage of the best authors, either ancient or modern. Wherefore I think it evident that these grammarians err. The objective case of _nouns_ being like the nominative, the point can be proved only by the _pronouns_; as, "There is none _but he_ alone."--_Perkins's Theology_, 1608. "There is none other _but he_."--_Mark_, xii, 32. (This text is good authority as regards the _case_, though it is incorrect in an other respect: it should have been, "There is _none but_ he," or else, "There is _no other than he_.") "No man hath ascended up to heaven, _but he_ that came down from heaven."--_John_, iii, 13. "Not that any man hath seen the father, _save he_ which is of God."--_John_, vi, 46. "Few can, _save he_ and _I_."--_Byron's Werner_. "There is none justified, _but he_ that is in measure sanctified."--_Isaac Penington_. _Save_, as a conjunction, is nearly obsolete. OBS. 14.--In Rev., ii, 17th, we read, "Which no man knoweth, _saving he_ that receiveth it;" and again, xiii, 17th, "That no man might buy or sell, _save he_ that had the mark." The following text is inaccurate, but not in the construction of the nominative _they_: "All men cannot receive this saying, _save they_ to whom it is given."--_Matt._, xix, 11. The version ought to have been, "_Not all_ men can receive this saying, _but they only_ to whom it is given:" i.e., "the
