uestion; as,
'_who_ is he, and _what_ does he want?'"--_Day's School Gram._, p. 21.
"_Who_ is generally used when we would inquire for some unknown person or
persons; as, _who_ is that man."--_Ib._, p. 24. "Our fathers, where are
they, and the prophets, do they live forever?"--_Ib._, p. 109.
"It is true, that some of our best writers have used _than whom_; but it is
also true, that they have used _other_ phrases which we have rejected as
ungrammatical: then why not reject this too.--The sentences in the
Exercises [with _than who_] are correct as they stand."--_Lennie's Gram._,
5th Ed., 1819, p. 79.
"When the perfect participle of an active-intransitive verb is annexed to
the neuter verb _to be_? What does the combination form?"--_Hallock's
Gram._, p. 88. "Those adverbs which answer to the question _where, whither_
or _whence_, are called adverbs of _place_."--_Ib._, p. 116.
"Canst thou, by searching, find out God; Canst thou find out the Almighty

what canst thou know?"--_Blair's Rhet._ p. 132.
"Where, where, for shelter shall the guilty fly,
When consternation turns the good man pale."--_Ib._, p. 222.
UNDER RULE II.--QUESTIONS UNITED.
"Who knows what resources are in store? and what the power of God may do
for thee?"
[FORMULE.--Not proper, because an eroteme is set after _store_, where a
comma would be sufficient. But, according to Rule 2d for the Eroteme, "When
two or more questions are united in one compound sentence, the comma,
semicolon, or dash, is sometimes used to separate them, and the eroteme
occurs after the last only." Therefore, the comma should here be preferred,
as the author probably wrote the text. See _Key_.]
"The Lord is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he
should repent. Hath he said it? and shall he not do it? Hath he spoken it?
and shall he not make it good?"--_Murray's Gram._, 8vo, p. 353; 12mo, 277;
_Hiley's_, 139; _Hart's_, 181. "_Hath the Lord said it? and shall he not do
it? Hath he spoken it? and shall he not make it good_?"--_Lennie's Gram._,
p. 113; _Bullions's_, 176.
"Who calls the council, states the certain day?
Who forms the phalanx, and who points the way."
--_Brit. Poets_, vi, 376.
