supposed him to be innocent, _but_ he certainly was not _so_."--_Murray et al. cor._ "They accounted him honest, _but_ he certainly was not _so_."--_Felch cor._ "Be accurate in all you say or do; for _accuracy_ is important in all the concerns of life."--_Brown's Inst._, p. 268. "Every law supposes the transgressor to be wicked; _and_ indeed he is _so_, if the law is just."--_Ib._ "To be pure in heart, pious, and benevolent, (_and_ all may be _so_,) constitutes human happiness."--_Murray cor._ "To be dexterous in danger, is a virtue; but to court danger to show _our dexterity_, is _a_ weakness."--_Penn cor._ UNDER NOTE XIV.--SENTENCES FOR ANTECEDENTS. "This seems not so allowable in prose; which _fact_ the following erroneous examples will demonstrate."--_L.

"In things of Nature's workmanship, whether we regard their internal or _their_ external structure, beauty and design are equally conspicuous."--_Kames cor._ "It puzzles the reader, by making him doubt whether the word ought to be taken in its proper, or _in its_ figurative sense."--_Id._ "Neither my obligations to the muses, nor _my_ expectations from them, are so great."--_Cowley cor._ "The Fifth Annual R
