, p. 3. UNDER RULE II.--OF GREATER PAUSES. "A taste _of_ a thing, implies actual enjoyment of it; but a tase [sic--KTH] _for_ it, implies only capacity for enjoyment: as, 'When we have had a true taste _of_ the pleasures of virtue, we can have no relish _for_ those of vice.'"--_Bullions cor._ "The Indicative mood simply declares a thing: as, 'He _loves_;' 'He _is_ loved:' or it asks a question; as, '_Lovest_ thou me?'"--_Id. and Lennie cor._; also _Murray_. "The Imperfect (or Past) tense represents an action or event indefinitely as past; as, 'Caesar _came_, and _saw_, and _conquered_:' or it represents the action definitely as unfinished and continuing at a certain time now entirely past; as, 'My father _was coming_ home when I met him.'"--_Bullions cor._ "Some nouns have no plural; as, _gold, silver, wisdom_: others have no singular: as, _ashes, shears, tongs_: others are alike in both numbers; as, _sheep, deer, means, news_."--_Day cor._ "The same verb may be transitive in one sense, and intransitive in an other: thus, in the sentence, 'He believes my story,' _believes_ is transitive; but, in this phrase, 'He believes in God,' it is intransitive."--_Butler cor._ "Let the divisions be _distinct_: one part should not include _an other_, but each should have its proper place, and be of importance in that place; and all the parts, well fitted together and united, should present a _perfect_ whole."--_Goldsbury cor._ "In the use of the transitive verb, there are always _three_ things implied; the _actor_, the _act_, and the _object_ acted upon: in the use of the intransitive, there are only _two_; the subject, or _the thing_ spoken of, and the _state_ or _action_ attributed to it."--_Bullions cor._ "Why labours reason? instinct were as well; Instinct, far better: what can choose, can err."--_Young_, vii, 622. UNDER RULE III.--OF INDEPENDENT QUOTATIONS. "The sentence may run thus: 'He is related to the same person, and is governed by him.'"--_Hart cor._ "Always remember this ancient proverb: 'Know thyself.'"--_Hallock cor._ "Consider this sentence: 'The boy runs swiftly.'"--_Frazee cor._ "The comparative is used thus: 'Greece was more polished than any other nation of antiquity.' The same idea is expressed by the superlative, when the word _other_ is left out: thus, 'Greece was the most polished nation of antiquity.'"--_Bullions and Lennie cor._ "Burke, in his speech on the Carnatic war, makes the follow
