d has its peculiar Tense, Tenses, or Times."--_Bucke cor._ "In some very ancient languages, (as the Hebrew,) which have been employed chiefly for expressing plain sentiments in the plainest manner, without aiming at any elaborate length or harmony of periods, this pronoun [the relative] occurs not so often."--_L. Murray cor._ "Before I shall say those things, O Conscript Fathers! about the public affairs, which are to be spoken at this time; I shall lay before you, in few words, the motives of the journey and the return."--_Brightland cor._ "Of well-chose words some take not care enough, And think they should be, like the subject, rough."--_Id._ "Then, having _showed_ his wounds, he'd sit him down."--_Bullions cor._ UNDER RULE II.--OF INCLUDED POINTS. "Then Jael smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it _into_ the ground: (for he was fast asleep, and weary:) so he died."--SCOTT'S BIBLE: _Judges_, iv, 21. "Every thing in the Iliad has manners, (as Aristotle expresses it,) that is, every thing is acted or spoken."--_Pope cor._ "Those nouns that end in _f_, or _fe_.

[558]--_Bullions cor._ "A captious question, sir, (and yours is one,) Deserves an answer similar, or none."--_Cowper cor._ MIXED EXAMPLES CORRECTED. "Whatever words the verb TO BE serves to unite, referring to the same thing, must be of the same case; (Sec.61;) as, '_Alexander_ is a _student_.'"--_Bullions cor._ "When the objective is a relative _or_ [_an_] interrogative, it comes before the verb that governs it: (Sec.40, Rule 9:) Murray's 6th rule is unnecessary."--_Id._ "It is generally improper, except in poetry, to omit the antecedent to a relative; and always, to omit a relative, when of the nominative case."--_Id._ "In every sentence, there must be a verb and a nominative or subject, expressed or understood."--_Id._ "Nouns and pronouns, and
