LESSON I--RELATIVES

[FORMULE--Not proper, because the word _that_ had not clearly the construction either of a pronoun or of a conjunction But, according to Observation 18th, on the Classes of pronouns, ”The word _that_, or indeed any other word, should never be so used as to leave the part of speech uncertain” Therefore, the expression should be altered: thus, ”_While_ we attend to this pause, every appearance of _singsong_ o to all that I shall send thee”--_Jeremiah_, i, 7; _Gurney's Obs_, p 223 ”Ah! how happy would it have been for me, had I spent in retiredom”--See _Sanborn's Gram_, p 242 ”In the same manner that relative pronouns and their antecedents are usually parsed”--_Ib_, p 71 ”Parse orexamples, in the sa”--_Ib_, p 8 ”The passive verb will always be of the person and number that the verb _be_ is, of which it is in part coht that a verb must always be of the same person and number that its nominative is”--_Ib_, p 68 ”A relative pronoun, also, ender that its antecedent is”--_Ib_, p 68
”The subsequent is always in the same case that the word is, which asks the question”--_Ib_, p 95 ”_One_ sometimes represents an antecedent noun in the same definite manner that personal pronouns do”--_Ib_, p 98 ”Thecarried forward to the time that an event happens, easily conceives it to be present”--_Ib_, p 107 ”_Save_ and _saving_ are parsed in the sa_ are”--_Ib_, p
123 ”Adverbs describe, qualify, orof a verb in the same manner that adjectives do nouns”--_Ib_, p 16 ”The third person singular of verbs, is formed in the same manner, that the plural number of nouns is”--_Ib_, p 41 ”He saith further: 'that the apostles did not anew baptize such persons, that had been baptized with the baptism of John'”--_Barclay's Works_, i, 292 ”For hich live, are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake”--_2 Cor_, iv, 11 ”For they, which believe in God, ood works”--_Barclay's Works_, i, 431 ”Nor yet of those which teach things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake”--_Ib_, i, 435 ”So as to hold such bound in heaven, whom they bind on earth, and such loosed in heaven, whom they loose on earth”--_Ib_, i, 478 ”Now, if it be an evil to do any thing out of strife; then such things that are seen so to be done, are they not to be avoided and forsaken?”--_Ib_, i, 522 ”All such who satisfy theion”--_Ib_, ii, 23 ”And he is the same in substance, what he was upon earth, both in spirit, soul and body”--_Ib_, iii, 98 ”And those that do not thus, are such, to whom the Church of Rome can have no charity”--_Ib_, iii, 204 ”Before his book he placeth a great list of that he accounts the blasphemous assertions of the Quakers”--_Ib_, iii, 257 ”And this is that he should have proved”--_Ib_, iii, 322 ”Three of which were at that time actual students of philosophy in the university”--_Ib_, iii, 180 ”Therefore it is not lawful for any whatsoeverto force the consciences of others”--_Ib_, ii, 13 ”What is the cause that the former days were better than these?”--_Eccl_, vii, 10 ”In the same manner that the term _my_ depends on the name _books_”--_O B Peirce's Gram_, p 54 ”In the same manner as the term _house_ depends on the relative _near_”--_Ib_, p

LESSON II--DECLENSIONS
”_Other_ makes the plural _others_, when it is found without it's substantive”--_Priestley's Gram_, p 12
[FORMULE--Not proper, because the pronoun _it's_ is written with an apostrophe But, according to Observation 25th, on the Declensions of pronouns, ”The possessive case of pronouns should never be written with an apostrophe” Therefore, this apostrophe should be omitted; thus, ”_Other_ makes the plural _others_, when it is found without its substantive”]

”Their's the wild chace of false felicities: His, the compos'd possession of the true”
--_Murray's E Reader_, p 216

”It is the boast of Aovernment is the most free and perfect, which exists on the earth”--_Dr
Allen's Lectures_, p 18
[FORMULE--Not proper, because the relative _which_ is here intended to be taken in a restrictive sense But, according to Observation 26th, on the Classes of pronouns, (and others that follow it,) the word _who_ or _which_, with a co term
Therefore, _which_ should be _that_, and the coovernment is the most free and perfect _that_ exists on the earth”]
