CdPyRIGKT, 18,9:*, I^«/itdoes
not pour."
Note IV. — What, when it equals that which, is
a double pronoun, which being the relative and that
the antecedent; as, I see what you mean, i.e., I see
that which you mean. ^
What when used otherwise is interrogative or
iXdamatory; as, What said he ? What evil have I
done? What ho! I asked what he meant.
22 Kinds of Nouns,
The relative who is thus declined in both
numbers, singular and plural;
Norn, who,
Poss, whose,
Obj, whom.
Which and that have no case-endings.
Remark I. — Who is applied lo persons only; which,
to things only; and that, to both persons and things.
Remark II. — The relative takes ih^ gender, number^
and person oi lis antecedent ; as, I who speak. Thou
who speakest. The man or woman who speaks. We,
ye, or they who speak.
Remark III. — Whose is sometimes used for of
which; as, ** Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like
the sea."
Interrogative Pronouns.
Interrogative Pronouns are in form like
the relatives. They are used in asking ques-
tions, and have no antecedents; as, Who did
it ? What said he ? Whose son are you ?
Whom have I offended ? I wonder who he
is?
Remark. — The interrogative maybe the antecedent
of a relative; as. Who that has common sense can
think so? But one relative can never be the antece-
dent of another.
Adjective Pronouns.
Adjective Pronouns are in form adjec-
tives- with their nouns understood; as. One

is sick. Allot her is dead. Many are called :
few are chosen.
Remarks upon the Noun.
Nouns in English have no case-endings
for the nominative and objective, which are
both alike in form. The difference between
them is in their tise only.
The possessive case of nouns, whether
singular or plural, is formed by adding to
the nominative an apostrophe ('). To this,
when the word does not end with "j," an
".y" is to be added; as, Man, maris; men,
mens. Princess, princess'; princesses, prin-
cesses'.
Note I. — Sometimes, when the noun itself ends with
** J," we find an "j " added after the apostrophe ; but
of this there seems no need. To prevent a hissing
sound, after such words a.s peace, cottscience, etc., noth-
ing but the apostrophe is put when the next word
begins with an "j."
Note II. — The number of ownerships is shown by
the number of apostrophes ; as, Cain and Abel's
father — one father for both; Cain's and Abel's father
— one father for each.
Absolutes.
A noun or pronoun whose case depends
upon no other word is said to be absolute^ or
independent; as, ''Sir" or "Madam." "O

me/' This last is the only objective abso-
lute. " Sir " and " Madam " are nominatives
of address (or vocatives^.
The absolute word, though depending on
nothing, may often have something depend-
ing upon it; as, *' This done, the rest is
easy."
Examples.
Relatives and Interrogatives.

1. They that touch pitch will be defiled.
2. What have I done ?
3. I tell you that which you yourselves do
know.
4. What thou doest, do quickly.
5. Who was it that thus cried?
6. What do you mean ?
7. Ye have what I advise.
8. Whose son art thou ?
9. 111 blows the wind that profits nobody.
10. Repent what's past, avoid what is to
come.
11. He most shall merit who can most en-
dure.
12. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,
whose heart is stayed on Thee.
PART III.— VERBS.
Conjugation.
To conjugate a verb is to name four
things — its mood, tense, person, and num-
ber. A verb takes its person and number
from its subject^ with which it is, therefore,
said to agree. Mood and tense belong
wholly to the verb.
Mood means 7nanner. Tense means time.
Moods.
There are five moods : the Infinitive, the
Indicative, the Potential, the Subjunctive,
and the Imperative.
Finite means limited; and infinitive means
not-X\m\\,^^.
The infinitive mood is that form of the
verb which alone is not limited — as are all
the other moods — by person and number.
Its sign is the word to ; as, to be, to love, to
die.
Note. — A verb in any other mood than the infinitive
is called, by way of distinction, d, finite verb.
25
26 Verbs.
Finite Moods.
The indicative mood is that form of the
verb which simply indicates, or declares a
fact, or asks a question; as, I know him.
Who knows him ?
The potential mood is that form of the
verb which expresses liberty, possibility, or
necessity ; as, may, ox can, or must go.
The subjunctive mood is that form of
the verb which expresses some doubt, con-
dition, or contingency ; as, If thou go.
Were I a king.
The imperative mood is that form of the
verb which expresses a co7nmand, exJiorta-
tio7t, or entreaty ; as. Obey me. Excuse my
mistake. Forgive us our trespasses.
Tense.
There are three natural divisions of time,
— the present, the past, and the future. In
Grammar the past and the ftiture are sub-
divided ; the past into three tenses — pret-
erit, perfect, and pluperfect — and the
future into two — the first and the second
future, or the future and the future per-
fect. Hence we have six tenses :
Tenses. 27
The Present,
to tell what is happening now; as, He
sleeps.
Past Tenses.
The preterit, to tell what happened in
time fully past; as, He slept last night,
yesterday, or the day before.
The perfect, to tell what has happened
in time not fully past ; as. He has slept to-
day, this week, or month, or year — any time
not yet over.
The pluperfect, to tell what had hap-
pened before some other past event ; as, Be-
fore I woke him, he had slept an hour.
Future Tenses.
The future (or first future), to tell what
will happen in time to come;" as. He imll
sleep to-morrow, or the next day, or next
week.
The future-perfect (or second future),
to tell what zvill have happened before some
other future event ; as, Before I wake him,
he zvill have slept an hour.
Note I. — The present and preterit tenses may
always be expressed in one word; as, He sleeps; he

slept. Each of the other tenses requires its own
tense-sign; as, **have,*' for the perfect; '' had,'* iox
the pluperfect; '' shair* or ''will'' for the future;
" shall have " or " will have,'* for the future-perfect.
Note II. — To form the perfect, the pluperfect,
and the future-perfect tenses, we must add to the
tense-signs ''have*' and "had,** a word called a
participle.
The Participle.
There are three kinds of participles:
present, past, and perfect.
The present participle is formed from
the present indicative, and always ends in
ing ; as, Love, loving; teach, teaching.
The past participle is likewise formed
from the present indicative, and regularly
ends in d ; as, Love, loved ; call, called.
Irregular participles must be separately
learned. (See p. 35.)
The perfect participle is formed by pre-
fixing the word " having '' (from the tense-
sign ''have'') to the past participle; as,
Having loved ; having called.
Principal Parts of the Verb.
The principal parts of the verb are four:
namely, the one-zvord tenses — the present
and the preterit indicative ; and the one^

word participles — the present and the
past ; as, Love^ loved ; loving^ loved.

to be. This word may be shall or will — the
signs of the Future Indicative — or an Imperative
— a something to be done ; or nouns, such as

Remark. — After the subjects "hope," ''wish,"
etc., the Subjunctive member is used as the attribute;

34 Verbs.
Note I. — The only personal endings of a verb in
any mood are " t " or " st " for the 2d person singular;
and "s" for the 3d person singular in the present

Note II. — Any verb is neuter for which the verbs
"to be" or " to become" may be substituted; as,

Remarks on Conjugation.
All verbs may be conjugated according
to this pattern of the verb " to be ; " as,
Do, did, doing, done.
PRES. IND. PRET. IND.
I do, we do. I did, we did.
Thou dost, you do. Thou didst, you did.
He does,"^ they do. He did, they did.
Besides this simple form of the one-word
tenses — present and preterit — there are
two compound forms. One makes use of the
word above, " do " ; as, I do love. Thou dost
love. He does love, for the present ; and I
did love. Thou didst love, He didlowQ, for the
preterit. This form is generally used in
denying a fact ; as, I did not love, etc. The
other makes use of iht present participle \ing\
which is added to any part of the verb "to
be "; as, I am doing. Thou art doing ; I was
* In the third person singular, the solemn stylQ .
changes s to th; as, he giveth, taketh, etc.
Some Irregular Verbs.
35
doing. Thou wast doing, etc. This form, in
all the moods and tenses of the verb, ex-
presses continuance.
Formation of Passive Verbs.
To form the passive verb, add to any
part of the verb ''to be'' the one-zvord past
participle of the transitive verb ; as,
I am loved. Thou art loved, He is loved,
" " seen, " " seen, " " seen,
" " sent, " " sent, " " sent.
" " taught, " " taiight, *' " taught.
Note. — The Past Participle is always «^«-transi-
tive.

the infinitive that follows it; as, "I ought to go; I
ought to Jiave gone.^^
After the verb '' have^'' the infinitive implying a
need or obligation, may be parsed as the object, " We

to sleep; or, we have need of sleeping, etc.

A Suggestion to the Teacher.
Here the Analysis, p. 47, and Rules L, H.,
HI., IV., p. 65, may be learned and appHed.
To begin the analysis with the finite verb ;
to determine whether the verb is transitive
or ;/(?;/-transitive, and so finis Ji the predicate
before seeing the subject, is to master the
difficulties.
PART IV.— REMARKS UPON ADJEC-
TIVES, ADVERBS, CONJUNCTIONS,
AND PREPOSITIONS.
Remarks upon Adjectives.
An Adjective either shows the quality y
quantity, or rank of the noun which it modi-
fies ; or merely demonstrates, or singles it
out ; as, A good character, A large fortune,
ThQ first martyr. This or that man.
'* Comparison " of Adjectives.
To compare an adjective is either to in-
crease or lessen its force. There are three
grades, or degrees, of comparison, called
positive, comparative, and superlative ; as.
Great, greater, greatest ; good, better, best.
The simplest form of the adjective is the
positive. From this the comparative is reg-
tilarly formed by adding er ; and the super-
lative, by adding est ; or by prefixing the
adverbs more and most, or less and least ; as,
(Pos.) happy — (Cojnp.) happier, or 7nore happy
— (Superl.) happiest, or most happy ; less
happy, least happy.
42
Memory Lines. 43
Irregular comparisons must be separately
learned.
Memory Lines.
To bodies, color, shape y and sisie
And iveight, the adjective supplies ;
And gives to things we cannot see
Their rank, and zvorth, and quality.
Remarks upon Adverbs.
An adverb shows the tirne, place, manner,
means, cause, degree, purpose, or consequence^
or merely asks about these things ; as, I
shall go zvhen he comes. When will he come ?
The tree fell zvhere it stood. Where did it
stand ? etc.
" Comparison " of Adverbs.
Adverbs that admit of comparison follow
always the pattern of the adjective ; as,
Gladly, more gladly, 7nost gladly ; well, bet-
ter, best, etc.
Memory Lines.
The time, Xh^ place, or whither, whence ;
The manner how, the reason zvhy :
T\\Q purpose, cause, and consequence —
The adverb Can alone supply.
44 Adjectives, Adverbs, Conjunctions,
Conjunctions and Prepositions.
A conjunction is a link-word that stands
between other words. It is generally an ad-
verb in use ; but the following five are simple
conjunctions : And, but, yet, or, either ; as, I
and\\^. He is old, but happy.
A preposition is a word that stands before
another word, with which it forms a phrase,
the two together generally equalling an ad-
verb ; as. At night {zvhen). With companions
{Jiozv), In prison {where). For stealing {zvhy).
Sometimes, but rarely, it equals an adjec-
tive ; as, " He is of age,'' "A man ^/honor.'*
"He is about to speak."
Note I. — The preposition is sometimes (and often
in poetry) written after the word it governs ; but in
analysis it must be placed before ; as, The boy whom
I asked for. The boy for whom I asked.
Note II. — Prepositions standing alone are always
adverbs ; as, He went up as I cameV(72£/«.
Apposition.
When a noun or pronoun is used, like an
adjective, to explain another noun or pro-
noun, it is said to be in apposition with the
word which it explains and agrees with it
in case ; as, "Christ our Lord,'' "Simon, son
List of Prepositions. 45
of Jonas,*' •* I, Paul myself,'' " Hamlet the
Dane,'"
Note. — The word in apposition never stands in the
done, and may always be substituted for the word it
explains, without changing the sense.
N. B. — The Relative is 7iever so used.
List of Prepositions.
With on for after, at by in,
Against instead of, near, between,
By off from under, down below,
Through over up, according to,
Athwart across, beyond about,
Before, behind, within, without,
Among, around, amidst, above,
Toward notwithstanding, into of,
Beside aboard, betwixt upon —
Are Prepositions, every one.
Note. — Some of these words are often grafted upon
a verb (sometimes at the beginning of it, sometimes
at the end) so as to form 2i part of it; as, overzova^^
undergo, overlook, etc. In the passive form they
come at the end of the verb; as, The reference was
looked n/>, the author found out and sent /or.
The added word gives a new meaning to the verb,
and is a real part of it.
PART v.— THE SENTENCE AND ITS
KINDS.
The Sentence.
A sentence is a group of words making
complete sense, and marked by a period ; as,
** Time flies." '* Seasons return." *' Life is
real."
Note. — The sign of Question (?) or Exclamation (!)
is sometimes put in place of the period, but only as
a /^«• is -f"

Adjective word ; as, " An honest man."
Adjective phrase ; as, '* A man of honor, ''
Adjective member ; as, " A man who is honest.'*
Adverb word; as, " The dew iacUs gently.*'
Adverb phrase ; as, "The dew falls at twilight.**
Adverb number; as, "The dew falls when the sun
sets.'*
Remark. — No adverb word or phrase stands in the
bone.
Note. — When the subject is a group of words, we
mark it thus : >■ ; when the object or attribute is a
.' using the sign t \ to mark a
group, thus : X group object, and the sign Att. to
' mark a group attribute.
50 The Sentence and its Kinds.
The Three Kinds of Sentences.
Every sentence is simple, or compound,
or complex.
A simple sentence consists of one sub-
ject and one predicate ; as, " God is good."*
N. B. — A sentence with less than ivjo complete m^m-
bers must always remain simple ; as, "1 know God is
good,*' For, so long as a transitive verb stands with-
out its object there is no complete member, nor can
there be a second member till the Jirst is finished.
See pp. 53 and 54.
A compound sentence consists of two
or mor^ independent members, connected
by one of the five simple conjunctions ; viz.,
a?id, buty yet, either, or ; as, ** Men may come
and men may go, but I go on forever."
A complex sentence is one that contains
an adjective or an adverb manber ; as, " Small
service is true service while it lasts." ** He
prayeth best who loveth best."
An adjective member is one that contains
a relative pronoujty expressed or understood,
in the bone of it ; i.e., 7tot governed by a

54) is used as subject, attribute, or object, the kind
of the sentence in which it occurs is in no wise
changed. The same is true of a group in apposi-
tion.
The Three Kinds of Sentences.
51
preposition ; "^ as, " Who was seen." " Whom
you saw." ** Whose son you are."
Att.
Example. The boy — is -f- absent.
You — seek + whom
You — have -\- book
who — did + it
Att.
is -|- absent,
whose
An adverb member is introduced by an
adverb expressed or understood ; as, ** While
the sun shines." " WJien the wind blows."
" Were it so." " Had I been present."
The relative with its governing preposition
forms, generally, an adverb phrase.
Example. The boy
You — speak I
of whom
You — are interested
in whom
o
You — sent + it
I to whom
for "
by "
with "
from "
* Exception.— When of -which, or of whom, equals
whose, the member is an adjective in use ; as, "The
man of whom you drew a likeness, is dead,"
52 The Sentence and its Kinds,
Note I. — A sentence containing a relative pronoun
is always complex in construction.
Note II. — The antecedent is sometimes understood;
as, Who steals my purse, steals trash : or the Rela-
tive ; as. Take the goods the gods provide thee : or
the Preposition before the relative ; as, I left the day
that he came : or both Relative and Prepositioji ; as, I
left the day he came.
Note III. — Datives and ablatives are, in use, ad-
verbs.
Introductory Words.
That and there are often introductory
words : there, when it does not mean in
that place ; as, " There are two;" ^wdi that,
when it merely introduces a member ; as,
" That he is honest." When so used these
words have no real value in parsing or
analysis, and are therefore left out.
The Subject of the Infinitive.
When the member introduced by ^^ that'*
is the object of a transitive verb, the " that "
may be omitted without changing the sense ;
as, '' I think that he is honest," = I —
think -[- j he — is + honest. Here we may
change the finite verb is into the infinitive
to be, and the nominative he into the ob-
The Infinitive Member, , 53
jective case him ; as, I — think \ him — to
Att. . ^
be 4- honest."^
Note. — The neuter verb to be, or to become, in this
construction, is often understood; as, "I think him
honest."
The Infinitive Member.
As \,\\c finite member used as subject , attri-
bute, or apposition, demands the word " that,'*
so the infinitive member, used in Hke man-
ner, demands the word '' for'' \ as, For him
) Att.
— to lie \ is -f- impossible — i.e., that he should
lie. It may be used also as the object of a
preposition; as. There is no reason / Att.
I >• to be -|- honest; i.e., /^^w to be honest,
him )
or the virtue of honesty — not the fact that he is so.
54 "The Sentence and its Kinds.
comes in Latin, generally, the accusative with the
infinitive ; as,
I -know \ God - is + good.
( Deum — esse + bonum,
Att. I ^ Att.
Deum — esse -|- bonum f — is -f certain.
Att.
I — am + certain.
I Att.
Deum — esse -\- bonu7?t.
Remark. — When, instead of the introductory word
thaty the member is introduced by an interrogative
(or question) word — as, who? which? what? when?
where ? whether ? why? etc. — it takes in Latin, in-
stead oi the infinitive, the verb in the subjunctive; as,
I — ask -)-i who — comes.
( quis — veniat.
I — ask +-< why, how, when, he — comes.
( cur, quomodo, quando veniat.
Note IIL — After some verbs, such as name, call,
keepy hold, etc., there seems to be sometimes an infini-
tive understood; as, " I'll call thee Hamlet.'' " Keep
thyself pure.'" The last word in each of these sen-
tences is an attribute, for it completes the sense.
Remark. — The object of such verbs is no single
word, but a group of words showing 2i fact or result
brought about by the subject. Frost cannot make
leaves^ nor can fire keep a house; but frost makes
leaves fall ^ and fire keeps a house warm. (See p. 63.)
'' Thatr 55
" That/'
, When tJiat — the, it is, in use, an adjec-
tive ; as, " I bought that book."
Remark. — The plural of the adjective "that" is
"these."
When that = who or ivhich, it is, in use,
a relative ; as, " The man that you saw is
dead." When so used, it must, if it follows
a preposition, be changed to which or whom.
See p. 21, Note i.
When that — on purpose that, or that in
consequence, it is, in use, an adverb ; as, ** I
come tJiat I may bring him." " He was so
kind that I loved him."
When that may be omitted without chang-
ing the sense, it is merely introductory ; as,
** I hope that he is at rest."
Note. — That as a relative is preferable to who or
which —
1. When the principal member begins with // ; as,
" It was I that spoke."
2. After the adjective same; as, "This is the
same man that I saw."
3. After any adjective in the superlative degree ;
as, " The oldest that I know."
4. Whenever the gender of the antecedent is
doubtful ; as, " The child that you met."
5. When the relative is restrictive. (See p. 69,
Note III.)
56 The Sentence and its Kinds,
" It."
This word is often used with a group in
apposition;'^ as, " It is base to lie." " It is
certain that he died." To use the apposi-
tion in place of "it," often simplifies the
fAtt.
is 4" base. That he
died {• is -|- certain.
"When," "Where," Etc.
Whenever these words are not Interrog-
ative, they equal the relative " which " and
a preposition, and either refer to a foregoing
noun, or else to a noim and preposition under-
stood in such words as " then " and " there."
When the foregoing noun is expressed
" when " and " where " should be analyzed
as phrases ; as, " O'er the grave where (in
which) our hero lies sleeping." " It was the
time when {at which) lilies blow."
" Than.^^
The conjunction " than'' always introduces
another member, of which one of the princi-
pal parts is often understood ; as, " He is
older than I [am old)!' " Lovest thou me
more than these ?" i.e., than these love me.
* See p. 45.
The Question.
57
Absolutes.
(See Part II., last paragraph.)
Absolutes, to show that they depend
upon nothing, may be indicated thus :
this
done
Sir
me
Note. — The absolute with a dependent participle
equals an adverb member, as do also such expres-
sions as " generally speaking," "strange to say,"
'* considering the circumstances," "to tell the
truth," etc., which are likewise rt<^j^/i^/^. V.g., "This
done" = When this is, was, or had been, done.
" Generally speaking " = if we speak in general, etc.
Obs. — In Latin, the absolute noun and its participle
are put in the ablative case.
The Question.
There are two kinds of question — Direct
and Indirect, (See p. 6i.)
The Direct question is a whole sentence
ending with a question-mark ; as. Who did
it? What have I said ? How, when, where,
why was he chosen ?
The Indirect question is 2^ part 6f a sen-
tence ; i.e., it is used as subject, object, at-
tribute, or apposition in the sentence of
which it forms a part ; as. Who did it is
58 The Sentence and its Kinds,
doubtful. I know wJio did it. The question
is wJio did it. It is doubtful how^ wheUy
where y why he did it, (See p. 61.)
N.B. — No question-mark goes with the Indirect
question.

PART VI.— RULES FOR PARSING,
AND REMARKS UPON THE
CASES.
Rules for Parsing.
(Inside the Bone.)
I. The subject of a finite verb is put in
the nominative case.
II. The finite verb agrees with its subject
in person and number.
III. Transitive verbs and their transitive
participles always govern the objective case,
and no other verb ever does,
IV. Non-transitive verbs, and all their
participles, take the same case after them as
before them.
V. The subject of the infinitive is put in
the objective (accusative) case.
(Outside the Bone.)
VI. The possessive is governed by the
name of the thing possessed ; as, JoJins hat,
my glove.
65
66
Rules for Parsing.
VII. Prepositions govern the objective
case ; as, For me, by thee, witJi him.
VIII. Apposition. Nouns or pronouns
are put by apposition in the same case as the
noun or pronoun they explain ; as, / Paul
myself. The Emperor Alexander. Peter
the Hermit. (" N. B.," p. 45.)
IX. Absolute. Words whose case de-
pends upon no other words are said to be
absolute, or independent ; as, '' Sir " or
" Madam ; " '* O me," etc.
Remarks upon the Cases.
The nominative case — which can never
be goverfied — may be used in four ways :
inside of the bone, as subject and attribute ;
outside of the bone, as apposition and abso-
lute ; as,
" O father, Jacob dead and gone,
I, Joseph, am your only son ! "
Subj. Att.
I — am-}- son
\ App.
Joseph
Abs.
O father
Abs.
I
ace
) b
/
\
dead
and
gone
The possessive case — which is never in-
side of the bone — may be used in tivo ways
* Observe the sign of apposition, |.
Remarks upon the Cases. 67
only : either as governed by the noun which
it modifies, or else as apposition ; as, Brother
Joseph's coat.
coat
I
Joseph's
I
brother
The objective case — which is sometimes
governed and sometimes ;/^/— may be used
in six ways. In the same four ways as the
nominative — subject and attribute, inside of
the bone ; and apposition and absolute^ outside;
as,
*' O me ! I fancied him
To be my brother Jim."
Subj. Att.
him— to be-j-brother
I — fancied \ \
Abs.
O me!
4. App.
Jim
In only two ways may the objective case
be governed : by a transitive verb, or by a
preposition; as, "I sent him to school."
o
I — sent + him
to school.
68 Negatives — Participles,
Hence in tivelve ways may the cases be
used : the nominative, four ways ; the pos-
sessive, two ways ; the objective, six ways.
Special Remarks on the Negative, the
Participle, the Relative, Joint Refer-
ence, and Comparison.
Negatives. — Avoid double negatives ; as,
" He did not do it, I don't think " ; "I did
not tell nobody." Omit the second negative.
The participle. — I. Participles, when not
governed by prepositions, are always in con-
struction adjectives, and should, therefore,
clearly refer to their nouns. When the
reference is not clear, the fault may be cor-
rected by substituting a common noun, a
phrase, or a member, '' Being conscious of
guilt, death becomes terrible." This may be
corrected in all three ways : as, the conscious-
ness of guilt, or with the consciousness, or
when we are conscious, ** Opening the window,
the bird flew in." Here any of the follow-
ing substitutions may be made : ** When we
opened the window," or " We opening the
window," or *' The window being opened."
n. The participle when governed by a
preposition, forms a phrase that is generally an
adverb in use.
Relatives — Joint Reference — Comparison. 6g
III. When the participle is the leading
word in sense^ it should be so in construction ;
as, *' I admire the boy skating,'' i.e., the skat-
ing boy. I admire the boys skating, i.e., the
skating of the boy.
The relative. — The relative should stand
as near as possible to its antecedent. " A man
will never slander a neighbor zvJio is chari-
table." Here the relative should follov/ its
antecedent, ''man.''
Joint reference. — When two words or
phrases x^i^x jointly to a third, they should
conform to it in sense and construction ; as,
'' I never have, and never shall forget him."
Here, after ** have," the sense requires '' for-
gotten." '' He was more anxious to have
knowledge than about showing it." Here
the two phrases should be conformed; or
made alike ; as, '' To have knowledge than
to show it," or, " about having knowledge
than about showing it."
Comparison. — Care should be taken to
complete the first term ; as, " He is as old,
and much taller than I am." Here, after
"old," the sense requires ''as''
" He is taller, but not so old as I am."
Here, after " taller,^' the sense requires
" than."
7o Parsing Exercises.
Note. — Never use '^ when'' in place of ''than'^\ as,
*• He no sooner did it when he saw his mistake."
An Anomaly.
An anomaly is something that no rule will
account for. Such is the seeming object of a
;^^«-transitive verb. ** He was told this "
** He was asked his opinion." '' He was taught
the truth." If told, asked, taught equal in-
formed, qiiestio7ied, instructed, the seeming
object then needs a governing preposition,
and so forms a group adverb.

PART VIL— RULES FOR PUNCTUA-
TION. .
Punctuation-marks.
The principal marks of punctuation are
the period (.), the colon (:), the semicolon (;),
and the comma (,). The last three are used
to show the structure of the sentence, and so
help the reader to take in the sense.
Obs. — These marks are all used to show some dis-
connection.
The Period.
Rule I. — The end of each declarative
or imperative sentence is marked by a
period : '' God is love." ^* Love thy neighbor
as thyself." ^* Love is the fulfilment of the
law."
Note. — After an interrogative sentence, the mark
?,and after an exclamatory sentence, the mark !,
take the place of a period: '* Lovest thou me?"
**How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank !"
(See p. 57 — Questions?)
105
1 06 Rules for Punctuation,
Rule II. — Initials, abbreviations, signa-
tures, addresses, and all titles, headings, and
marks of subdivision — whether figures or
letters — are followed by a period : " J. H.
Card. Newman." " To One in Paradise."
"The Ancient Mariner." "On Charity."
"The MS. of Vo). I. was written A.D. 1825."
" Sec. xviii., p. 8, Rule 2, Note A."
Note I. — Signatures and addresses are sometimes
without punctuation.
Note II. — The period after an abbrevation is not a
sign of pause, and excludes no other mark that the
words in full would need.
The Colon.
Rule. — A brief statement followed, with-
out a conjunction^ by fuller particulars, is
set off by the colon : " Three nations ac-
cepted the treaty : England, France, and
Germany." " These were her parting words :
* Stay but a little, I will come again.' "
Note. — " Namely," or ** in proof of this," or some
such expression, is implied by the colon ; which,
when the subdivision needs a semicolon^ is the best
mark to use : " He's here in double trust : first, as I
am his kinsman and his subject ; then, as his host."
The Comma. 107
The Semicolon.
Rule. — The semicolon stands in any part
of a sentence where the comma will not
show the disconnection of the groups : ''His
promises were, as he then was, mighty ; but
his performances, as he is now, nothing."
" Pr'y thee, peace ; I dare do all that may
become a man ; who dares do more, is none."
Note. — The meaning and structure oi a sentence are
both to be considered in punctuation. In the first
sentence above, four members are given — two, sep-
arated by a comma, to the ** promises,** and two,
likewise separated, to the " performances." Hence
the semicolon to set off the pairs. In the second, no
conjunction is found between the members ; and
hence the greater pause than the comma would
show.
The Comma.
The Simple Sentence.
Rule I. — The simple sentence, in general,
admits of no comma : " A thing of beauty is
a joy forever." *'The glance of melancholy
is a fearful gift."
Exception i.— When a very long group — whether
phrase or member — is used as subject y attribute, or
apposition, a comma may mark it: "That he
thought himself fully secure in his position, is much
to be regretted." ** My own hope is, a sun will
io8 Rules for Punctuation.
pierce the thickest cloud earth ever stretched."
" It were not for your quiet nor your good to let
you know my thoughts."
Exception 2. — When an object group stands before
the transitive verb, or is interrupted by it, a comma
should mark it: ''Look on it again, I dare not."
*' Then, I say, well uyiy we fight."
Remark. — In Ex. i, the length of the group is con-
sidered ; in Ex. 2, its unusual position in the sen-
tence.
Note. — A single word in an unusual position some-
times demands a comma : ** Held his head high and
cared for no man, he,'^
Rule 11. — Members of Compound and
Complex Sentences.
A. The Compound Sentence.
When the members are eiiiphatically dis-
tinct in construction, or of very unequal
lengthy the comma should separate them : " I
listened, but I could not hear.'* *^ I woke,
and we were sailing on as in a gentle
weather." " I am the vine, and my Father
is the husbandman."
Note. — Emphatic distinction is sometimes made by
a difference in subjects, moods, or tenses. The most
emphatic is between yes and no: as, "He heard it,
but he heeded not."
The Comma, 109
B, The Complex Sentence.
When a member stands in its natural /^j/-
tion and restricts what it modifies, no comma
goes before it.^ When out of its natural
position, or ;/i7«-restrictive, it is marked by
the comma.
'* If you have tears, prepare to shed them
now." "They that have done this deed are
honorable." "He was never, but where he
meant to ruin, pitiful."
Note I. — The natural position of the relative pro-
noun is after its antecedent ; that of the adverb mem-
ber, after the leading member.
Note II. — A member, a phrase, or a word is re-
strictive when, zuithotct it, the meaning of the rest of
the sentence would be false or obscure; as, *'No man
that hath a blemish, shall come nigh." " He that
overcometh shall inherit all things." Without the re-
strictive member, the first sentence would h^ false',
the second, obscure. " The sailors, who were all
Catholics, attended Mass in a body." Here the
member is ;?a." — Smart.
2. Before the answer to a question, upon
the same line : *^ Who comes here ? " — '^ A
friend."
3. To show omitted letters in the body of
a word : " The Rev. C y of B n is
expected." ** Hum, hum, hum — m — m ! "
Curves.
Rule. — Words entirely broken from the
structure that surround them, should be set
off by curves of parenthesis : ** His death
(what a blessing !) had long been expected."
Instead of the curves the dash may be used.
Note. — Punctuate the rest as if the curves were
omitted ; and the words within the curves, as if they
Hyphen — Apostrophe. 115
stood alone : " There was a lady once ('tis an old
story) that would not be a queen." " She gave (who
can deny it?) all she had."
Capitals and Hyphened Words, and
Apostrophe.
Capitals. — Every sentence and proper noun
should begin with a capital, as also the adjec-
tives formed from proper nouns. Titles and
headings, and very important single words
begin, and are sometimes spelled throughout,
with capitals.
Hyphened Words. — The hyphen (a short
dash) is sometimes used to connect com-
pound words ; as, printing-press, man-of-war,
son-in-law, etc. When in doubt, consult the
dictionary. It is also used at the end of a
line when some syllable of the end-word is
carried over to the line following. A syllable
is never to be broken.
The Apostrophe. — The apostrophe Q is
used to show that some letter or letters of a
word are left out ; as, "- e'er " for " ever,"
" it's " for *' it is," '* 'tis " for *' it is," etc.

THE RAVEN.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered,
weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of for-
gotten lore.
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there
came a tapping.
As of some one gently rapping — rapping at my
chamber door.
*' 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, '* tapping at my
chamber door ;
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak
December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost
upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow ; vainly I had sought
to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow — sorrow for
the lost Lenore,
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels
name Lenore,
Nameless here for evermore.
135
136 For Analysis and Punctuation,
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each pur-
ple curtain
Thrilled me — filled me — with fantastic terrors
never felt before ;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I
stood repeating,
'''Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my
chamber door —
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my cham-
ber door ;
This it is, and nothing more."
Presently my soul grew stronger ; hesitating then
no longer,
''Sir," said I, ''or Madam, truly your forgive-
ness I implore ;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you
came rapping.
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my
chamber door.
That I scarce was sure I heard you." Here I
opened wide the door.
Darkness there, and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood
there, wondering, fearing.
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared
to dream before.
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness
gave no token,
TJu Raven. 137
And the only word there spoken was the whis-
pered word, * ' Lenore ! ' '
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the
word, ' * Lenore ! ' '
Merely this, and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul with-
in me burning.
Soon again I heard a tapping, something louder
than before.
*' Surely," said I, '^surely that is something at
my window-lattice ;
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mys-
tery explore ;
Let my heart be still a moment, and this mystery
explore ;
'Tis the wind, and nothing more."
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a
flirt and flutter.
In there stepped a stately Raven of the saintly
days of yore.
Not the least obeisance made he, not a minute
stopped or stayed he.
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my
chamber door —
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my
chamber door —
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
138 For Analysis afid Punctuation.
Then this ebon bird beguiling my sad fancy into
smiling,
By the. grave and stern decorum of the counte-
nance it wore,
*' Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I
said, *' art sure no craven.
Ghastly, grim, and ancient Raven, wandering
from the Nightly shore.
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's
Plutonian shore ! ' '
Quoth the Raven, *' Nevermore."
Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear dis-
course so plainly.
Though its answer little meaning, little relevancy
bore ;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human
being
Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his
chamber door —
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his
chamber door,
With such a name as ** Nevermore."
But the Raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust,
spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he
did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered, not a feather
then he fluttered.
The Raven, 139
Till I scarcely more than muttered, '* Other
friends have flown before !
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes
have flown before ! ' '
Then the bird said, * ' Nevermore. ' '
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly
spoken,
^'Doubtless," said I, '' what it utters is its only
stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmer-
ciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs
one burden bore —
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy bur-
den bore
Of * Never — nevermore ! ' "
But the Raven still beguiling all my sad soul into
smiling.
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of
bird and bust and door ;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to
linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous
bird of yore —
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and
ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking '* Nevermore."
140 For Analysis and Punctuation,
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable
expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my
bosom's core ;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at
ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight
gloated o'er.
But whose velvet violet lining, with the lamplight
gloating o'er.
She shall press, ah, nevermore !
Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed
from an unseen censer,
Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the
tufted floor.
'' Wretch ! " I cried, ^'thy God hath lent thee^
by these angels He hath sent thee
Respite — respite and nepenthe from thy memories
of Lenore !
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget the
lost Lenore ! "
Quoth the Raven, '^ Nevermore."
''Prophet ! " said I, '^hing of evil ! — prophet
still, if bird or devil !
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed
thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land
enchanted —
The Raven, 141
On his home by horror haunted — tell me truly, I
implore,
Is there — is there balm in Gilead? Tell me! — tell
me, I implore ? "
Quoth the Raven, '* Nevermore."
"Prophet ! " said I, 'Hhing of evil ! — prophet
still, if bird or devil !
By that Heaven that bends above us — by that God
we both adore !
Tell this soul with sorrow laden, if, within the
distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels
name Lenore —
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels
name Lenore ? ' '
Quoth the Raven, ** Nevermore."
'* Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend ! "
I shrieked, upstarting.
** Get thee back into the tempest and the Nights
Plutonian shore !
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy
soul hath spoken !
Leave my loneliness unbroken ! quit the bust above
my door !
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy
form from off my door ! ' *
Quoth the Raven, *' Nevermore/*
142 For Analysis and Punctuation,
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still
is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my cham-
ber door ;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's
that is dreaming.
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his
shadow on the floor ;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies float-
ing on the floor
Shall be lifted — nevermore.
— Edgar A. Foe,
THE BROOK.
Here, by this brook, we parted ; I to the East
And he for Italy — too late — too late :
One whom the strong sons of the world despise ;
For lucky rhymes to him were scrip and share,
And mellow metres more than cent for cent ;
Nor could he understand how money breeds,
Thought it a dead thing ; yet himself could make
The thing that is not as the thing that is.
had he lived ! In our schoolbooks we say.
Of those that held their heads above the crowd.
They flourish'd then or then ; but life in him
Could scarce be said to flourish, only touch'd
On such a time as goes before the leaf.
When all the wood stands in a mist of green.
And nothing perfect : yet the brook he loved,
For which, in branding summers of Bengal,
Or ev'n the sweet half- English Neilgherry air,
1 panted, seems, as I re-listen to it.
Prattling the primrose fancies of the boy,
To me that loved him ; for '^ O brook," he says,
** O babbling brook," says Edmund in his rhyme,
' * Whence come you ? " and the brook, why not ?
replies :
'43
144 For Analysis and Punctuation,
I come from the haunts of coot and hern,
I make a sudden sally,
And sparkle out among the fern,
To bicker down a valley.
By thirty hills I hurry down,
Or slip between the ridges,
By twenty thorps, a little town.
And half a hundred bridges.
Till last by Philip's farm I flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
*' Poor lad, he died at Florence, quite worn out,
Travelling to Naples. There is Darnley bridge,
It has more ivy ; there the river ; and there
Stands Philip's farm where brook and river meet.
I chatter over stony ways,
In little sharps and trebles.
I bubble into eddying bays,
I babble on the pebbles.
With many a curve my banks I fret
By many a field and fallow,
And many a fairy foreland set
With willow-weed and mallow.
I chatter, chatter, as I flow
To join the brimming river.
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
** But Philip chatter'd more than brook or bird :
Old Philip ; all about the fields you caught
The Brook, 145
His weary daylong chirping, like the dry
High-elbow'd grigs that leapt in summer grass.
. I wind about, and in and out,
With here a blossom sailing,
And here and there a lusty trout,
And here and there a grayling.
And here and there a foamy flake
Upon me, as I travel
With many a silvery waterbreak
Above the golden gravel,
And draw them all along, and flow
To join the brimming river.
For men may come and men may go.
But I go on forever.
' ' O darling Katie Willows, his one child !
A maiden of our century, yet most meek ;
A daughter of our meadows, yet not coarse ;
Straight, but as lissome as a hazel wand ;
Her eyes a bashful azure, and her hair
In gloss and hue the chestnut, when the shell
Divides threefold to show the fruit within.
'' Sweet Katie, once I did her a good turn,
Her and her far-off cousin and betrothed,
James Willows, of one name and heart with her.
For here I came, twenty years back — the week
Before I parted with poor Edmund ; crost
By that old bridge which, half in ruins then.
Still makes a hoary eyebrow for the gleam
Beyond it, where the waters marry — crost,
146 For Analysis and Punctuation.
Whistling a random bar of Bonny Doon,
And push'd at Philip's garden-gate. The gate,
Half-parted from a weak and scolding hinge,
Stuck ; and he clamor'd from a casement, * Run '
To Katie somewhere in the walks below,
* Run, Katie ! ' Katie never ran : she moved
To meet me, winding under woodbine bowers,
A little fluttered with her eyelids down.
Fresh apple-blossom, blushing for a boon.
* ' What was it ? less of sentiment than sense
Had Katie ; not illiterate ; nor of those
Who dabbling in the fount of Active tears.
And nursed by mealy-mouth'd philanthropies.
Divorce the Feeling from her mate the Deed.
^ ' She told me. She and James had quarrel'd.
Why?
What cause of quarrel ? None, she said, no cause ;
James had no cause : but when I prest the cause,
I learnt that James had flickering "jealousies
Which anger'd her. Who anger'd James? I said.
But Katie snatch'd her eyes at once from mine,
And sketching with her slender pointed foot
Some figure like a wizard pentagram
On garden gravel, let my query pass
Unclaim'd, in flushing silence, till I ask'd
If James were coming. * Coming every day/
She answer'd, * ever longing to explain,
But evermore her father came across
The Brook, 147
With some long-winded tale, and broke him short ;
And James departed vext with him and her/
How could I help her ? * Would I — was it wrong ? '
(Claspt hands and that petitionary grace
Of sweet seventeen subdued me ere she spoke)
' O would I take her father for one hour,
For one half-hour, and let him talk to me ! '
And even while she spoke, I saw where James
Made toward us, like a wader in the surf,
Beyond the brook, waist deep in meadow-sweet.
^' O Katie, what I suffered for your sake !
For in I went and call'd old Philip out
To show the farm : full willingly he rose :
He led me thro' the short sweet-smelling lanes
Of his wheat-suburb, babbling as he went.
He praised his land, his horses, his machines ;
He praised his ploughs, his cows, his hogs, his
dogs ;
He praised his hens, his geese, his guinea-hens ;
His pigeons, who in session on their roofs
Approved him, bowing at their own deserts :
Then from the plaintive mother's teat he took
Her blind and shuddering puppies, naming each,
And naming those, his friends, for whom they
were :
Then crost the common into Darnley chase
To show Sir Arthur's deer. In copse and fern
Twinkled the innumerable ear and tail.
Then, seated on a serpent-rooted beech,
148 For Analysis and Punctuation.
He pointed out a pasturing colt, and said :
* That was the four-year-old I sold the Squire/
And there he told a long long-winded tale
Of how the Squire had seen the colt at grass,
And how it was the thing his daughter wish'd,
And how he sent the bailiff to the farm
To learn the price, and what the price he ask'd,
And how the bailiff swore that he was mad,
But he stood firm ; so the matter hung ;
He gave them line : and five days after that
He met the bailiff at the Golden Fleece,
Who then and there had ofifer'd something more,
But he stood firm ; and so the matter hung ;
He knew the man ; the colt would fetch its price ;
He gave them line : and how by chance at last
(It might be May or April, he forgot.
The last of April or the first of May)
He found the bailiff riding by the farm,
And, talking from the point, he drew him in,
And there he mellow'd all his heart with ale,
Until they closed a bargain, hand in hand.
^^Then, while I breathed in sight of haven, he,
Poor fellow, could he help it ? recommenced,
And ran thro' all the coltish chronicle,
Wild Will, Black Bess, Tantivy, Tallyho,
Reform, White Rose, Bellerophon, the Jilt,
Arbaces, and Phenomenon, and the rest,
Till not to die a listener, I arose.
And with me Philip, talking still ; and so
The Brook, 149
We turn'd our foreheads from the falling sun,
And following our own shadows thrice as long
As when they follow'd us from Philip's door,
Arrived, and found the sun of sweet content
Re-risen in Katie's eyes, and all things well.
I steal by lawns and grassy plots,
I slide by hazel covers ;
I move the sweet forget-me-nots
That grow for happy lovers.
I slip, I slide, I gleam, I glance.
Among my skimming swallows ;
I make the netted sunbeam dance
Against my sandy shallows.
I murmur under moon and stars
In brambly wildernesses ;
I linger by my shingly bars ;
I loiter round my cresses ;
And out again I curve and flow
To join the brimming river.
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.
Yes, men may come and go ; and these are gone.
All gone. My dearest brother, Edmund, sleeps,
Not by the well-known stream and rustic spire,
But unfamiliar Arno, and the dome
Of Brunelleschi ; sleeps in peace : and he,
Poor Philip, of all his lavish waste of words
Remains the lean P. W. on his tomb :
I scraped the lichen from it : Katie walks
By the long wash of Australasian seas
150 For Analysis and Punctuation,
Far off, and holds her head to other stars,
And breathes in converse seasons. All are gone."
So Lawrence Aylmer, seated on a stile
In the long hedge, and rolling in his mind
Old waifs of rhyme, and bowing o'er the brook
A tonsured head in middle age forlorn,
Mused and was mute. On a sudden a low breath
Of tender air made tremble in the hedge
The fragile bindweed-bells and briony rings ;
And he look'd up. There stood a maiden near,
Waiting to pass. In much amaze he stared
On eyes a bashful azure, and on hair
In gloss and hue the chestnut, when the shell
Divides threefold to show the fruit within :
Then, wondering, ask'd her ''Are you from the
farm ? ''
'* Yes'' answer'd she. '* Pray stay a little: par-
don me ;
What do they call you?" '* Katie." ''That
were strange.
What surname ? " ''Willows." "No!" "That
is my name."
" Indeed ! " and here he look'd so self-perplext.
That Katie laugh'd, and laughing blush'd, till he
Laugh'd also, but as one before he wakes.
Who feels a glimmering strangeness in his dream.
Then looking at her; "Too happy, fresh and
fair.
Too fresh and fair in our sad world's best bloom.
The Brook. 151
To be the ghost of one who bore your name
About these meadows, twenty years ago."
** Have you not heard ? " said Katie, '^ we came
back. ,
We bought the farm we tenanted before.
Am I so like her ? so they said on board.
Sir, if you knew her in her English days.
My mother, as it seems you did, the days
That most she loves to talk of, come with me.
My brother James is in the harvest -field :
But she — you will be welcome — O, come in ! "
