e 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 whatsoever * * * to 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. 58. "James died on the day that Henry returned."--_Ib._, p. 177. 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."] "But _his, her's, our's, your's, their's_, have evidently the form of the possessive case."--_Lowth's Gram._, p. 23. "To the Saxon possessive cases, _hire, ure, eower, hira_, (that is, _her's, our's, your's, their's_,) we have added the _s_, the characteristic of the possessive case of nouns."--_Ib._, p. 23. "Upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's."--FRIENDS' BIBLE: _1 Cor._, i, 2. "In this Place _His_ Hand is clearly preferable either to Her's or It's." [220]--_Harris's Hermes_, p. 59. "That roguish leer of your's makes a pretty woman's heart ake."--ADDISON: _in Joh. Dict._ "Lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumbling-block."--FRIENDS' BIBLE: _1 Cor._, viii, 9. "First person: Sing. I, mine, me; Plur. we, our's, us."--_Wilbur and Livingston's Gram._, p. 16. "Second person: Sing. thou, thine, thee; Plur. ye or you, your's, you."--_Ib._ "Third person: Sing. she, her's, her; Plur. they, their's, them."--_Ib._ "So shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your's."--SCOTT ET AL.: _Jer._, v, 19. "Second person, Singular: Nom. thou or you, Poss. thine or yours, Obj. thee or you."--_Frost's El. of E. Gram._, p. 13. "Second person, Dual: Nom. Gyt, ye two; Gen. Incer, of ye two; Dat.
