"It is the boast of Americans, without distinction of parties, that their government 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 comma before it, does not usually limit the preceding term. Therefore, _which_ should be _that_, and the comma should be omitted; thus,--"that their government is the most free and perfect _that_ exists on the earth."] "Children, who are dutiful to their parents, enjoy great prosperity."--_Sanborn's Gram.
