t._, p. 151. "And adding to that hissing in our language, which is so much _noticed_ by foreigners."--_Addison, Coote, and Murray, cor._ "_To speak_ impatiently to servants, or _to do_ any thing that betrays unkindness, or ill-humour, is certainly criminal." Or better: "Impatience, unkindness, or ill-humour, is certainly criminal."--_Mur. et al. cor._ "_Here are_ a _fullness_ and grandeur of expression, well suited to the subject."--_Dr. Blair cor._ "I single _out_ Strada _from_ among the moderns, because he had the foolish presumption to censure Tacitus."--_L. Murray cor._ "I single him out _from_ among the moderns, because," &c.--_Bolingbroke cor._ "This _rule is not_ always observed, even by good writers, _so_ strictly as it ought to be."--_Dr. Blair cor._ "But this gravity and assurance, which _are_ beyond boyhood, being neither wisdom nor knowledge, do never reach to manhood."--_Pope cor._ "The regularity and polish even of a turnpike-road, _have_ some influence upon the low people in the neighbourhood."--_Kames cor._ "They become fond of regularity and neatness; _and this improvement of their taste_ is displayed, first upon their yards and little enclosures, and next within doors."--_Id._ "The phrase, '_it is impossible to exist_,' gives us the idea, _that it is_ impossible for men, or any body, to exist."--_Priestley cor._ "I'll give a thousand _pounds_ to look upon him."--_Shak. cor._ "The reader's knowledge, as Dr. Campbell observes, may prevent _him from_ mistaking it."--_Crombie and Murray cor._ "When two words are set in contrast, or in opposition to _each_ other, they are both emphatic."--_L. Murray cor._ "The number of _the_ persons--men, women, and children--who were lost in the sea, was very great." Or thus: "The number of persons--men, women, and children--_that_ were lost in the sea, was very great."--_Id._ "Nor is the resemblance between the primary and _the_ resembling object pointed out."--_Jamieson cor._ "I think it the best book of the kind, _that_ I have met with."--_Mathews cor._ "Why should not we their ancient rites restore, And be what Rome or Athens _was_ before?"--_Roscommon cor._ LESSON XII.--TWO ERRORS. "It is labour only _that_ gives relish to pleasure."--_L. Murray cor._ "Groves are never _more_ agreeable _than_ in the opening of spring."--_Id._ "His Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of our Ideas _of_ the Sublime and _the_ Beautiful, soon made him known to the literati.
