of Sentiments."--_Lib. cor._ "The prolonging of men's lives when the world needed to be peopled, and _the subsequent_ shortening _of_ them when that necessity _had_ ceased."--_Rev. John Brown cor._ "Before the performance commences, we _see_ displayed the insipid formalities of the prelusive scene."--_Kirkham cor._ "It forbade the lending of money, or _the_ sending _of_ goods, or _the_ embarking _of_ capital in anyway, in transactions connected with that foreign traffic."--_Brougham cor._ "Even abstract ideas have sometimes the same important _prerogative conferred_ upon them."--_Jamieson cor._ "_Ment_, like other terminations, changes _y_ into _i_, when _the y is preceded_ by a consonant."--_Kirkham's Gram._, p. 25. "The term PROPER is from the French _propre_, own, or the Latin _proprius_; and _a Proper noun_ is _so called, because it_ is peculiar to the individual _or family_ bearing the name. The term COMMON is from the Latin _communis_, pertaining equally to several or many; and _a Common noun_ is _so called, because it is common_ to every individual comprised in the class."--_Fowler cor._ "Thus oft by mariners are _showed_ (Unless the men of Kent are liars) Earl Godwin's castles _overflowed_, And palace-roofs, and steeple- spires."--_Swift cor._ LESSON VII.--ADVERBS. "He spoke to every man and woman _who was there_."--_L. Murray cor._ "Thought and language act and react upon each other."--_Murray's Key_, p. 264.

Murray cor._ "Which appear to be constructed according to _no_ certain rule."--_Dr. Blair cor._ "The vehement manner of speaking became _less_ universal."--Or better:--"_less general_."--_Id._ "_Not_ all languages, however, agree in this mode of expression." Or: "This mode of expression, however, _is not common to all_ languages."--_Id._ "The great occasion of setting _apart_ this particular day."--_Atterbury cor._ "He is much more promising now, than _he was_ formerly."--_L.
