, and to wait _on_ him."--_Priestley cor._ "The great difficulty they found in fixing just sentiments."--_Id. and Hume cor._ "Developing the _differences of_ the three."--_James Brown cor._ "When the singular ends in x, ch soft, sh, ss, or s, we add _es to form_ the plural."--_L. Murray cor._ "We shall present him a list or specimen of them." "It is very common to hear of the evils of pernicious reading, how it enervates the mind, or how it depraves the principles."--_Dymond cor._ "In this example, the verb _arises_ is understood before 'curiosity' and _before_ 'knowledge.'"--_L. Murray et al. cor._ "The connective is frequently omitted, _when_ several words _have the same construction_."--_Wilcox cor._ "He shall expel them from before you, and drive them _out from_ your sight."--_Bible cor._ "Who makes his sun _to_ shine and his rain to descend, upon the just and the unjust." Or thus: "Who makes his sun shine, and his rain descend, upon the just and the unjust."--_M'Ilvaine cor._ LESSON X.--MIXED EXAMPLES. "This sentence violates _an established rule_ of grammar."--_L. Murray cor._ "The words _thou_ and _shall_ are again reduced to _syllables of_ short _quantity_."--_Id._ "Have the _greatest_ men always been the most popular? By no means."--_Lieber cor._ "St. Paul positively stated, that 'He _that loveth an other, hath_ fulfilled the law.'"--_Rom._, xiii, 8. "More _organs_ than one _are_ concerned in the utterance of almost every consonant."--_M'Culloch cor._ "If the reader will pardon _me for_ descending so low."--_Campbell cor._ "To adjust them in _such a manner_ as shall consist equally with the perspicuity and the grace of the period." Or: "To adjust them so, _that they_ shall consist equally," &c.--_Dr. Blair and L. Mur. cor._ "This class exhibits a lamentable inefficiency, and _a great_ want of simplicity."--_Gardiner cor._ "Whose style, _in all its course_, flows like a limpid stream, _through which_ we see to the very bottom."--_Dr. Blair cor._; also _L. Murray_. "We _admit various ellipses_." Or thus: "An _ellipsis_, or _omission_, of some words, is frequently admitted."--_Lennie's Gram._, p. 116. "The ellipsis, of _articles may occur_ thus."--_L. Murray cor._ "Sometimes the _article a_ is improperly applied to nouns of different numbers; as, 'A magnificent house and gardens.'"--_Id._ "In some very emphatical expressions, _no_ ellipsis should be _allowed_."--_Id._ "_Ellipses_ of the adjective _may happen_
