r more nouns, or nouns and pronouns, signifying the same thing, are
put, by apposition, in the same case; as, "_Paul_, the _apostle;_"
"_Joram_, the _king;_" "_Solomon_, the _son_ of David, _king_ of Israel,
wrote many proverbs."

NOTE. A noun is sometimes put in apposition with a sentence; as,
"The sheriff has just seized and sold his valuable library--_(which
was) a misfortune_ that greatly depressed him."

FALSE SYNTAX.

We ought to love God, he who created and sustains all things.

The pronoun _he_ in this sentence, is improperly used in the nominative
case. It is the object of the action of the transitive verb "love," and
put by apposition with "God;" therefore it should be the objective
case, _him_, according to Rule 7. (Repeat the Rule, and correct the
following.)

I saw Juliet and her brother, they that you visited.

They slew Varus, he that was mentioned before.

It was John, him who preached repentance.

Adams and Jefferson, them who died on the fourth of July 1826, were
both signers and the firm supporters of the Declaration of
Independence.

Augustus the Roman emperor, him who succeeded Julius Cesar, is
variously described by historians.

RULE VIII.

Two or more nouns, or nouns and pronouns, in the _singular_ number,
connected by copulative conjunctions, must have verbs, nouns, and
pronouns, agreeing with them in the _plural_; as, "Socrates _and_ Plato
_were_ wise; _they_ were eminent _philosophers_."

NOTE 1. When _each_ or _every_ relates to two or more nominatives in
the singular, although connected by a copulative, the verb must
agree with each of them in the singular; as, "_Every_ leaf, _and
every_ twig, _and every_ drop of water, _teems_ with life."

2. When the singular nominative of a complex sentence, has another
noun joined to it with a preposition, it is customary to put the
verb and pronoun agreeing with it in the singular; as, "Prosperity
with humility, _renders its_ possessor truly amiable;" "The General,
also, in conjunction with the officers, _has_ applied for redress."

FALSE SYNTAX.

Coffee and sugar grows in the West Indies: it is exported in large
quantities.

Two singular nouns coupled together, form a plural idea. The verb _grow_
is improper, because it expresses the action of both its nominatives,
"coffee and sugar," which two nominatives are connected by the
copulative conj
