“It is the boast of Americans, without distinction of parties, that their government is the most free and perfect that exists on the earth.”—­Dr. Allen cor. “Children that are dutiful to their parents, enjoy great prosperity.”—­Sanborn cor. “The scholar that improves his time, sets an example worthy of imitation.”—­Id. “Nouns and pronouns that signify the same person, place, or thing, agree in case.”—­Cooper cor. “An interrogative sentence is one that asks a question.”—­Id. “In the use of words and phrases that in point of time relate to each other, the order of time should be duly regarded.”—­Id. “The same observations that show the effect of the article upon the participle, appear to be applicable [also] to the pronoun and participle.”—­Murray cor. “The reason why they have not the same use of them in reading, may be traced to the very defective and erroneous method in which the art of reading is taught.”—­Id.Ever since reason began to exert her powers, thought, during our waking hours, has been active in every breast, without a moment’s suspension or pause.”—­Id. et al. cor. “In speaking of such as greatly delight in the same.”—­Pope cor. “Except him to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live.”—­Bible cor. “But the same day on which Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.”—­Bible cor. “In the next place, I will explain several constructions of nouns and pronouns, that have not yet come under our notice.”—­Kirkham cor. “Three natural distinctions of time are all that can exist.”—­Hall cor. “We have exhibited such only as are obviously distinct; and these seem to be sufficient, and not more than sufficient.”—­Murray et al. cor.The parenthesis encloses a phrase or clause that may be omitted without materially injuring the connexion of the other members.”—­Hall cor. “Consonants are letters that cannot be sounded without the aid of a vowel.”—­Bucke cor. “Words are not mere sounds, but sounds that convey a meaning to the mind.”—­Id. “Nature’s postures are always easy; and, what is more, nothing but your own will can put you out of them.”—­Collier cor. “Therefore ought we to examine our own selves, and prove our own selves.”—­Barclay cor. “Certainly, it had been much more natural, to have divided Active verbs into Immanent, or those whose action is terminated within itself, and Transient, or those whose action is terminated in something without itself.”—­R.  Johnson cor. “This is such an advantage as no other lexicon will afford.”—­Dr. Taylor cor. “For these reasons, such liberties are taken in the Hebrew tongue, with those words which are of the most general and frequent use.”—­Pike cor.While we object to the laws which the antiquarian in language would impose on us, we must also enter our protest against those authors who are too fond of innovations.”—­L.  Murray cor.
