“A man will be forgiven, even for great errors, committed in a foreign language; but, in the use he makes of his own, even the least slips are justly pointed out and ridiculed.”—­Amer.  Chesterfield cor. “LET expresses not only permission, but entreaty, exhortation, and command.”—­Lowth cor.; also Murray, et al. “That death which is our leaving of this world, is nothing else than the putting-off of these bodies.”—­Sherlock cor. “They differ from the saints recorded in either the Old or the New Testament.”—­Newton cor. “The nature of relation, therefore, consists in the referring or comparing of two things to each other; from which comparison, one or both come to be denominated.”—­Locke cor. “It is not credible, that there is any one who will say, that through the whole course of his life he has kept himself entirely undefiled, without the least spot or stain of sin.”—­Witsius cor. “If to act conformably to the will of our Creator,—­if to promote the welfare of mankind around us,—­if to secure our own happiness, is an object of the highest moment; then are we loudly called upon to cultivate and extend the great interests of religion and virtue.”  Or:  “If, to act conformably to the will of our Creator, to promote the welfare of mankind around us, and to secure our own happiness, are objects of the highest moment; then,” &c.—­Murray et al. cor. “The verb being in the plural number, it is supposed, that the officer and his guard are joint agents.  But this is not the case:  the only nominative to the verb is ‘officer.’  In the expression, ‘with his guard,’ the noun ‘guard’ is in the objective case, being governed by the preposition with; and consequently it cannot form the nominative, or any part of it.  The prominent subject for the agreement, the true nominative to the verb, or the term to which the verb peculiarly refers, is the word ’officer.’”—­L.  Murray cor. “This is an other use, that, in my opinion, contributes to make a man learned rather than wise; and is incapable of pleasing either the understanding or the imagination.”—­Addison cor. “The work is a dull performance; and is incapable of pleasing either the understanding or the imagination.”—­L.  Murray cor. “I would recommend the ’Elements of English Grammar,’ by Mr. Frost. The plan of this little work is similar to that of Mr. L. Murray’s smallest Grammar; but, in order to meet the understanding of children, its definitions and language are simplified, so far as the nature of the subject will admit.  It also embraces more examples for Parsing, than are usual in elementary treatises.”—­S.
