PROMISCUOUS EXAMPLES IN CORRECT SYNTAX FOR ANALYSIS.

$550. The LEARNER is expected to ANALYZE all or a part of the following examples, and particularly to give the rules for the words in Italics:

1. "His power and the number of his adherents declining daily, he consented to a partition of the kingdom."-North American Review.

2. "The fire-places were of a truly patriarchal magnitude, where the whole family, old and young, master and servant, black and white, nay, even the very cat and dog, enjoyed a community of privilege, and had each a prescriptive right to a corner."-W. IRVING.

3. "On, then, all Frenchmen that have hearts in their bodies!"-CARLISLE.

4. "The Bastile is still to take to be taken."

5. "Oh! that I could but baptize every heart with the sym

pathetic feeling of what the city-pent child is condemned to lose; how blank, and poor, and joyless must be the images which fill its infant bosom to that of the country one, whose mind

"Will be a mansion for all lovely forms,

His memory be a dwelling-place

For all sweet sounds and harmonies."-W. HOWITT.

To that is an idiomatic expression occasionally met with, but it should not be encouraged. By filling out the ellipsis we get the more correct expression.

6. "All morning since nine there has been a cry, To the Bastile!"-CARLISLE. How do you parse to the Bastile?

7.

"Bethink thee, William, of thy fault,

Thy pledge and broken oath;

And give me back my maiden vow,

And give me back my

troth."-MALLET.

8. "With a callous heart there can be no genius in the imagination or wisdom in the mind; and therefore the prayer, with equal truth and sublimity, says, 'Incline your hearts unto wisdom.' Resolute thoughts find words for themselves, and make their own vehicle. Impression and expression are relative ideas. He who feels deeply will express strongly. The language of slight sensations is naturally feeble and superficial." -Sir PHILIP FRANCIS. No and or are substituted for neither and nor.

9. "I must not close my letter without giving you one principal event of my history, which was, that (in the course of my late tour) I set out one morning before five o'clock, the moon shining through a dark and misty autumnal air, and got to the sea-coast time enough to be at the sun's levee. I saw the clouds and dark vapors open gradually to the right and left, rolling over one another in great smoky wreaths, and the tide (as it flowed gently in upon the sands), first whitening, then slightly tinged with gold and blue; and all at once a little line of insufferable brightness, that (before I can write these five words) was grown to half an orb, and now to a whole one too glorious to be distinctly seen. It is very odd it makes no figure on paper; yet I shall remember it as long as the sun, or, at least, as long as I shall endure. I wonder whether any body ever saw it before? I hardly believe it."—GRAY.

10. “To the Right Honorable the Earl of Chesterfield: "MY LORD, I have been lately informed by the proprietor of the World that two papers, in which my Dictionary is recommended to the public, were written by your lordship. To be so distinguished is an honor which, being very little accustomed to favors from the great, I know not well how to receive, or in what terms to acknowledge.

"When upon some slight encouragement I first visited your lordship, I was overpowered, like the rest of mankind, by the enchantment of your address, and could not forbear to wish that I might boast myself le vainqueur du vainqueur de la terre; that I might obtain that regard for which I saw the world contending. But I found my attendance so little encouraged, that neither pride nor modesty would suffer me to continue it. When I had once addressed your lordship in public, I had exhausted all the art of pleasing which a retired and uncourtly scholar can possess. I had done all that I could; and no man is well pleased to have his all neglected, be it ever so little.

"Seven years, my lord, have now passed since I waited in your outward room, or was repulsed from your door; during which time I have been pushing on my work through difficulties of which it is useless to complain, and have brought it at last to the verge of publication without one word of encouragement or one smile of favor. Such treatment I did not expect, for I never had a patron before.

"The shepherd in Virgil grew acquainted with Love, and found him a native of the rocks.

"Is not a patron, my lord, one who can look with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and then encumbers him with help? The notice which you have been pleased t take of my labors, had it been early, had been kind; but it has been delayed till I am indifferent, and can not enjoy it; till I am solitary, and can not impart it; till I am known, and do not want it. I hope it is no very cynical asperity not to confess obligations where no benefit has been received, or to be unwilling that the public should consider me as owing that to a patron which Providence has enabled me to do for myself
