APPENDIX. WHILE the DIAGRAMS indicate with sufficient precision the author's views as to the true construction of the foregoing sentences, it is deemed advisable to add the following REMARKS on some of the more difficult sentences, for the benefit of younger teachers. The figures on the left refer to the corresponding sentences in the KEY. The letters Gr., with figures annexed, refer to corresponding pages in the GRAMMAR. Figures without the letters Gr. refer to sentences in the KEY. 20. In the analysis of sentences, a word representing a phrase of which it forms a part is to be construed as the whole phrase would be if fully expressed. (Gr., 23, obs. 2.) Hence, in this sentence, "unconfined," as a representative of the phrase, "to an unconfined extent," is an adverb, used to modify "shines." But In the analysis of the phrase of which it forms a part, "unconfined" is an adjunct of extent, understood, and is therefore, as a word, an adjective. 22. "Stream" is a noun, independent case. (Gr., 84.) It is a logical adjunct of "thy," telling who or what is meant by that word. (Gr., 85, obs. 2, 3.) 24. The teacher will find frequent occasion to employ judgment and study in the analysis of sentences which are more or less ambiguous in their structure. This sentence is one of many that may be variously rendered. Thus― 1. Nature, kneeling at her evening prayer with folded hands, seemed [to be] there. 2. Nature, kneeling with folded hands, seemed there at her evening prayer. 3. Nature, with folded hands, seemed [to be] kneeling there at her evening prayer. That rendering should be adopted which gives most clearly the sentiment of the author. On this point different minds will come to different conclusions. The teacher should first determine the exegesis, and let the pupils parse the sentences accordingly. 28. See the last preceding REMARK. (1.) Does the sentence, "Where the skies are ever clear," modify "art journeying?" Then the skies are ever clear here. But that is not true. Then (2.) Does that sentence describe "home?" Does it state a characteristic of the "home" to which "thou art journeying?" That seems to be the true rendering. But it may be objected that "where" is an adverbial conjunction, used to introduce adverbial sentences. (Gr., 163, obs. 2.) So it does, commonly; but it may introduce an adjective sentence when it describes or limits the name of a place. Thus- He is far from the LAND where his forefathers sleep. i. e., He is far from the LAND of his nativity. He is far from his native LAND. Obviously the sentence, the phrase, and the word alike describe LAND. 29. " Through," an adverb by representation. (Gr., 23.) Hence "proudly" is an adjunct of "wave;" "less" is an adjunct of "proudly;" "not" is an adjunct of "less." "That their ancestors molder beneath them," an adjunct of "less." 50. "Equal"-with equal rights. (Gr., 23, obs. 2.) 72. May bloom-where? May bloom wherefore? 78. The entire proposition, "God was in the blast," is negatived by "not." (Gr., 258, rem. 1.) But it has special force on the phrase "in the blast." 83. "Hence" is a conjunction whenever its principal office is to introduce a sentence. 87. The diagram for this sentence is not exactly correct. |The auxiliary verb, "DOES," is common to the two words, 66 RECEIVE" and ENTERTAIN." See diagram for sen tence 31. 89. Voice of eloquence of more [eloquence] than Roman eloquence. "Than Roman eloquence" is a phrase adjunct of "more;" and "more" is an adjunct of "eloquence" understood. 90. Platter standing on the dresser. "On the dresser" is a phrase adjunct of "standing" understood; and "standing on the dresser" is an adjunct of "platter." A participle to which a prepositional phrase is joined in construction is often suppressed. Then the prepositional phrase performs a double office. (1.) That of a representative of the participle, and as such is an adjective; (2.) That of an adverbial adjunct of the participle. 101. Helpless," an adjunct of "me;" placed after, because. (Gr., 250, obs. 3.) 105. "Then," a conjunction. (See 83.) 118. "One [going] by one" is an independent phrase, both in form and in office. It is here a logical adjunct of "go"-indirectly stating the manner. (Gr., 232, note 3.) 119. Puffs them wide of hope-at a wide distance from. This is a nautical idiom. I have so changed the text as to put it into good English. The words of the text may be retained by a paraphrase. Thus: Puffs them so far that the distance of hope from them is wide. 125. "Tell not," declare not to Misery's son that life is fair. (See Gr., 159, obs. 6.) 126. He said, "And do you say this to me?" 128-9. Sentence 128 is auxiliary to 129, the order being transposed: A pampered goose replies, "See man created for mine [my use];" while man exclaims, "See all things created for my use." 131. "Being unconscious" is an adjunct of "chieftain," showing condition. 132. He shouted more--once more-but once more. 133. We... cry, That is droll indeed! 137. I tell thee-I declare to thee. (See 125.) 139. "There" is a word of euphony (Gr., 166, obs. 1), serving only a rhetorical purpose, viz., to throw the predicate before the subject. When words are used solely for euphony, as in this instance, I do not place them in the diagram. 141. that gives to us light and heat. (See 125.) 150. Transposed. That young faithful heart was the noblest thing that perished there. 153. Not one breeze. "Not" modifies-negatives "a." "A" is a numeral adjective, limiting "breeze." 154. This perished heart may lie in the dust, in Death's |
