A Pronoun, whose Noun is expressed, would be signified by writing the figures expressing the two; thus, 71, a pronoun, used in the place of a subject; or 73, a pronoun personating a first object, etc.; 7p, a pronoun personating a phrase; 7c, a pronoun personating a clause. Thus;

3. The son's greatest care was exercised for the health and for the happiness" of his parents®.

Son's denotes that son's, rhetorically, is an adjunct; and hence. grammatically (with the apostrophe), is an adjunct Noun. Care1 denotes that care, rhetorically, is a subject; and hence, grammatically, is a subject Noun; etc.

5. Nathan' said unto David", "Thou" art' the man1.'

General Analysis. Logically, Nathan said, etc., is a complex compound thought, whose immediate elements are the simple thought, Nathan said unto David, and thou art the man.

The first immediate element, Nathan said unto David, is a single thought of three parts, of which the first part is Nathan, the actor or first primary idea. The second part is said, the action or second primary idea; unto, the idea of relation between the idea, David, and the action, said; and David, an idea subordinate to the action, said. Its third part is the simple thought, thou art the man, used as the receiver of the action, said.

The second immediate element, thou art the man, is a simple thought of two parts; of which, thou, man, is the actor, exister, or first primary idea; art is the action, existence, or second primary idea; the, an idea subordinate to the actor, man..

Rhetorical Analysis. Nathan said, etc., is a complex compound sentence; hence, it expresses a complex compound thought. Its immediate elements are the two clauses, Nathan said unto David; thou art the man.

Its first clause, Nathan said unto David, is a simple independent clause, actively constructed; of which, Nathan, is the subject; said, the predicate or affirmer of the subject, Nathan; unto, a relator, showing the relation of the second object, David, to the predicate, said; David, second object of predicate, said, related by unto.

Thou art the man, is a first object clause, joined to the first clause by its form, which is not expressed; because, the clause is quoted.

Its second clause, thou art the man, is a simple dependent first object clause, actively constructed; in which, thou personates the subject, man; art is the predicate or affirmer of the subject, man; the, an adjunct of the subject, man; man, the subject of a dependent first object clause, which is quoted.

Grammatical Analyses or Parsing of the Nouns. Nathan is a subject proper word Noun; masculine, third, singular, nominative. PRINCIPLE. The subject noun, Nathan, has the nominative case, to show that its clause is not to be taken with another unless joined by a connector, or by a relative adjunct; hence, we have, as a part of Rule VIII., "a subject noun of an independent clause must have the Nominative case.'

It is declined; Singular, Nom., NATHAN (Here!); Obj. and Voc., NATHAN; Poss., NATHAN'S; or, OF NATHAN. Plural, Nom., Obj., and Voc., NATHANS; Poss., NATHANS'; or, oF NATHANS.

NOTE. Proper names are seldom used in the plural; hence, in declining a proper Noun, its plnral form may be omitted. The assertion, "Proper nouns want the Plural," cannot be sustained.

person, -number,

David is a second object proper word noun, or a second object noun; gender, case. PRINCIPLE. David has the objective case; because, it is an English second object Noun. Hence, RULE XI., "An object noun (in the English language) must have the Objective Case."

It is declined; Singular, Nom., DAVID; Obj., DAVID (Here!); etc. Thou art the man is a first object common clause Noun, or a first object clause Noun; person, - number, PRINCIPLE. It has the nominative case; because, etc.

case.

Man is a subject common word Noun, or a subject Noun; masc., third, sing., nominative. PRINCIPLE. Man has the nominative, instead of the objective case; because, it is the subject Noun in a first object clause, which is quoted; RULE XV.

6. "Thou' is a simple personator1."

7. Ladies, in the sentence, "The ladies are here," is a subject common word noun.

90. First, the DEFINITIONS.

The word, pronoun,1 means for, or instead of a noun.

A PRONOUN is a word,

which, in a sentence, has the use or office of a personator.

NOTE I. That, which is called the Antecedent of the Personator, in Grammar is called the Antecedent of the Pronoun or "the Noun for which the Pronoun stands."

EXAMPLES.

1. Squire Blade, said Furgus, may I call your attention to my story? You see, Squire, this man has done me a great wrong; because, he has taken away his team which I had for their keeping, and has given the care of them to another

man.

Grammatical Analysis. I is a pronoun; because, in this sentence, it has the use or office of a personator. It personates the subject, Furgus.

NOTE II. Under Personators, we have shown that the Personator is artificial in its origin, and is to be used either for convenience, or for euphony, or for both; and, that, when neither of these is to be gained, the Personator should not be used. What was said of the Personator is, of course, true of the Pronoun.

2. It is good and comely for one to to enjoy the good of all his labor. one to drink and for one to enjoy the good of all his labor is good, and for one to eat and for one to drink, etc., is comely.

Parsing. It is a pronoun; because, in this sentence, it has the use or office of a personator, and personates the compound contracted clause, for one to eat and for one to drink, etc.
