CHAPTER VIII.—­ADVERBS.

The syntax of an Adverb consists in its simple relation to a verb, a participle, an adjective, or whatever else it qualifies; just as the syntax of an English Adjective, (except in a few instances,) consists in its simple relation to a noun or a pronoun.

RULE XXI.—­ADVERBS.

Adverbs relate to verbs, participles, adjectives, or other adverbs:  as, “Any passion that habitually discomposes our temper, or unfits us for properly discharging the duties of life, has most certainly gained a very dangerous ascendency.”—­Blair.

   “How bless’d this happy hour, should he appear,
    Dear to us all, to me supremely dear!”—­Pope’s Homer.
