between the participial and the substantive use of verbals in ing? 31.  What does Brown say of this doctrine? 32.  If when a participle becomes an adjective it drops its regimen, should it not also drop it on becoming a noun? 33.  Where the sense admits of a choice of construction in respect to the participle, is not attention due to the analogy of general grammar? 34.  Does it appear that nouns before participles are less frequently subjected to their government than pronouns? 35.  Why must a grammarian discriminate between idioms, or peculiarities, and the common mode of expression? 36.  Is the Latin gerund, like the verbal in ing, sometimes active, sometimes passive; and when the former governs the genitive, do we imitate the idiom in English? 37.  Is it agreed among grammarians, that the Latin gerund may govern the genitive of the agent? 38.  What distinction between the participial and the substantive use of verbals in ing do Crombie and others propose to make? 39.  How does this accord with the views of Murray, Lowth, Adam, and Brown?. 40.  How does Hiley treat the English participle? 41.  What further is remarked concerning false teaching in relation to participles?

LESSON XXIX.—­ADVERBS.

1.  What is replied to Dr. Adam’s suggestion, “Adverbs sometimes qualify substantives?” 2.  Do not adverbs sometimes relate to participial nouns? 3.  If an adverbial word relates directly to a noun or pronoun, does not that fact constitute it an adjective? 4.  Are such expressions as, “the then ministry,” “the above discourse,” good English, or bad—­well authorized, or not? 5.  When words commonly used as adverbs assume the construction of nouns, how are they to be parsed? 6.  Must not the parser be careful to distinguish adverbs used substantively or adjectively, from such as may be better resolved by the supposing of an ellipsis? 7.  How is an adverb to be parsed, when it seems to be put for a verb? 8.  How are adverbs to be parsed in such expressions as, “Away with him?” 9.  What is observed of the relation of conjunctive adverbs, and of the misuse of when? 10.  What is said in regard to the placing of adverbs? 11.  What suggestions are made concerning the word no? 12.  What is remarked of two or more negatives in the same sentence? 13.  Is that a correct rule which says, “Two negatives, in English, destroy each other, or are equivalent to an affirmative?” 14.  What is the dispute among grammarians concerning the adoption of or or nor after not or no? 15.  What fault is found with the opinion of Priestley, Murray, Ingersoll, and Smith, that “either of them may be used with nearly equal propriety?” 16.  How does John Burn propose to settle this dispute? 17.  How does Churchill treat the matter? 18.  What does he say of the manner in which “the use of nor after not has been introduced?” 19.  What other common modes of expression are
