Peirce cor. “The bag, with the guineas and dollars in it, was stolen.”—­Cobbett cor. “Sobriety, with great industry and talent, enables a man to perform great deeds.”  Or:  “Sobriety, industry, and talent, enable a man to perform great deeds.”—­Id. “The it, together with the verb, expresses a state of being.”—­Id. “Where Leonidas the Spartan king, and his chosen band, fighting for their country, were cut off to the last man.”—­Kames cor..  “And Leah also, and her children, came near and bowed themselves.”—­Bible cor. “The First and the Second will either of them, by itself, coalesce with the Third, but they do not coalesce with each other.”—­Harris cor. “The whole must centre in the query, whether Tragedy and Comedy are hurtful and dangerous representations.”—­Formey cor.Both grief and joy are infectious:  the emotions which they raise in the spectator, resemble them perfectly.”—­Kames cor. “But, in all other words, the q and u are both sounded.”—­Ensell cor.Q and u (which are always together) have the sound of kw, as in queen; or of k only, as in opaque.”  Or, better:  “Q has always the sound of k; and the u which follows it, that of w; except in French words, in which the u is silent.”—­Goodenow cor. “In this selection, the a and i form distinct syllables.”—­Walker cor. “And a considerable village, with gardens, fields, &c., extends around on each side of the square.”—­Lib. cor. “Affection and interest guide our notions and behaviour in the affairs of life; imagination and passion affect the sentiments that we entertain in matters of taste.”—­Jamieson cor. “She heard none of those intimations of her defects, which envy, petulance, and anger, produce among children.”—­Johnson cor. “The King, Lords, and Commons, constitute an excellent form of government.”—­Crombie et al. cor. “If we say, ‘I am the man who commands you,’ the relative clause, with the antecedent man, forms the predicate.”—­Crombie cor.
