UNDER RULE IV.—OF ELLIPSES.
“This building serves yet for a school and a meeting-house.”
[FORMULE.—Not proper, because the compound word schoolhouse is here divided to avoid a repetition of the last half. But, according to Rule 4th, “When two or more compounds are connected in one sentence, none of them should be split to make an ellipsis of half a word.” Therefore, “school” should be “schoolhouse;” thus, “This building serves yet for a schoolhouse and a meeting-house.”]
