“I, who at some times spend, at others spare,
    Divided between carelesness and care.”—­Pope.

UNDER RULE VII.—­OF RETAINING.

“Shall, on the contrary, in the first person, simply foretels.”—­Murray’s Gram., p. 88; Ingersoll’s, 136; Fisk’s, 78; Jaudon’s, 59; A.  Flint’s, 42; Wright’s, 90; Bullions’s, 32.

[FORMULE.—­Not proper, because the word “foretels” does not here retain the double l of tell.  But, according to Rule 7th, “Words ending with any double letter, preserve it double in all derivatives formed from them by means of prefixes.”  Therefore, the other l should be inserted; thus, foretells.]

“There are a few compound irregular verbs, as befal, bespeak, &c.”—­Ash’s Gram., p. 46.  “That we might frequently recal it to our memory.”—­Calvin’s Institutes, p. 112.  “The angels exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befal us.”—­Ib., p. 107.  “Inthral; to enslave, to shackle, to reduce to servitude.”—­Walker’s Dict. “He makes resolutions, and fulfils them by new ones.”—­Red Book, p. 138.  “To enrol my humble name upon the list of authors on Elocution.”—­Kirkham’s Elocution, p. 12.  “Forestal; to anticipate, to take up beforehand.”—­Walker’s Rhym.  Dict. “Miscal; to call wrong, to name improperly.”—­Johnson.  “Bethral; to enslave, to reduce to bondage.”—­See id. “Befal; to happen to, to come to pass.”—­Rhym.  Dict. “Unrol; to open what is rolled or convolved.”—­Johnson.  “Counterrol; to keep copies of accounts to prevent frauds.”—­See id. “As Sisyphus uprols a rock, which constantly overpowers him at the summit.”—­Author.  “Unwel; not well, indisposed, not in good health.”—­See Red Book, p. 336.  “Undersel; to defeat by selling for less, to sell cheaper than an other.”—­See id., p. 332.  “Inwal; to enclose or fortify with a wall.”—­See id., p. 295.  “Twibil; an instrument with two bills, or with a point and a blade; a pickaxe, a mattock, a halberd, a battle-axe.”—­See Dict. “What you miscal their folly, is their care.”—­Dryden.  “My heart will sigh when I miscal it so.”—­Shakspeare.  “But if the arrangement recal one set of ideas more readily than another.”—­Blair’s Rhet., p. 130.

   “’Tis done; and since ’tis done, ’tis past recal;
    And since ’tis past recal, must be forgotten.”—­Dryden.

UNDER RULE VIII.—­OF FINAL LL.

“The righteous is taken away from the evill to come.”—­Perkins’s Works, p. 417.

[FORMULE.—­Not proper, because the word “evill” is here written with final ll.  But, according to Rule 8th, “Final ll is peculiar to monosyllables and their compounds, with the few derivatives formed from such roots by prefixes; consequently, all other words that end in l, must be terminated with a single l.”  Therefore, one l should be here omitted; thus, evil.]
