"A work on english grammar and composition"

--All _Exclamatory Expressions_ must be followed
by the exclamation point.+
+Remark+.--Sometimes an interjection alone and sometimes an interjection
and the words following it form the exclamatory expression; as, _Oh! it
hurts. Oh, the beautiful snow!_
_O_ is used in direct address; as, _O father, listen to me. Oh_ is used as
a cry of pain, surprise, delight, fear, or appeal. This distinction,
however desirable, is not strictly observed, _O_ being frequently used in
place of _Oh_.
+CAPITAL LETTERS--RULE.--The words _I_ and _O_ should be written in capital
letters.+
+Direction.+--_Correct these violations of the two rules given above:_--
1. o noble judge o excellent young man.
2. Out of the depths have i cried unto thee.
3. Hurrah the field is won.
4. Pshaw how foolish.
5. Oh oh oh i shall be killed.
6. o life how uncertain o death how inevitable.
