"A work on english grammar and composition"

Supply _that_ after _thing_ and tell what
clause is here used like an adjective. Find the office of _that_ by placing
it after _do_. Find in 4 an infinitive phrase used as attribute complement.
Change the phrase in 1, paragraph 2, to a clause. Find in 2 the omitted
predicate of the clause introduced by _than_. Find a compound subject in 3.
Are _negligence_, _falsehood_, and _mendacity_, in 5, used as subjects?
Explain their use and punctuation. (See Remark, Lesson 45.)
In 3, paragraph 3, how are the words borrowed from Paul marked? Change the
quotation from Paul so as to give his thought but not his exact words. Are
the quotation marks now needed? In 3 and 4 find clauses introduced by
_that_, _which_, and _who_, and used like adjectives.
+The Grouping of Sentences into Paragraphs+.--You can easily learn the
sub-topic, or thought, each of these paragraphs develops. See whether you
can find it in the first sentence of each. Give the three sub-topics. Put
together the three thoughts established in these paragraphs and tell what
they prove. What they prove is that for which Mr. Beecher is contending; it
may be written at the head of the extract as the general topic. What merits
of the paragraph, already treated, are admirably illustrated in this
extract?
+The Style of the Author+.
