LESSON 128.
CONSTRUCTION OF COMPARATIVES AND SUPERLATIVES.
+Caution+.--In stating a comparison avoid comparing a thing with itself.
[Footnote: A thing may, of course, be compared with itself as existing
under different conditions; as, The _star_ is _brighter to-night_; The
_grass_ is _greener to-day_.]
