He is in apposition with man. "When a declinable pronoun is placed in apposition with a noun, it takes the form it would take if used in the place of the noun." Therefore, since man is essential element of a phrase, the sentence should be, "I live with the old man, him who sells vegetables."

161. PRINCIPLE VIII.-When a declinable pronoun is used independently, it takes the subjective form. EXAMPLES.-1. Miserable they!-Thomson. 2. O rare we.-Cowper-Brown's Grammar. 3. "Ah, luckless he."

162. To this rule there are exceptions, especially in the use of the first person; as, "Ah me!"

LESSON XXVI.

Parse the nouns and pure personal pronouns in the following lesson.

5.

163. Order of parsing personal pronouns: 1. Class. 2. Decline it. 3. Gender, person, and number. Form. 6. Office. 7. Principle.

(a.)-They is a personal pronoun; subjective, he; possessive, his; objective him. Plural: subjective,

they; possessive, their; objective, them. Masculine gender, third person, singular number, subjective form, and subject of a sentence. "When the subject of a sentence is a declinable pronoun, it takes the subjective form."

(b.) Me is a personal pronoun; subjective, I; possessive, my; objective, me. Plural: subjective, we;

possessive, our; objective, us. number, objective form, and

Third person, singular

object of a sentence.

"When the object of a sentence," etc.

(c.)—Him is a personal pronoun; subjective, he; possessive, his; objective, him. Plural (sce he above). Masculine gender, third person, singular number, objective form, and essential element of a phrase. "When the essential element of a phrase," etc.

"Is it you ?"

(d.)—You is a personal pronoun (decline it), second person, singular number, subjective form, and complement of a neuter verb. "When the complement of a neuter verb," etc.

164. Although you is not strictly a declinable pronoun, perhaps less confusion will arise by parsing it as though it were, than by making it an exception among the other personal pronouns.

"He orders us to retreat."

(a.)—Us is a personal pronoun; subjective, I; possessive, my; objective, me. Plural: subjective, we;

possessive, our; objective, us. First person, plural number, objective form, and subject of an infinitive. "When the subject of an infinitive is a declinable pronoun, it takes the objective form."

1. "They chained us each to a column1 stone, And we were three-yet each alone;

We could not move a single pace,'

2

We could not see each other's face."-Byron.

2. "And now he feels the bottom;

Now on dry earth he stands;

3

Now round him 3 throng the fathers, "

And press his gory hands

And now with shouts and clapping,

And noise of weeping loud,

He enters through the River-gate,

5

Borne by the joyous crowd."-Macaulay.

3. "Then out spake Spurius Lartius,

6

A Ramnian proud was he, "

6

'Lo, I will stand on thy right hand
And keep the bridge with thee."-Id.

4. "It was he who saved my life."-Hugo.

5. "By many names men call us ;

In many lands we dwell."-Macaulay.

6. "Thence let them ride in purple."-Id.

7. "Forth with cheerful words of welcome,

Came the father of Osseo,

He with radiant locks of silver,

He with eyes serene and tender.”—Longfellow.

8. "O thou that rollest above, round as the shield of my fathers!"-Ossian.

River-gate,

Column, a noun adnominal by specification. (See 126.) sential element of a phrase without a connective. (See 110.) him is a phrase. Clapping, participial noun. (See 62.) two words written together in this way should be parsed as one. The subject of a verb is often placed after it. "Them is the subject of the infinitive ride. (See 113.) After let and several other verbs to is omitted before the infinitive. In parsing ride, refer to 98 (a.).

LESSON XXVII.

INTENSIVE PERSONAL PRONOUNS.-DOUBLE PERSONAL PRONOUNS.ERRORS IN THEIR USE.

165. Personal Pronouns of the second class are called Intensive Personal Pronouns.

166. Intensive Personal Pronouns are employed when strong emphasis is required. They are myself, thyself, yourself, himself, herself, and itself, and their plurals, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves.

167. Intensive pronouns are formed by annexing self or selves to the

possessive form of the personal pronouns in the first and second person, and to their objective form in the third."— Welch's Analysis.

167. When myself, himself, yourself, etc., are used in sentences like the following, they are more properly reciprocal pronouns. "I hurt myself." "He loves himself supremely." It is, however, thought best to classify them all together, for fear of confusing the pupil with too many names.

169. They are called personal pronouns because they show their person by their form. They are called intensive because they usually add emphasis or intensity to the noun with which they stand.

170. Intensive personal pronouns retain the same form, whatever be their office; they are, therefore, indeclinable. They are commonly, but not always adnominal words.

EXAMPLES OF THEIR USE.—1. I myself did it. 2. "Myself shall defend him." 3. You yourselves are the tyrants. 4. You yourself are my enemy. 5. He himself is with us. 6. Himself took our infirmities.—Matthew, viii. 17. 7. "He did not assassinate Javert, since Javert himself killed Javert."—Hugo. 8. "Myself have calmed their spleenful mutiny.”—Shakespeare. 171. The following examples will show the common use of these words. Some one says, "Who was present ?" I may answer, "I was present;" but if great emphasis were required, I might say, "I myself was
