REMARK 1.— Words combined into a Sentence, have a relation to each other—a relation which often determines their forms. The principal Modifications of words, as treated in Part II. of this work, are those of form—and these forms vary according to their relation to other words. Thus, in speaking of Frederick, I may say,

“ he assisted James.” Here “he” stands for the name of Frederick; and that forin of the Pronoun is used to denote that Frederick was the agent of the action-the Subject of the Verb. But if I say “him James assisted,” I make quite a different assertion, not because I speak of different persons or of a different act, but because I use a different modification of the word “he.”

But the form does not always determine the office of words in a Sentence. I may say, “Frederick assisted James,”

and “ James assisted Frederick." Here, although I use the same words and the same form of those words, I make two widely different assertions. The difference in the assertions in these examples is caused by the change of position of the Words Hence, the laws of AGREEMENT and ARRANGEMENT of words in the construction of Sentences.

Rem. 2.—As Diagrams are of great service in constructing Sentences, by serving as tests of the grammatical correctness of a composition, they are inserted in Part III. It is hoped that the Teacher will not fail to require the Class to write Sentences which shall contain words in every possible coudition, and in every variety of modification. Young Pepila should be required to place the Sentences in Diagrams.
