10. Paraphrase freely-yet keeping the leading ideas -the following verses:

Some village Hampden, that, with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his fields withstood,

Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest,

Some Cromwell, guiltless of his country's blood.

Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife,
Their sober wishes never learned to stray;
Along the cool sequestered vale of life

They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.

11. Analyze the following passage:

In attempting to draw the line between conception and imagination, I have already observed, that the province of the former is to present us with an exact transscript of what we have formerly felt and perceived; that of the latter, to make a selection of qualities and of circumstances from a variety of different objects, and by combining and disposing these to form a new creation of its own.

12. Parse the italicised words in the above, and remark on the use of former and of the second that.

The proudest Government that exists upon the face of the earth is that of Great Britain.

OPINIONS.

"On looking through the manuscript (of Mr. Morgan's Key), I found it so carefully and accurately worked out, that I had no hesitation in adopting it in place of the one I had intended to furnish myself."Dr. Morell, in his Preface Commendatory.

"We can add our testimony to the satisfactory manner in which it has been prepared."-Educational Times.

"Our own opinion is, that it fully

satisfies the want that it is intended to supply, and that both teachers and students will find it to be a work of great usefulness."-Civil Service Gazette.

"Dr. Morell's books on English Grammar and Analysis are deservedly popular; and we think their value is much enhanced by the publication of Mr. Morgan's Key, which was certainly much needed.' Monthly Paper of the National Society.

invaluable works."

From the Rev. E. T. Stevens, B.A.
