It is called "Persecuting Bishops." "Is Bishops in that title a nominative or an accusative?" grimly inquired a living prelate, when the present writer was extolling the essay so named. It is a nominative; and perhaps the exacter title would have been "A Persecuting Bishop." Herbert Marsh was Second Wrangler in 1779, Fellow of St.
Words are compounded until they reach a great and almost unpronounceable length.* Naturally the coming of the trader has introduced many new words, as tobaccomik, teamik, etc., "mik" being the accusative ending. The Eskimo in his language cannot count beyond ten. If he wishes to express twelve, for instance, he will say, "as many fingers as a man has and two more."
Her eye left the soap, traveled at a more sprightly speed back to Leff, lit on his face with a questioning intelligence. David called again. "Hurry up. I want to light the fire." Leff took another considered stitch. "I don't know where it is," he answered without looking up. The questioning of Susan's glance became accusative. "It's there beside you on the meal sack," she said. "Throw it to him."
The Romans would never have found time to conquer the world if they had first had to learn Latin. Luckily for them, they already knew in their cradles what nouns have their accusative in im.
MALE COGITANTI: 'which has now for a long time been plotting mischief'; A. 290, a; G. 671, 221; H. 549, 4; 467, III. 2. Cf. pro Sulla 70 nefarie cogitare; for the use of the adverb see n. on 16 sic. On Cato's attitude toward Carthage see Introd. VERERI: the construction is unusual. Vereor regularly takes after it an accusative, or else a clause with ne or ut. A passage much resembling this is Rab.
He found Portia alone, for which he was glad; but her greeting was distinctly accusative. "If I should pretend to be deeply offended and tell Thomas to show you the door, what could you say for yourself?" she began, before he could say a word in exculpation.
"The accursed sect of the Quakers," what a fine spirit such an accusative case gives to the dry formula of a legal enactment! the beat of the drum by which the edict was proclaimed in the streets of Boston seems only an appropriate accompaniment to so stirring a denunciation.
The distinction between the nominative and accusative was nibbled away by phonetic processes and morphological levelings until only certain pronouns retained distinctive subjective and objective forms. At present it is more seriously undermined than most of us realize. The possessive has little vitality except in the pronoun and in animate nouns.
CONVERSATION in the feminine language consists of language rapidly vibrating or oscillating between two persons. The object of any conversation is always accusative, e.g., "Mrs. Edwards has no taste in hats." Most conversations consist of an indeterminate number of sentences, but sometimes it is difficult to tell where one sentence ends and the next begins.
'young friends such as Scipio and Laelius are to me'. PRAECIPERE: here absolute, = praecepta dare; usually an accusative follows. STUDIIS IUVENTUTIS: 'the zeal of youth'. Studiis does not imply here the deference of youth to age; the studia meant are the virtutum studia of 26. OFFICI MUNUS: 'performance of duty'; cf. 35, 72; Fam. 6, 14.
