This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1869 Excerpt: ...noun, or with a pronoun, agrees with it in case; as, --Urbs Edinburgum, The city of Edinburgh. Athenarum, Graecae urbis, Of Athens, a Greek city. Vobis, tribunis plebis, For you, the tribunes of the Com-mons. 7. A predicative noun or adjective, with substantive verbs and passive verbs of calling, agrees with the subject in case; as, --Scio te esse discipulum, I know that you are a pupil. Ciceronis interest (Ciceronem) esseprudentem, It is Cicero's interest to be prudent. Tu vocdris Joannes, You are called John. Note.--Such verbs aie sum, fio, evado (become), appellor, creor, &c II.--Government of Nouns. 1. One noun governs another signifying " the possessor," or "the object," in the genitive; as, --Liber pueri, The book belonging to the boy, or, The boy's book. Amor patris, A father's love, or, Love for a father. Note 1.--Patris, when translated in the former way, is called a subjective genitive, because the love belongs to or resides in the father--i.e., the father is the sub-ject of the love; when translated in the latter way, patris is called an objective genitive, because the love is felt for the father--i.e., the father is the object of the love. The nouns that are accompanied by both these genitives are principally those derived from verbs; as amor, invidia, desiderium, metus, &c. Note 2.--Amor mei, tui, sui, nostri, vestri, can only mean, Love for me, for you, &c. Amor meus, tuus, &c., usually means, The love that I, you, &c., have (for another). Note 3.--The possessives, meus, tuus, suus, noster, vester, are always used instead of the genitive of the personal pronouns, to express possession; as, Liber meus, My book--never Liber mei. 2. One noun governs another noun accompanied by an adjective, together expressing ...
