After this, he directed their thoughts towards all the physical existences submitted to their view through the immensity of space, or on the globe which we inhabit; and the regularity of the march of the sun and all the celestial bodies; the constant...
Page 179 - By the same method of proceeding from the known to the unknown, he has subsequently brought to the perception of his pupils, the characters, use and influence of all the other words, which, as parts of speech, unite, modify and determine the sense of the noun, the verb, and the adjective.
