Excerpt from book: quests of the kings of Egypt and Babylon. Not one of our greatest explorers has unearthed with his spade or pickaxe more splendid palaces and temples, whether in Egypt or Babylon, than the etymologist.

For example, in the sentence, I dislike both to lend and to borrow, the elements to lend and to borrow are alike in form as well as in construction, each being an infinitive. In the sentence, I do not object to lend money occasionally, but dislike borrowing, the elements to lend and borrowing are dissimilar in form; for while to lend and borrowing syntactically are not unlike, each being a verbal noun, ?noun and verb at the same time, ? and used as an object, as indicated, they differ in grammatical form; to lend being an infinitive and borrowing a gerund. By substituting the infinitive to borrow for the gerund borrowing the rhetorical effect is greatly improved. Further examples of constructions that are greatly improved by making the parallel elements alike in form are seen in the following: Original The dramatizing of novels and the presentation of the pl.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
