1. This catalogue contains but a small portion of the adverbs in our
language. Many adverbs are formed by a combination of prepositions
with the adverbs of place, _here, there, where_; as, Hereof,
thereof, whereof; hereto, thereto, whereto; hereby, thereby,
whereby; herewith, therewith, wherewith; herein, therein, wherein;
therefore, (i.e. there-for,) wherefore, (i.e. where-for,) hereupon,
hereon, thereupon, thereon, whereupon, whereon, &c.
2. Some adverbs are composed of nouns or verbs and the letter _a_,
used instead of _at, an_, &c.; as, Aside, athirst, afoot, asleep,
aboard, ashore, abed, aground, afloat, adrift, aghast, ago, askance,
away, asunder, astray, &c.
You will now please to read this lecture _four_ times over, and read
slowly and carefully, for unless you understand well the nature and
character of this part of speech, you will be frequently at a loss to
distinguish it from others in composition. Now do you notice, that, in
this sentence which you have just read, the words _slowly, carefully,
well_, and _frequently_, are adverbs? And do you again observe, that, in
the question I have just put to you, the words _now_ and _just_ are
adverbs? Exercise a little sober thought. Fifteen minutes spent in
reflection, are worth whole days occupied in careless reading.
In the following exercises six parts of speech are presented, namely,
Nouns, Verbs, Articles, Adjectives, Participles, and Adverbs; and I
believe you are now prepared to parse them all agreeably to the
systematic order, _four_ times over. Those words in _italics_ are
adverbs.
