Not proper; for, although _and_ couples things together so as to present

the whole at one view, yet _every_ has a contrary effect: it distributes

numbered is therefore improper. It should be, "_was_ numbered," in the

singular, according to the Note. (Repeat it.)

every occurrence are beheld in the most favorable light.
