NOTE XIX. The conjunction as, after such, many, and same, is generally considered a relative pronoun; as in the following examples:

"He receives into his school as

many scholars as (1.) apply.' "Our instructer, who is scrupulously exact in the execution of justice, punishes severely all such as disobey his commands."

"He took such books as pleased him."

"He exhibited the same course of conduct as was once before exhibited on the same occasion."

Remarks.-(1.) As is a conjunction, used here as a relative, according to the NOTE preceding; of the third person plural, masculine gender, agreeing with scholars, according to RULE V.; and in the nominative case to apply, accord ing to RULE VI.

NOTE XX.-The conjunction than seems to have the force of a preposition before the relative whom, in a sentence where a comparison is made; as follows:

"Which, when Beelzebub perceived, than whom, (1.) Satan (2.) excepted, (3.) none higher

sat."

"Alfred, than whom, Solomon excepted, a wiser king never reigned, was one of the earliest English kings."

Remarks. (1.) Whom is governed by the conjunction than, used as a preposition, according to NOTE XX. (2.) Apply RULE XVII.-(3.) Participle, agreeing with Satan, by RULE XIII.-It is somewhat remarkable, that if, in the last two examples, the personal pronoun he were substituted for whom, it would be in the nominative case; as, "A wiser king never reigned than he ;” that is," than he was."
