Sometimes the predicate and object are expressed by a single verb, and we have cases, such as are mentioned in Index III. to Mencius' Works, where it has been supposed that is merely a sign of the accusative. E. g. IV. vii. P't. ii. 1, 6. (2) Following the principal verb of the sentence, and followed by a noun, it a preposition, and may be variously translated,-by, with, on the ground of, &c.
