4. She said she was alone within the world, How could she but (a) be sad?

(a) But is here equivalent in sense to not, and is therefore an adverb qualifying be.

5. Not but (a) that the place is large.

(a) The term not but is equivalent to two negatives that make an affirmative, (GOOLD BROWN, p. 666, Obs. 28.) But is therefore, in the present example, an adverb of negation qualifying the verb is.

6. The thing they can't but purpose they postpone (a). - Young.

(a) This sentence is equivalent to "The thing [which] they can not not purpose they postpone;" that is, they postpone the thing which they can not avoid purposing.

7.

Who'd these fardels bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life,

But (a) that the dread of something after death,—
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn

No traveler returns,-puzzles the will,

And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of?

(a) But is here a substitute for a sentence, and is equivalent to "were it not." But, according to etymologists, is compounded of the imperative be and the adverb out. Resolving but into its elements, the present sentence will therefore read thus: "Who'd these fardels bear, etc., be out [the fact] that the dread of something after death makes us rather bear, etc." Be out [the fact] is the same in sense as "if it were not for the fact."

8. The world is full of testimony to prove how much depends upon industry: not an eminent author has lived but (a) is an example of it.

(a) In this example supply, after but, "the man who." But has here, as in example 7, the sense of be out. The idea is that "be out" or "leave out the person who is an example of industry, not an eminent author has lived."
