Learn and Write. A noun is the name of anything. There are THREE kinds of nouns-Common, Proper, and Abstract. A common noun is the name given in common to everything of the same kind, as town, boy, joiner. The word "town" is a common noun, because it does not mean any particular place, and the name can be given to thousands of other similar places. A proper noun is the name of any particular person or place-London, Leeds, Thomas. "London" is a proper noun, because it is the name of a particular place. "Thomas" is a proper noun, because it means a particular person. Proper nouns always BEGIN WITH capital letters.+ Ex. 58. Place the PROPER and COMMON nouns in columns.- Leeds is a large town. Manchester is a city. London stands on the river Thames. John went to see his aunt at Banbury. The Queen's principal residence is at Windsor Castle, on the river Thames.

The common pronunciation in the neighbourhood is Hart'lepool, but the correct one is indicated above.

It may also be noticed that formerly all nouns were printed with a capital letter, as they still are in German, Lesson 170.-Friday Morning. Work these Sums.

Learn and Write. An abstract noun is the name of a QUALITY, or of an IDEA. It is something we can only THINK about, as wisdom, sleep, idleness. We cannot see or feel "wisdom," though we can see a wise man. We cannot see or feel "sleep," though we can see a sleepiny child, and we can feel sleepy. We cannot see or feel "idleness," but we can see an idle boy, and feel idle. The names of most things which we cannot see with our eyes, or feel with our hands, and which we can only know of in our mind, are ABSTRACT NOUNS. Ex. 59. Arrange the PROPER, COMMON, and ABSTRACT nouns in THREE columns.The whiteness of the snow dazzles me. The goodness of that man is great. What a commotion you are causing!
