The specific laws of the diagrams classified, in the second place, according to the functional relations of elements, are applicable to individual relations, clause relations, and comparative subordination, as comprehensively exhibited in the following TABULAR SCHEMES for the sentence and the phrase. First. Figures representative of principal elements are placed uppermost, on the same general horizontal line, in the natural order of the radical form of the proposition or phrase attached, as follows : Secondly. If there are several elements of the same kind, in the same clause, the first figure is placed uppermost, the others below it in the order of their succession, the lowest resting on the horizontal line, and all attached in the general order of their relation as indicated in rule first. Thus in propositions, - see subjects, predicates, and objects, as follows : to bis Hope * Incorrect in omitting the line of separation.

PHRASE ADJUNCTS. If the adjuncts are phrases, they are placed in reverse order,* the first at the extreme right of the superior * This reversed order for the attachment of phrase adjuncts is demanded for convenience in compact drawing. figure and so on successively toward the left ; all properly attached to the superior, element figure.
