FIRST ANALYSIS.
I. Verb...... " Will feel surprised."'
II. Subject..... "A reader."
III. Adjective..... "Acquainted with —literature," qualifies the Subject.
IV. Adverb (a) of Cause. "WhVenhe sees-neglected.",,, (b) of Manner "Not unnaturally."

TIIRD ANALYSIS.
"So large a portion -neglected."
I. Verb..... "Is devoted."
II. Subject..... "So large a portion of
time."
III. Adverbs (a) Manner or
Purpose. " To the study-generation.",,, (b) Circumstance "While2 our Englishneglected."
No further Sentence remains for analysis; but it may be
well to mention that in Clause (a) the Relative Clause
" whose works - generation," is an Adjective Clause qualifying " authors;" and that the Plhrase "of a few ancient
authors " is an Adjective Phrase qualifying "study."
1 "Feel surprised " is a Compound Verb, like "He fell laine,"
" He grew tall"
2 " While " may either mean " at the very time when," (as perhaps here,) or " although," or simply '" but on the other hand." In
the last case "while" approacles a Co-ordinate Conjunction in
meaning, for it is nearly the same as "but, on the other hand."
