Figures of Speech Used in the Bible Explained and Illustrated (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Figures of Speech Used in the Bible: Explained and Illustrated All language is governed by law; but, in order to increase the power of a word, or the force of an expression, these laws are designedly departed from, and words and sentences are thrown into, and used in, new forms, or gures. The ancient Greeks reduced these new and peculiar forms to science, and gave names to more than two hundred of them.
