1. This catalogue contains but a small portion of the adverbs in our
language. Many adverbs are formed by a combination of prepositions
with the adverbs of place, _here, there, where_; as, Hereof,
thereof, whereof; hereto, thereto, whereto; hereby, thereby,
whereby; herewith, therewith, wherewith; herein, therein, wherein;
therefore, (i.e. there-for,) wherefore, (i.e. where-for,) hereupon,
hereon, thereupon, thereon, whereupon, whereon, &c.
2. Some adverbs are composed of nouns or verbs and the letter _a_,
used instead of _at, an_, &c.; as, Aside, athirst, afoot, asleep,
aboard, ashore, abed, aground, afloat, adrift, aghast, ago, askance,
away, asunder, astray, &c.
