Kirkham, Samuel

"English Grammar in Familiar Lectures"

"Let _such as_ presume to advise others, look well to their
own conduct;" that is, Let _those_, or _them who_ presume, &c. "_As many
as_ were ordained to eternal life, believed;" that is, _they, those_, or
_all who_ were ordained, believed. "He exhibited the _same_ testimonials
_as_ were adduced on a former occasion;" that is, _those_ testimonials
_which_ were adduced, &c. But, in examples like these, if we supply the
ellipsis which a critical analysis requires us to do, _as_ will be found
to be a conjunction; thus, "I am pleased with _such persons, as those
persons are who_ have a refined taste; Let _such persons, as those
persons are who_ presume," &c.
