"A great and a good man has departed." The verb has implies that only one man has departed, hence the sentence should be, "A great and good man has departed." 2: "He is but a poor writer at best." Say, "at the best." "He received but a thousand votes at most." Say, "at the most." 3: Usage: Article omitted. "A clergyman and philosopher entered the hall together."

"A clergyman and a philosopher entered the hall together." 4: "They sang the first and second verse," should be, "They sang the first and the second verse." "The literal and figurative meaning of words" should be, "The literal and the figurative meaning of words." 5: "In framing of his sentences he was very exact," should be, "In the framing," etc., or, "In framing his sentences he was very exact." "The masculine and feminine gender," should be, "The masculine and the feminine gender." 6: "After singing a hymn, Miss Willard made a stirring address." If Miss Willard alone sang the hymn the sentence is correct. If the congregation sang the hymn the sentence should be, "After the singing of a hymn, Miss Willard made a stirring address." 7: "John came day before yesterday." Say, "the day before yesterday." 8: "The nominative and the objective cases," should be "The nominative and objective cases." 9: "The one styled the Provost is the head of the University," should be, "The one styled Provost." 10: "This is the kind of a tree of which he was speaking," should be, "This is the kind of tree," etc. "What kind of a bird is this?" should be, "What kind of bird." 11: Usage: Article redundant.
