Rule, it being but _two whole Notes_ from the next _half Note_ to it; the reason is this, the _Ninth_ is one _whole Note_ below the _Eighth_, therefore the 2 must be a _whole Note_ below the _Treble_, otherwise they would not be a true _Eighth_, therefore the _half Note_ is put between 2 and 3. ❋ Richard Duckworth (N/A)

We will be content to group some of their pictures, in whole and in part, in such a way, that all knowledge essential to a just appreciation of the _whole_ character of WASHINGTON may be obtained by the reader who may have followed us in the long narrative of his public life, recorded on the pages of these volumes. ❋ Benson John Lossing (1852)

I hope the reader will keep in mind the object of the above illustration, which is to show, that it is the true policy of the teacher, not to waste his time and strength, in contending against _such accidental instances_ of transgression, as may chance to fall under his notice, but to take an enlarged and extended view of the whole ground, endeavoring to remove _whole classes of faults_, -- to elevate and improve ❋ Jacob Abbott (1841)

There are, doubtless, many men in Switzerland, who abhor the infamous practices of men _selling themselves_, by whole regiments, to fight for any foreign state that will pay them, no matter in what cause, and no matter whether against their own parents or brethren; but the censure falls upon the _whole nation_: and '_no money, no Swiss_,' is a proverb throughout the world. ❋ William Cobbett (1799)

During a long illness which succeeded, my mother, amongst other books past all counting, read to me, in Hoole's translation, the whole of the "Orlando Furioso;" meaning by _the whole_ the entire twenty-four books into which Hoole had condensed the original forty-six of Ariosto; and, from my own experience at that time, I am disposed to think that the homeliness of this version is an advantage, from not calling off the attention at all from the narration to the narrator. ❋ Thomas De Quincey (1822)

And the said Hastings hath declared, in the fifth article of the instructions to the said Resident, that _no_ administration can be properly conducted without regular offices; and that in the whole province of Oude "there was _not one_, the _whole_ being engrossed by the minister": of which minister, in the fourteenth article, he declares his suspicion that the Nabob did not receive the whole and punctual payment of the sum assigned for the purpose of the household, but that some part had been by him withheld from the Nabob; and that, from private information he had lately received, he had reason to believe that this was actually the case. ❋ Edmund Burke (1763)
