Satan, than whom
None higher sat, thus spake
we find them, according to the current etymology, incorrect—
Satan spake—none sat higher than he sat.
Satan spake—none sat higher than Satan sat.
Hence the expression should be,
Satan than who
None higher sat.
Observe.—The words, according to the current etymology, indicate an explanation which, rightly or wrongly, has been urged in favour of expressions like the one in question, and which will be noticed in a future chapter.
