PREPOSITIONS..
305. The word preposition implies place before: hence it would seem that a preposition is always before its object. It may be so in the majority of cases, but in a considerable proportion of instances the preposition is after its object.
This occurs in such cases as the following:—
Preposition not before its object.
(1) After a relative pronoun, a very common occurrence; thus,—
The most dismal Christmas fun which these eyes ever looked on.—Thackeray.
An ancient nation which they know nothing of.—Emerson.
A foe, whom a champion has fought with to-day.—Scott.
Some little toys that girls are fond of.—Swift.
"It's the man that I spoke to you about" said Mr. Pickwick.—Dickens.
