* Observe that of the active voice of the transitive the object is him or her or 

 it; of the middle voice the object is self; and of the passive the object is me, 

 but that the order of arrangement of agent and object is reversed in the passive 

 as compared with the active voice and so also in the indicative mood. This is 

 done in conformity to the genius of this language which requires the attention to 

 be primarily fixed on the agent in one voice, on the object in the other. It will 

 be seen in the sequel that there are further special forms of the verb to denote the 

 action which passes from me to thee and from thee to me. These are necessary 

 complements of the passive voice in a language which makes the mention of agents 

 and patients inseparable from that of the action.
