"Section F, G and H"

"Anything so overdone is
from the purpose of playing." Shak. From, when
joined with another preposition or an adverb, gives an opportunity
for abbreviating the sentence. "There followed him great multitudes
of people . . . from [the land] beyond Jordan."
Math. iv. 25. In certain constructions, as from forth,
from out, etc., the ordinary and more obvious arrangment is
inverted, the sense being more distinctly forth from, out
from -- from being virtually the governing preposition,
and the word the adverb. See From off, under Off,
adv., and From afar, under Afar,
adv.
