Cowper quotation below, and in the anonymous one that precedes it.
Juices ready prepared, and which can be absorbed immediately.—Huxley.
A deliberate attempt to frame and to verify general rules as to phenomena of all kinds, and which can, therefore, be propagated by argument or persuasion...—L. Stephen.
'Rules that shall be general, and that can...'
A painful, comprehensive survey of a very complicated matter, and which requires a great variety of considerations, is to be made.—Burke.
The goldsmith to the royal household, and who, if fame spoke true, oftentimes acted as their banker,... was a person of too much importance to...—Scott.
'The man who was goldsmith to...and who'.
It is a compliment due, and which I willingly pay, to those who administer our affairs.—Burke.
All these are correct, with defining coordinates throughout.
'A junior subaltern, with pronounced military and political views, with no false modesty in expressing them, and who (sic) possesses the ear of the public,...'—(Quoted by the Times.)
'Who has...views, and who...' 'Sic' is the comment of the Times writer. The coordination is correct.
While there, she had ample opportunity afforded her of studying fashionable life in all its varied and capricious moods, and which have been preserved to posterity in her admirable delineations of character.
I am sensible that you cannot in my uncle's present infirm state, and of which it is not possible to expect any considerable amendment, indulge us with a visit.—Cowper.
These are the instances of false expansion alluded to above. The former is based on the non-defining expansion 'in all its moods, which are varied and capricious'; the true expansion being 'in all the varied and capricious moods in which it reveals itself', a defining clause, which will not do with the 'and which'. Similarly, the second is based on the non-defining expansion 'in my uncle's present state, which is an infirm one'; the true expansion is 'in the infirm state in which my uncle now is'. In both, a non-defining clause is coordinated with words that can only yield a defining clause.
