OBS. 4.-The Interrogative what, followed by the Conjunctions though, if, and some others, commonly belongs to a Principal Sentence understood, and on which the following sentence depends for sense. EXAMPLES.-1. "What if the foot aspired to be the head?"

ADJECTIVE PRONOUNS.

RULE 5.-Adjective Pronouns are substituted for the Nouns which they qualify.

NOTE I. When used as Subjects, each, either, neither, this, that, and all other Adjective Pronouns indicating unity, require their Verbs to be in the Singular Number.

EXAMPLES.-1. "Each believes its own."

2. Either is sufficient.

NOTE II.-These, those, many, others, several, and other Adjective Pronouns indicating plurality, require their Verbs to be in the Plural.

EXAMPLES.-1. "These are the things which defile.”

2. "Those were halcyon days."

NOTE III-Any, all, like, some, none, more, and such, may have Verbs in the Singular or Plural, according as they indicate unity or plurality.

EXAMPLES.-1. "None but the upright in heart are capable of being true friends."-Y. L. Friend.

2. "None has arrived."

3. "All are but parts of one stupendous whole."

4. "What if the field be lost! All is not lost."

5. "The like were never seen before." "Like produces

like."

6. "Objects of importance must be portrayed by objects of importance; such as have grace, by things graceful." "Nestled at its root

7.

Is Beauty; such as blooms not in the glare

Of the broad sun."

OBS. 1.—Qualifying and some Specifying Adjectives receive the definitive "the" before them, on becoming Adjective Pronouns. They may be qualified by Adjectives or Adverbs, according as the thing or the quality is to be qualified.

EXAMPLES.-1. "The GOOD alone are great."

2. "The professedly GOOD are not always really so.”

3. "The much GOOD done by him will not soon be forgotten."

'Professedly" modifies the quality-hence, is an Adverb.

“Much” limits the things done—hence, is an Adjective.

OBS. 2.—In the analysis of a Sentence, each other, one another, and simlar distributives, are properly parsed as single words.

But, in strict construction the parts perform different offices.

EXAMPLES.-They assisted each other.

They assisted-each [assisted] the other.

OBS. 3.—When two things are mentioned in contrast, and severally referred to by Adjective Pronouns-this and these, refer to the latter— that and those, to the former.

EXAMPLES.-1. "Here living tea-pots stand, one arm held out,

ONE bent; the handle THIS, and that the spout."- Pope

2. "Farewell, my friends; farewell, my FOES;
My peace with THESE, my love with those."-Burns.

8. "Some place the bliss in action; SOME, in ease:

Those call it pleasure; and contentment THESE."
