”During the three or four first years of its existence”--_Taylor's District School_, p 27
[FORMULE--Not proper, because the cardinal numbers, _three_ and _four_ are put before the ordinal _first_ But, according to the 7th part of Obs 7th, page 280th, ”In specifying any part of a series, we ought to place the cardinal number after the ordinal” Therefore the words _three_ and _four_ should be placed after _first_; thus, ”During the _first three_ or _four_ years of its existence”]

”Brutus engaged with Aruns; and so fierce was the attack, that they pierced one another at the same time”--_Lempriere's Dict_
[FORMULE--Not proper, because the phrase _one another_ is here applied to two persons only, the words _an_ and _other_ being needlessly co to Observation 15th, on the Classes of Adjectives, _each other_ s, and _one an other_ to more than two Therefore _one another_ should here be _each other_; thus, ”Brutus engaged with Aruns; and so fierce was the attack, that they pierced _each other_ at the same time”]

CHAPTER V--pronOUNS
A pronoun is a word used in stead of a noun: as, The boy loves _his_ book; _he_ has long lessons, and _he_ learns _thee are twenty-four; and their variations are thirty-two: so that the number of _words_ of this class, is fifty-six
OBSERVATIONS
OBS 1--The word for which a pronoun stands, is called its _antecedent_, because it usually precedes the pronoun But some have limited the term _antecedent_ to the word represented by a _relative_ pronoun There can be no propriety in this, unless ill have every pronoun to be a relative, when it stands for a noun which precedes it; and, if so, it should be called so else, when the noun is to be found elsewhere In the example above, _his_ and _he_ represent _boy_, and _them_ represents _lessons_; and these nouns are as truly the antecedents to the pronouns, as any can be Yet _his, he_, and _therammars, are not called relative pronouns, but personal
OBS 2--Every pronoun , for the _thing itself_ unnamed, or for a _for, for which it stands, every pronoun ender The exceptions to this, whether apparent or real, are very few; and, as their occurrence is unfrequent, there will be little occasion to notice them till we come to syntax But if the student will observe the use and import of pronouns, he may easily see, that some of them are put _substantively_, for nouns not previously introduced; so before; some, _adjectively_, for nouns that must follow them in any explanation which can be made of the sense These three modes of substitution, are very different, each from the others Yet they do not serve for an accurate division of the pronouns; because it often happens, that a substitute which commonly represents the noun in one of these ways, will sometimes represent it in an other
OBS 3--The pronouns _I_ and _thou_, in their different eneral, sufficiently knoithout being na _the speaker_, and _thou, the hearer_;) their antecedents, or nouns, are therefore generally _understood_ The other personal pronouns, also, are soeneral and des not previously e, spareth his words”--_Bible_ Here _he_ is equivalent to _the man_, or _the person_ ”The care of posterity is most in _them_ that have no posterity”--_Bacon_ Here _them_ is equivalent to _those persons_ ”How far do you call _it_ to such a place?”--_Priestley's Gra to Priestley, is put for _the distance_ ”For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and _they_ should seek the law at his mouth”--_Malachi_, ii, 7 Here _they_ is put indefinitely for _h called relatives, do not always relate to a noun or pronoun going before them; for _who_ may be a direct substitute for _what person_; and _which_ _: as, ”And he that was healed, wist not _who_ it was”--_John_, v, 13 That is, ”_The man as healed, knew not _what person_ it was” ”I care not _which_ you take; they are so much alike, one cannot tell _which_ is _which_”
