“Finding, the wretched all they here can have,
    But present food, and but a future grave.”—­Prior.

OBS. 12.—­There are yet some other words, which, by their construction alone, are to be distinguished from the pronominal adjectives. Both, when it stands as a correspondent to and, is reckoned a conjunction; as, “For both he that sanctifieth, and they who are sanctified, are all of one.”—­Heb., ii, 11.  But, in sentences like the following, it seems to be an adjective, referring to the nouns which precede:  “Language and manners are both established by the usage of people of fashion.”—­Amer.  Chesterfield, p. 83.  So either, corresponding to or, and neither, referring to nor, are conjunctions, and not adjectives. Which and what, with their compounds, whichever or whichsoever, whatever or whatsoever, though sometimes put before nouns as adjectives, are, for the most part, relative or interrogative pronouns.  When the noun is used after them, they are adjectives; when it is omitted, they are pronouns:  as, “There is a witness of God, which witness gives true judgement.”—­I.  Penington.  Here the word witness might be omitted, and which would become a relative pronoun.  Dr. Lowth says, “Thy, my, her, our, your, their, are pronominal adjectives.”—­Gram., p. 23.  This I deny; and the reader may see my reasons, in the observations upon the declension of pronouns.

OBS. 13.—­The words one and other, besides their primitive uses as adjectives, in which they still remain without inflection, are frequently employed as nouns, or as substitutes for nouns; and, in this substantive or pronominal character, they commonly have the regular declension of nouns, and are reckoned such by some grammarians; though others call them indefinite pronouns, and some, (among whom are Lowth and Comly,) leave them with the pronominal adjectives, even when they are declined in both numbers.  Each of them may be preceded by either of the articles; and so general is the signification of the former, that almost any adjective may likewise come before it:  as, Any one, some one, such a one, many a one, a new one, an old one, an other one, the same one, the young ones, the little ones, the mighty ones, the wicked one, the Holy One, the Everlasting One.  So, like the French on, or l’on, the word one, without any adjective, is now very frequently used as a general or indefinite term for any man, or any person.  In this sense, it is sometimes, unquestionably, to be preferred to a personal pronoun applied indefinitely:  as, “Pure
