5. _These_ are the first mountains that broke the uniform level of the earth's surface.--AGASSIZ DISTRIBUTIVE PRONOUNS. [Sidenote: _Definition and examples._] 134. The DISTRIBUTIVE PRONOUNS are those which stand for the names of persons or things considered singly. [Sidenote: _Simple._] Some of these are _simple_ pronouns; for example,-- They stood, or sat, or reclined, as seemed good to _each_. As two yoke devils sworn to _other's_ purpose. Their minds accorded into one strain, and made delightful music which _neither_ could have claimed as all his own. [Sidenote: _Compound_.] Two are compound pronouns,--_each other_, _one another_. They may be separated into two adjective pronouns; as, We violated our reverence _each_ for _the other's_ soul. --HAWTHORNE. |
