Adjective pronouns belong to nouns, expressed or understood; as, "_Any_

man, _all_ men."

NOTE 1. The demonstrative adjective pronouns must agree in number

with their nouns; as, "_This_ book, _these_ books; _that_ sort,

_those_ sorts."

2. The pronominal adjectives, _each, every, either, neither,

another_, and _one_, agree with nouns in the singular number only;

as, "_Each_ man, _every_ person, _another_ lesson;" unless the

plural nouns convey a collective idea: as, "_Every_ six months."

3. _Either_ is often improperly employed instead of _each;_ as, "The

king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, sat _either_ of

them on his throne." _Each_ signifies _both_ taken separately;

_either_ implies only _the one_ or _the other_ taken

disjunctively:--"sat _each_ on _his_ throne."
