"A work on english grammar and composition"

We may
say, "_All of_ the _people_," "_Both of_ the _trees_," "The _whole of_ the
farm," or "_All_ the _people_," "_Both trees_," "The _whole farm_."
4. We may use the pronouns +either+ and +neither+, as we do the
conjunctions _either_ and _neither_, with more than two; we may use _any
one_ and _none_ in such cases. We may say, "Here are _three candidates_;
you may vote for _either_ or for _neither_ of them," or "for _any one_ or
for _none_ of them."
5. We may use +he+ or some other personal pronoun after the indefinite one;
we may repeat the _one_ in such a case. We may say, "The home _one_ must
quit, yet taking much of its life along with _him_," or "along with _one_."
6. We may use +such+ before an adjective and its noun; we may use _so_ with
the adjective in such a case. We may say, "_Such a strong argument_,"
"_Such admirable talent_," or "_So strong an argument_," "_Talent so
admirable_."
7. We may use the plural +ones+; we may use the noun for which _ones_
stands. We may say, "You have red roses, I have white _ones_," or "white
_roses_."
8. We may apply +the other two+ to those that remain when one of three
things has been taken from the rest; we may use _the two others_ in such a
case. We may say, "One of them kept his ground; _the other two_ ran away,"
or "_the two others_ ran away.
