sentences are found in the writings of
our best authors, and it would be presumptuous to consider them as
ungrammatical. If the word _whom_ should be preferred, then it would
be best to say, "For _whom_ is this reserved?" &c.

22. Instead of "After _which_ hour," say "After _that_ hour."

23. _Self_ should never be added to _his, their, mine, or thine._

24. _Each_ is used to denote every individual of a number.

25. _Every_ denotes all the individuals of a number.

26. _Either_ and _or_ denote an alternative: "I will take _either_
road, at your pleasure;" "I will take this _or_ that."

27. _Neither_ means _not either_; and _nor_ means _not the other_.

28. _Either_ is sometimes used for _each_--"Two thieves were
crucified, on _either_ side one."

29. "Let _each_ esteem others as good as themselves," should be,
"Let _each_ esteem others as good as _himself_."

30. "There are bodies _each_ of which _are_ so small," should be,
"each of which _is_ so small."

31. Do not use double superlatives, such as _most straightest_,
_most highest_, _most finest_.

32. The term _worser_ has gone out of use; but _lesser_ is still
retained.

33. The use of such words as _chiefest_, _extremest_, &c., has
become obsolete, because they do not give any superior force to the
meanings of the primary words, _chief_, _extreme_, &c.

34. Such expressions as _more impossible_, _more indispensable_,
_more universal_, _more uncontrollable_, _more unlimited_, &c., are
objectionable, as they really enfeeble the meaning which it is the
object of the speaker or writer to strengthen. For instance,
_impossible_ gains no strength by rendering it _more_ impossible.
This class of error is common with persons who say, "A _great large_
house," "A _great big_ animal," "A _little small_ foot," "A _tiny
little_ hand."

35. _Here_, _there_, and _where_, originally denoting place, may
now, by common consent, he used to denote other meanings; such as,
"_There_ I agree with you," "_Where_ we differ," "We find pain
_where_ we expected pleasure," "_Here_ you mistake me."

36. _Hence_, _whence_, and _thence_, denoting departure, &c., may be
used without the word _from_. The idea of _from_ is included in the
word _whence_--therefore it is unnecessary to say "_From whence_."

37. _Hither_, _thither_
