7.Our grammarians deny the comparison of many adjectives, from a false notion that they are already superlatives.

Thus W. Allen: "Adjectives compounded with the Latin preposition per, are already superlative: as, perfect, perennial, permanent, &c."Elements of E. Gram., p. 52.

Thus Kirkham: "The following adjectives, and many others, are always in the superlative degree; because, by expressing a quality in the highest degree, they carry in themselves a superlative signification: chief, extreme, perfect, right, wrong, honest, just, true, correct, sincere, vast, immense, ceaseless, infinite, endless, unparalleled, universal, supreme, unlimited, omnipotent, all-wise, eternal."

The rest are simply adjectives that are not susceptible of comparison: they are not "superlatives" at all.

13.Pronominal adjectives, when their nouns are expressed, simply relate to them, and have no modifications: except this and that, which form the plurals these and those; and much, many, and a few others, which are compared.

14.Pronominal adjectives, when their nouns are not expressed, may be parsed as representing them in person, number, gender, and case; but those who prefer it, may supply the ellipsis, and parse the adjective, simply as an adjective.

Hence some have represented old as having a two-fold comparison; and have placed it, not very properly, among the irregular adjectives.

In the Fourth Praxis, it is required of the pupilto distinguish and define the different parts of speech, and the classes and modifications of the ARTICLES, NOUNS, and ADJECTIVES.

Those adjectives which may be varied in sense, but not in form, are compared by means of adverbs.

ERRORS OF ADJECTIVES.

But, according to Observation 15th, on the Classes of Adjectives, each other must be applied to two persons or things, and one an other to more than two.

"Nouns are often used as adjectives; as, A gold-ring, a silver-cup.

These solutions, however, convert which and what into adjectives: and, in fact, as they have no inflections for the numbers and cases, there is reason to think them at all times essentially such.

8.So the personal pronouns of the possessive case, (which some call adjectives,) are sometimes represented by relatives, though less frequently than their primitives: as, "How different, O Ortogrul, is thy condition, who art doomed to the perpetual torments of unsatisfied desire!"Dr.

Examples like this, disprove the doctrine of those grammarians who say that my, thy, his, her, its, and their plurals, our, your, their, are adjectives.

For, if they were mere adjectives, they could not thus be made antecedents.
