The COMPOUND PERSONAL PRONOUNS are formed by adding _self_ or _selves_ to certain of the objective and possessive personal pronouns; as, _herself, myself, itself, themselves_, etc. They are used to add emphasis to an expression; as, _I, MYSELF, did it, He, HIMSELF, said so._ They are also used reflexively after verbs and prepositions; as, _He mentioned HIMSELF, He did it for HIMSELF_. The compound personal pronouns should generally be confined to their emphatic and reflexive use. Do not say, _MYSELF and John will come_, but, _John and I will come_. Do not say, _They invited John and MYSELF_, but, _They invited John and ME_. The compound personal pronouns have no possessive forms; but for the sake of emphasis _own_ with the ordinary possessive form is used; as, _I have my OWN book, Bring your OWN work, He has a home of his OWN._ 31. There are no such forms as _hisself, your'n, his'n, her'n, theirself, theirselves, their'n_. In place of these use simply _his, her, their_, or _your_.
