The child
_that_ we have just seen."

3. _Which_ may be applied to persons when we wish to distinguish one
person of two, or a particular person among a number of others; as,
"_Which_ of the two? _Which_ of them is he?"

4. _That_, in preference to _who_ or _which_, is applied to persons
when they are qualified by an adjective in the superlative degree,
or by the pronominal adjective _same_; as, "Charles XII., king of
Sweden, was one of the _greatest_ madmen _that_ the world ever
saw;--He is the _same_ man _that_ we saw before."

5. _That_ is employed after the interrogative _who_, in cases like
the following; "Who _that_ has any sense of religion, would have
argued thus?"

When the word _ever_ or _soever_ is annexed to a relative pronoun, the
combination is called a _compound pronoun_; as, _whoever_ or _whosoever,
whichever_ or _whichsoever, whatever_ or _whatsoever_.

DECLENSION OF THE RELATIVE PRONOUNS.

SINGULAR AND PLURAL.

_Nom._ who, _Poss._ whose, _Obj._ whom.
" whoever, " whosever, " whomever.
" whosoever, " whosesoever, " whomsoever.

_Which_ and _that_ are indeclinable, except that _whose_ is sometimes
used as the possessive case of _which_; as, "Is there any other doctrine
_whose_ followers are punished;" that is, the followers _of which_ are
punished. The use of this license has obtained among our best writers;
but the construction is not to be recommended, for it is a departure
from a plain principle of grammar, namely, who, whose, whom, in their
applications, should be confined to rational beings.

_That_ may be used as a pronoun, an adjective, and a conjunction,
depending on the office which it performs in the sentence.

_That_ is a relative only when it can be changed to _who_ or _which_
without destroying the sense; as, "They _that_ (who) reprove us, may be
our best friends; From every thing _that_ (which) you see, derive
instruction." _That_ is a demonstrative adjective, when it belongs to,
or points out, some particular noun, either expressed or implied; as,
"Return _that_ book; _That_ belongs to me; Give me _that_." When _that_
is neither a relative nor an adjective pronoun, it is a conjunction; as,
"Take care _that_ every day be well employed." The word _that_, in this
last sentence, cannot be changed to _who_ or _which_ without destroying
the sense, therefore you know it is not a relative pronoun; n
