most important difficulties to be surmounted.--HALLAM. 7. Do me the justice to tell me what I have a title to be acquainted with, and which I am certain to know more truly from you than from others.--SCOTT. 8. He will do this amiable little service out of what one may say old civilization has established in place of goodness of heart, but which is perhaps not so different from it.--HOWELLS. 9. In my native town of Salem, at the head of what, half a century ago, was a bustling wharf,--but which is now burdened with decayed wooden warehouses.--HAWTHORNE. 10. His recollection of what he considered as extreme presumption in the Knight of the Leopard, even when he stood high in the roles of chivalry, but which, in his present condition, appeared an insult sufficient to drive the fiery monarch into a frenzy of passion.--SCOTT [Sidenote: That which ... what.] 11. He, now without any effort but that which he derived from the sill, and what little his feet could secure the irregular crevices, was hung in air.--W.G. SIMMS. [Sidenote: Such as ... which.] 12. It rose into a thrilling passion, such as my heart had always dimly craved and hungered after, but which now first interpreted itself to my ear.--DE QUINCEY. 13. I recommend some honest manual calling, such as they have very probably been bred to, and which will at least give them a chance of becoming President.--HOLMES. [Sidenote: Such as ... whom.] 14. I grudge the dollar, the dime, the cent, I give to such men as do not belong to me, and to whom I do not belong.--EMERSON. [Sidenote: Which ... that ... that.] 15. That evil influence which carried me first away from my father's house, that hurried me into the wild and undigested notion of making my fortune, and that impressed these conceits so forcibly upon me.--DEFOE. ADJECTIVE PRONOUNS. [Sidenote: Each other, one another.] 421. The student is sometimes troubled whether to use each other or one another in expressing reciprocal relation or action. Whether either one refers to a certain number of persons or objects, whether or not the two are equivalent, may be gathered from a study of the following sentences:-- They [Ernest and the poet] led _one another_, as it were, into the high pavilion of their thoughts.--HAWTHORNE.
