II.  RELATIVE AND ANTECEDENT.

[Sidenote:  The rule.]

414.  The general rule is, that the relative pronoun agrees with its antecedent in person and number.

[Sidenote:  In what sense true.]

This cannot be true as to the form of the pronoun, as that does not vary for person or number.  We say I, you, he, they, etc., who; these or that which, etc.  However, the relative carries over the agreement from the antecedent before to the verb following, so far as the verb has forms to show its agreement with a substantive.  For example, in the sentence, “He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public,” that is invariable as to person and number, but, because of its antecedent, it makes the verb third person singular.

Notice the agreement in the following sentences:—­

     There is not one of the company, but myself, who rarely
     speak at all, but speaks of him as that sort, etc.—­ADDISON.

     O Time! who know’st a lenient hand to lay Softest on sorrow’s
     wound.—­BOWLES.

     Let us be of good cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest
     to bear are those which never come.—­LOWELL.

[Sidenote:  A disputed point.]
