one; something. It Is used as a substitute for a noun 
designating a person or thing, and Is In so far of the na- 
ture of a personal pronoun, but U capable, unlike a personal 
pronoun, of being qualified by an Indefinite article, an 
adjective, or other attributive : as, tuth a one, many a one, 
a good one, each one, which one. It Is used In the plural 
also : as, I have left all the bad onei.

(d) It easily passes, however, from the meaning 'anyone' 
into the collective sense of 'all persons,' 'people general- 
ly,' and for this can be substituted people, they, ice (if the 
speaker does not except himself from the general state- 
ment), j/otf (the person addressed being taken as an ex- 
ample of others in general), or the impersonal passive may 
be substituted : as, one cannot be too careful (we cannot, 
you cannot, they cannot, people cannot be too careful) ; one 
knows not when (it is not known when). One is sometimes 
virtually a substitute for the first person, employed by a 
speaker who does not wish to put himself prominently for- 
ward : as, one does not like to say so, but it is only too true ; 
one tries to do one's best. One's self or nnetelf Is the cor- 
responding reflexive : as, one must not praise one's 9e(f.

ed at another) ; they threw atones alone another (one threw 
stones at another) ; the storm beats the trees against one 
another (beats one against another).}
