Owing to confusion between the gerund and the participle, and to the failure to realize that the gerund can only be used Substantively, the objective case of a modifying noun or pronoun is often wrongly used before the gerund.
"Practical Grammar and Composition"
Thomas Wood
But, in fact the idea of a triangle exists as Substantively in the mind, as that of a tree, if not indeed more so; and if I define these two objects, my description will, in either case, be equally a definition both of the name and of the thing; but in neither, is it copied from any thing else than that notion which I have conceived, of the common properties of all triangles or of all trees.
"The Grammar of English Grammars"
Goold Brown
All adjectives thus taken Substantively, become nouns, and ought to be parsed as such, unless this word others is to be made an exception, and called a "pronoun."
