Most of the words how to be considered are capable of a double use,--they may be pure modifiers of nouns, or they may stand for nouns. In the first use they are adjectives; in the second they retain an adjective _meaning_, but have lost their adjective _use_. Primarily they are adjectives, but in this function, or use, they are properly classed as adjective pronouns. The following are some examples of these:-- _Some_ say that the place was bewitched.--IRVING. That mysterious realm where _each_ shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death. --BRYANT. How happy is he born or taught That serveth not _another's_ will. --WOTTON |
