Excerpt from Synonyms and Antonyms: Collected and Contrasted If it should be said that, as a word of grammar, it would have the meaning of pronoun, the answer might be that it is not here used as a grammatical term.

Yet the word Antonym seems to be wanted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
