     1. Of that kind; of the like kind; like; resembling; similar;
        as, we never saw such a day; -- followed by that or as
        introducing the word or proposition which defines the
        similarity, or the standard of comparison; as, the books
        are not such that I can recommend them, or, not such as I
        can recommend; these apples are not such as those we saw
        yesterday; give your children such precepts as tend to
        make them better.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              And in his time such a conqueror

              could refrain from weeping.           --Macaulay.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The indefinite article a or an never precedes such, but
           is placed between it and the noun to which it refers;
           as, such a man; such an honor. The indefinite adjective
           some, several, one, few, many, all, etc., precede such;
           as, one such book is enough; all such people ought to
           be avoided; few such ideas were then held.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     2. Having the particular quality or character specified.

     4. Certain; -- representing the object as already
        particularized in terms which are not mentioned.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              In rushed one and tells him such a knight
              Is new arrived.                       --Daniel.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              To-day or to-morrow we will go into such a city, and
              continue there a year.                --James iv.
                                                    13.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: Such is used pronominally. ``He was the father of such
           as dwell in tents.'' --Gen. iv. 20. ``Such as I are
           free in spirit when our limbs are chained.'' --Sir W.
           Scott. Such is also used before adjectives joined to
           substantives; as, the fleet encountered such a terrible
           storm that it put back. ``Everything was managed with
           so much care, and such excellent order was observed.''
           --De Foe.
           [1913 Webster]
  
                 Temple sprung from a family which . . . long
                 after his death produced so many eminent men, and
                 formed such distinguished alliances, that, etc.
                                                    --Macaulay.
           [1913 Webster] Such is used emphatically, without the
           correlative.
           [1913 Webster]
  
                 Now will he be mocking:
                 I shall have such a life.          --Shak.
           [1913 Webster] Such was formerly used with numerals in
           the sense of times as much or as many; as, such ten, or
           ten times as many.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     Such and such, or Such or such, certain; some; -- used to
        represent the object indefinitely, as already
        particularized in one way or another, or as being of one
        kind or another. ``In such and such a place shall be my
