     1. As a demonstrative pronoun, this denotes something that is
        present or near in place or time, or something just
        mentioned, or that is just about to be mentioned.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              When they heard this, they were pricked in their
              heart.                                --Acts ii. 37.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              But know this, that if the good man of the house had
              known in what watch the thief would come, he would
              have watched.                         --Matt. xxiv.

        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. As an adjective, this has the same demonstrative force as
        the pronoun, but is followed by a noun; as, this book;
        this way to town.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: This may be used as opposed or correlative to that, and
           sometimes as opposed to other or to a second this. See
           the Note under That, 1.

                 need not, follow.                  --Hooker.
           [1913 Webster]
  
                 Consider the arguments which the author had to
                 write this, or to design the other, before you
                 arraign him.                       --Dryden.
           [1913 Webster]
  
                 Thy crimes . . . soon by this or this will end.
                                                    --Addison.
           [1913 Webster]
