All that
(gcide) | That \That\, pron., a., conj., & adv. [AS. [eth]aet, neuter nom.
& acc. sing. of the article (originally a demonstrative
pronoun). The nom. masc. s[=e], and the nom. fem. se['o] are
from a different root. AS. [eth]aet is akin to D. dat, G.
das, OHG. daz, Sw. & Dan. det, Icel. [thorn]at (masc. s[=a],
fem. s[=o]), Goth. [thorn]ata (masc. sa, fem. s[=o]), Gr. ?
(masc. ?, fem. ?), Skr. tat (for tad, masc. sas, fem. s[=a]);
cf. L. istud that. [root]184. Cf. The, Their, They,
Them, This, Than, Since.]
1. As a demonstrative pronoun (pl. Those), that usually
points out, or refers to, a person or thing previously
mentioned, or supposed to be understood. That, as a
demonstrative, may precede the noun to which it refers;
as, that which he has said is true; those in the basket
are good apples.
[1913 Webster]
The early fame of Gratian was equal to that of the
most celebrated princes. --Gibbon.

not merely to a word. It usually follows, but sometimes
precedes, the sentence referred to.

to slay the righteous with the wicked. --Gen.

[1913 Webster]
Note: That is often used in opposition to this, or by way of
distinction, and in such cases this, like the Latin hic
and French ceci, generally refers to that which is
nearer, and that, like Latin ille and French cela, to
that which is more remote. When they refer to foreign
words or phrases, this generally refers to the latter,
and that to the former.

the pronoun, but is followed by a noun.

spoken of, or alluded to, before, and may be either
singular or plural.

A judgment that is equal and impartial must incline
to the greater probabilities. --Bp. Wilkins.
[1913 Webster]
[1913 Webster]
Note: If the relative clause simply conveys an additional
idea, and is not properly explanatory or restrictive,
who or which (rarely that) is employed; as, the king
that (or who) rules well is generally popular;
Victoria, who (not that) rules well, enjoys the
confidence of her subjects. Ambiguity may in some cases
be avoided in the use of that (which is restrictive)
instead of who or which, likely to be understood in a
coordinating sense. --Bain.

as what is now; but such use is now archaic.

Scott.

[1913 Webster] Formerly, that was used, where we now
commonly use which, as a relative pronoun with the
demonstrative pronoun that as its antecedent.
