may be accounted for
--three _authorized_ forms of expression, with respect to the verb.
_Needs_, as an adv., its composition

_Needless_, mixing of characters in printing, bad effect of
--capitals; effect of
--articles, to be omitted
--ellipses, the supposition of, a common error among grammarians
--use of participles for nouns, or nouns for participles
--words, ineleg.
--possessive or art. before a part., how corrected
--periods, or other points, after certain numeral expressions
--abbreviations, offend against taste
--dashes inserted, how to be treated

_Negation_, expressed in the early Eng. by multiplied negatives; such
manner of expression now obsolete and improper
--Effect on a _negation_, of two negatives in the same clause

_Negatives_, the comm. rule of the grammars, that "two negatives, in Eng.,
destroy each other, or &c.," whether a correct one

_Neither_, see _Either_

_Neuter verb_, defined
--_Neuter verbs_, the _active-trans_. verbs are so called in most
grammars and dictionaries; the absurdity of this
--extent of this class of verbs; their existence in any lang. denied by
some grammarians
--Neut. verb BE, conjugated
--_Neuter verbs_, made from active-transitives, (_am come, is gone_,
&c.;) these called by some, "neuter passives"
--of passive form, (_am grown, are flown_, &c.,) as errors of
conjugat., or of synt.
--do., how may be distinguished from pass. verbs
--do., DR. PRIESTL. mistaken notions concerning their nature and
propriety
--_Neut. verbs_, and their participles, take the same case after as
before them
--_Neuter verb_ between two nominatives, its agreem.

_Nevertheless_, its composition and class

_No_ or _none_, pronom. adj. _No_, as negative adj., "remarkable ambiguity
in the use of," noticed by PRIESTL., ("_No laws are better than the
English_;") how the ambiguity may be avoided
--as a simple negation, its construc.
--as an adv. of deg., relating only to comparatives, ("NO _more_,"
--"NO _better_")
--set before a noun, is an adj., corresponding to Lat. _nullus_
--In the phrases, _no longer, no more, no where_, DR. JOH. appar.
suggests wrongly the class; its true class according to its several
relations
--_No_, or an other independent negative, _repeated_, its effect
--_No_, adv., not to be used with reference
