Moravia and the county of Glatz, is one of the larged in 
all Silefia; and, among the mediate principalities, the 
fird. The fouthern half of it is very hilly; but the 
northern half, as being lefs mountainous, is more fertile. 
The Neifie and Grotkau circles breed good horfes. The 
latter alfo yields tobacco, and in the former is a great 
number of iron-mills. Its larged river is the Neifie. The 
whole principality of Neifie contains under it eleven 
cities. It belongs to the king of Pruffia, but that part 
which is contiguous to Moravia, is annexed to the crown 
of Bohemia. Though the Grotkau didrift of itlelf forms

NEI'THER, conj. [nap^ep, na^Sasji, Sax. ve either.] 
Not either. A particle uled in the fird branch of a nega¬ 
tive fen fence, and anfwered by w or. Jolmfon —Improperly 
uled when more than two things come under confidera- 
tion : as where Addifon ufes “ determined in his conduft 
neither by the diftates of his own confidence, the fuggef- 
tions of true honour, nor the principles of religion.” He 
ffiould have either left out “ the fuggedions of true ho¬ 
nour,” or he (liould have laid, “ is not determined by the 
diftates of his own confidence, the fuggedions of true 
honour; or the principles of religion. Bp. Hurd. — We 
cannot think this a proper objection; for furely nei¬ 
ther of three things is as eafy to be conceived, and as 
fitly exprefled, as neither of two things.—Men lived at 
home, neither intent upon any foreign merchandife, nor 
inquifitive after the lives and fortunes of their neigh¬ 
bours. Heylin. 
Fie was neither there ne here, 
But clene out of himfelfe away, 
That he n’ot wot to thinke or fay. Gower's Conf. Am. 
It is fometimes the fecond branch of a negative or prohi¬ 
bition to any fentence.—Ye lhall not eat of it, neither lhall 
ye touch it. Gen. iii. 3.—This commandment dandeth 
not for a cypher, neither is it read and expounded in vain 
among Chridians. White. —Sometimes at the end of a fen¬ 
tence it follows as a negative; and, though not very 
grammatically, yet emphatically, after another negative ; 
in old Englilh, tw’o negatives denied.—If it be thought 
that it is the greatnefs of didance, whereby the found 
cannot be heard ; we fee that lightnings and corufcations, 
near at hand, yield no found neither. Bacon. —Men come 
not to the knowledge of ideas which are thought innate 
till they come to the ufe of reafon, nor then neither. Locke. 
NEI'THER, pronoun. Not either; nor one nor other.— 
They lived with the friendfliip and equality of brethren, 
neither lord, neither Have to his brother; but independent 
of each other. Locke. 
Which of them lhall I take ?

If both remain alive. Shakefpeare's K. Lear.
