- (In) no way, (in) no manner; not at all.
“To raise the Sham-Noblest, and solemnly consecrate him by whatever method, new-devised, or slavishly adhered to from old wont, this, little as we may regard it, is, in all times and countries, a practical blasphemy, and Nature will in nowise forget it. Alas, there lies the origin, the fatal necessity, of modern Democracy everywhere.”
“But that did in nowise mend the matter, or at all soften the hard heart of the learned gentleman with the copy of Blackstone.”
