JULIERS, a duchy in the circle of Westphalia, in
Germany, seated between the rivers Maese and Rhine,
and bounded by Prussian Guelderland on the north,
by the electorate of Triers on the south, by the elec-
torate of Cologne on the east, and by the Nether-
lands on the west. It is about 60 miles long, and 30
broad; and is a very plentiful country, abounding
in cattle, corn, and fine meadows, and is well supplied
with wood; but it is most remarkable for a fine breed
of horses, and wood for dying, which is gathered here
in abundance. The chief towns are Juliers, Aix-la-
Chapelle, Duren, Munster-Eifel, Bedbur, Wein-
burgh, and Lasieren. It is subject to the elector Pa-
latine, with the consent of the kings of Prussia and
Poland.
