a duchy of Germany, in the circle of Westphalia. It is bounded on the north by the duchy of Cleves, on the west by the county of Mark and the duchy of Westphalia, on the south by Wetteravia, and on the east by the diocese of Cologne, from which it is separated by the Rhine. It is about 150 miles in length, and 24 in breadth. It is very fruitful along the Rhine, but mountainous and woody towards the county of Mark. It is subject to the elector Palatine, but his right is disputed by Prussia and Saxony. The principal town is Düsseldorf; and the principal rivers, besides the Rhine, are the Wupper, Agger, and Sieg.

St Winox, a town of the Low Countries, in the country of Flanders, fortified by Vauban, and subject to France. It is seated on the river Colme, six miles from Dunkirk, and 21 from Ypres. The air is often very unwholesome, especially to strangers. It has an hospital for soldiers, taken care of by friars called Boni Fieux, and two seminaries for young students. The river Colme serves instead of a canal to go to Hondholt, St Omer's, and Gravelines. There is likewise another canal to go to Dunkirk. The villages in its territory are very famous for butter and cheese, of which they send a great quantity to Flanders. Fort Lapin and Fort Suffic are within a cannon's shot of this place, and Fort St Francis is seated on the canal, near three miles from the town. E. Long. 2. 35. N. Lat. 50. 7.
