a small duchy of Lower Silesia, in Germany, lying between those of Wolaw, Olffe, Brieg, Schwednitz, and Lignitz. It is everywhere level and flat; is an excellent corn country, yielding also good pasture; abounding also with herds of cattle and flocks of sheep; but destitute of wood, except in one district or circle; and the roads in general are very bad. It is an immediate principality, that is, one of which both the property and jurisdiction belong to the king, forming a part of one of the three bailiwicks into which all the immediate principalities are divided.
