. ENGLISH MARQUISSES. 
The title of Marquis is very ancient ; and, accord, 
ing to Hotoman, is derived from the German orTeuto- 
nic March-, dignifying-originally, “ Comes et prefect us 
liniitis.” InEngland, it implied the office of guarding 
the frontiers of the realm, which were called the marches-, 
i. e. “ limits ; ” fucll were, in particular, the marches ot 
Wales, and of. Scotland, while under diiiintt govern¬ 
ments, often hoftile to this country. The perfons who 
held this office were called lords marchers, or marquiffes. 
Their authority was aboliffied by ftatute 27 Henry VIII. 
c. 27. It was fir ft made a title of honour next in dig¬ 
nity to that of a duke, and immediately preceding that 
of an earl, by Richard II. in the eightli year of his reign.
