Shire \Shire\, n. [AS. sc[c6]re, sc[c6]r, a division, province,       county. Cf. {Sheriff}.]       1. A portion of Great Britain originally under the             supervision of an earl; a territorial division, usually             identical with a county, but sometimes limited to a             smaller district; as, Wiltshire, Yorkshire, Richmondshire,             Hallamshire.                         An indefinite number of these hundreds make up a                      county or shire.                                 --Blackstone.          2. A division of a State, embracing several contiguous             townships; a county. [U. S.]          Note: Shire is commonly added to the specific designation of                a county as a part of its name; as, Yorkshire instead                of York shire, or the shire of York; Berkshire instead                of Berks shire. Such expressions as the county of                Yorkshire, which in a strict sense are tautological,                are used in England. In the United States the composite                word is sometimes the only name of a county; as,                Berkshire county, as it is called in Massachusetts,                instead of Berks county, as in Pensylvania.                            The Tyne, Tees, Humber, Wash, Yare, Stour, and                         Thames separate the counties of Northumberland,                         Durham, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, etc. --Encyc.                                                                               Brit.          {Knight of the shire}.
