ENOS, fi'nos (anc. /Enus). A seaport of European Turkey, in the Province of Adrianople, situated on a rocky isthmus near the mouth of the Maritza, about 80 miles south-southwest of Adrianople (Map: Turkey in Europe, F 4). Its harbor is commodious, but much neglected, and too shallow for deep-sea vessels. The trade, for- merly of importance, has greatly decreased, Enos having been superseded as an export centre by the adjacent seaport of Dedeagatch (q.v. ). The town is the see of a Greek archbishop. Population, estimated at 0000-7000, principally Greeks. Homer attests the antiquity of Enos by alluding to it in the Iliad (iv. 519). ENRIQUEZ GOMEZ, en-re'ketb go'meth, Antonio, properly Enriquez de Paz (c.1000?). A Spanish dramatist born at Segovia, the son of a baptized Portuguese Jew*. He entered the army and had attained the rank of captain, when in 1030 he was obliged to flee, to escape the Inquisition, and settled in Amsterdam, where he afterwards openly professed the Jewish faith. He was consequently burned in effigy by the Catholics of Seville. Before leaving Spain Enriquez had al- ready acquired a reputation as a dramatic poet. According to his own statement, he wrote twenty- two comedies, of which A lo que obliga el honor has been regarded as the best. His other writ- ings include La culpa del primer peregrino (1044), a mystic theological poem; El siglo pitagorico (1647), a series of satirical portraits, in mingled prose and verse; and El Samson Xazareno (1656), an abortive epic. ENROLLMENT. Entry upon official or pub- lic register or record. In English law it is the registering or entering of any lawful act, as a recognizance, deed of bargain and sale, and the like, on the rolls of chancery, the common-law courts, or by the clerk of the peace on the rec- ords of the Court of Quarter Sessions. The Statute of Enrollments, enacted by Parliament in the twenty-seventh year of Henry VIII. ( 1536), as an addendum to the more famous Statute of Uses (1535), was a deliberate attempt to prevent the practice, to which the latter statute opened the way, of making secret conveyances of free- hold lands by the process known as bargain and sale. Jt provided that no such conveyance should be valid unless it was enrolled, or re- corded, within six months of its date, in one of the King's courts of record at Westminster or in the county in which the lands were situated. The manner in which this statute was evaded, by the invention of the method of conveyance called lease and release, is explained in the articles on Bargain and Sale; Lease and Release. See also Conveyance ; Registration ; Recording. In the United States the term enrollment is employed with reference to vessels engaged in the coasting and home trade, which are enrolled, while those employed in foreign trade are regis- '• red; and the words registration and enrollment are used to distinguish the certificates to those two classes of vessels. Enrollment applies only to the vessels engaged in domestic commerce, and in voyages along the coast or in inland watei ENSCHEDE, en-8Ka'de. A town in the Neth- erlands, situated about four miles from the Ger- man frontier and 30 mill's cast-northeast of Zutphen (Map: Netherlands, E 2). The princi- pal industries arc yarn-spinning and calico- printing. Over half the lowii was destroyed by lire in 1862, but it has since been rebuilt. Popu- lation, in 1889, 15,229; in 1899, 24,353. ENSCHEDE, en-sKa-da', JOHANNES (1708- 80). A Dutch printer, lie was born in lla.n lem, and educated in Leyden. As the head of the printing establishment founded by his father, Isaac Enschedg, he contributed greatly to the art of printing in his day. He introduced the type known as Holland Gothic. The first m portant specimen of printing-types was issued from his establishment in 1768 under the title Proef van Lettern. The firm Johannes Enschedg en Zonen still exists in Haarlem. ENSEMBLE, iiN'siiN'bl' (Fr., entirely). The general effect produced by the whole figures or objects in a picture, the persons and plot of a drama, or the various parts of a musical per- formance. ENSIGN (OF. ensigne, enseigne, ML. insigne, Lat. insigne, banner, from in, in + signum, sign). The national flag. In most foreign navies the man-of-war and merchant ensigns are different. In Great Britain the naval ensign has a white field, the naval reserve ensign a blue field, and the merchant ensign a red field. (See Flag.) Kiisign is the title of officers of the United States Navy of the lowest commissioned rank. Midship- men are commissioned as ensigns upon final graduation. After service of three years as en- signs, all of which must be at sea, officers are promoted to the rank of lieutenant of the junior grade without regard to vacancies, but the total number of both grades is fixed by law at 350. In military usage the title of ensign was for- merly applied to the lowest commissioned rank in the British Army. It also existed in the Colonial militia of New England and in the Revolutionary Army of the United States. En- signs were charged with the duty of carrying the regimental colors. The colors of a regiment in a sense stood for the regiment itself, em- bodying its history, and always marking its headquarters. Officers and men were alike edu- cated in their traditions, and taught to regard them with so much reverence and affection, that in return they frequently defended them with the utmost devotion and sacrifice. Modern- strategy and battle dispositions render impossible their further use, the title of ensign having al- ready been abolished in 1871 in the British Army and the rank of second lieutenant substituted.
