# can't swear to know the 100% accuracy on this point,
but I believe you include both, the Esq. on
its own is used to replace 'Mr.' as a prefix,
and was generally used for those of higher social standing
when first introduced.
Its often used now for addressing social groups,
a particular example being the Freemasons,
which is how I know it's useage

# any chap can use it after his name,
its been mauled about through the language and it's useage a lot
over the past few years, but it's now
accepted that anyone can use Esq. after
their name if they so wish, as opposed to using 'Mr'

# Esquire merely means that the bearer owns his own land.
Thus Mr Harrison Esq. is correct, whereas Johnson Esq. is wrong - Johnson is pennyless Northern scum.
