ARMAGNAC, formerly a province of Guicenne in France, which with Gascony now forms the department of Gers, is 55 miles in length and 40 in breadth; bounded on the east by the river Garonne, on the south by Bigorre and Bearn, on the west by Gascony, and on the north by Condomois and Agenois. Auch is the capital town. It is fertile in corn and wine, and carries on a considerable trade in brandy, wool, and bonchretin pears, which are excellent.
