a forest in France, formerly of vast extent; but the trees are in many places grubbed up, and where they flood are built cities, towns, and abbeys. At present it extends from Thionville, near the country of Liege, to Donchery and Sedan, on the confines of Champagne. The roads are so narrow in some places, that two waggons cannot pass each other; and therefore the waggons are obliged to provide themselves with bells or horns to give one another notice to stop in time.
