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