a large and handsome town of Picardy in France, and capital of the Boulognois, with a harbour, and a bishop's see. It is divided into two towns; the higher, and the lower. The former is strong both by nature and art; and the latter is only surrounded with a single wall. The harbour has a mole for the safety of the ships, which at the same time prevents it from being choked up. The lower town is inhabited by merchants, and has three large streets, one of which leads to the high town, and the other two run in a line on the side of the river. Many of the English and Scots reside here, who, from a rebellion, or any other cause, are obliged to fly from their native country.
