a late province of France, bounded on the south and west by Champagne and Burgundy; on the north by Lorraine; and to the east by the earldom of Mumplegard, and Switzerland. It is in length from north to south about 30 leagues; in breadth about 20. It is partly flat and partly hilly. The flat country is fruitful in grain, wine, hemp, and pasture; and the hilly country abounds in cattle, producing also some wine and corn, copper, lead, iron, and silver ores, mineral waters, and quarries of stone, marble, and alabaster. It now forms the three departments of Doubs, Jura, and Upper Saone.
