LANGUEDOC was, previously to the revolution, the name of a large province of France, two hundred and twenty miles in length, by one hundred and twenty in breadth. It was divided into Upper and Lower Languedoc, Toulouse being the capital of the former, and Montpellier, so celebrated for the salubrity of its climate, the capital of the latter. Languedoc is now divided into the departments of Gard, Hérault, Ardèche, Lozère, Tarn, Upper Garonne, Aude, and Upper Laine. These will be found described in their regular alphabetical order.
