by the side of the several roads that intersect 

 the seigniory. 



LiVAUDiERE (the seigniory of), in the 

 county of Hertford, lies behind Vincennes, and 

 is bounded by Beaumont and its augmentation 

 on the north-east, Mont-a-Peine on the south- 

 west, and in the rear by St. Gervais; it has 

 about three quarters of a league in front, by 

 three leagues in depth; granted September 

 gOth, 1734, to Sieur Pean de Livaudiere. 

 Upwards of one-third of this tract is in a very 

 high state of cultivation ; the soil, rich and 

 fertile, produces large crops of grain, and al- 

 most every article peculiar to the district ; the 

 surface is somewhat uneven, but not to such 

 a degree as to cause serious impediments to 

 agriculture, until approaching the rear boun- 

 daries, where the elevation is abrupt. There 

 is a great deal of beech, birch, and maple; 

 from the latter, considerable quantities of sugar 

 are made by the inhabitants every year. The 

 seigniory is well watered by the River Boyer, 

 each side of which presents some of the best 

 cultivated land in the different concessions: 

 towards the boundary of Vincennes there are 

 also many specimens of very good husbandry. 

 The church of St. Charles, and its parsonage, 

 are seated on the north-west bank of the Boyer.
