natural relations, whether the head of a bone efcapes from 
a cavity deftined for its reception, or whether the furfaces 
of the joint ceafe to correfpond properly one to the other. 
A luxation is termed complete, when the furfaces of the 
joint are totally feparated ; incomplete, when they remain 
partially in contaft, though in a (late of difplacement 
with refpeft to each other. Like fraftures, diftocations 
are alfo divided into fimple and compound-, (imple, when 
there is no external wound communicating with the joint; 
compound, when the cafe is conjoined with fuch an acci¬ 
dent. Other general differences of luxations depend upon 
the articulation in which they take place; the direction 
in which the bone is difplaced ; the length of time the ac¬ 
cident has continued; the cauie that has produced it, &c.

LUX'EMBURG, formerly a duchy of Germany, and 
one of the provinces of the Netherlands ; bounded on the 
north by the bifliopric of Liege and duchies of Limburg 
and Juiiers, on the eaft by the eleftorate of Treves, and 
on the fouth and weft by France. It lies in the centre of 
the forelt of Ardennes. Its foil is not very fertile, but it 
produces fomecorn; and the country has other advantages 
belonging to it, as, namely, a good breed of cattle, wine, 
and all forts of game, with feveral kinds of metals, and 
particularly many iron-works, and founderies for cannon, 
which laft conftituteits greateft riches. It is watered alfo 
by many fmall rivers, the principal of which are the Ourr, 
the Seinois, the Lafs, and the Chiers, which difeharge 
themfelves into the Meufe, with feveral others which flow 
into the Mofelle. The Meufe wadies this duchy on tlift 
weft, and the Mofelle runs through a part of it to the 
fouth-eaft. In the whole duchy, exclufive of the princi¬ 
pal town, (Luxemburg,) are twenty-three fmaller ones. 
Charles IV. emperor of the Romans, raifed the county of 
Luxemburg, in the year 1354., to a duchy; but, he dying 
without heirs, it came by virtue of his teftament to Wen¬ 
zel, king of the Romans and Bohemia, who lucceeded 
him; and who, by W’ay of mortgage, ceded to the 
princefs Elizabeth, daughter to his brother John of Lux¬ 
emburg, and duke of Gorlitz, (who was firft married to 
Anthony duke of Burgundy, and afterwards to John of 
Bavaria,) this duchy in lieu of the dowry of j 20,000 
Rhenidt florins which he had promifed to give her. In 
the year 144.4., this princefs ceded all her right in the du¬ 
chy of Luxemburg to Philip the Good,duke of Burgundy. 
Afterwards this duchy underwent the fame fate with the 
other provinces of the Netherlands. By the peace of the 
Pyrennees in 1659, France obtained a part thereof: the pare 
ceded to France at that time included the diftricts and 
towns of Thionville, Montmedy, Marville, Chevancy, Ca» 
rignan, and Damvilliers; hut, during the late war, the 
whole fubmitted to the French republic ; and, by a much 
later treaty, it was formally annexed to the French empire, 
and became a part of the Department of the Forests, 
which fee, vol. vii. p. 568.—This country will certainly 
not now remain with its late conquerors, neither will it 
be reftored to its former owners ; but will probably form 
a part of the new kingdom of Belgium. 
LUXEMBURG, capital of the above province. From 
being anciently only a caftle, built by the people of Trevesj 
it was afterwards enlarged by the Romans, who gave it 
the name of Augufta Romanorum. When Merovinus king 
of France conquered the country, it changed its name, 
and was called Lucis Burgum , i. e. The City of the Sun, 
becaufe the Sun was anciently adored there, as the Moon 
was at Arlon, Jupiter at Ivoy, now called Carignan, and 
Mars at Marche en Famine. The city of Luxemburg is
