Editor's Notes
- Redrawing the Map of France, 1789–1791 Before 1789, France was divided into provinces named after the territories owned by dukes and counts in the Middle Ages. Many provinces had their own law codes and systems of taxation. Determined to install uniform administrations and laws for the entire country, the National Assembly divided the provinces into eighty-three departments, with names based on their geographical characteristics: for example, Seine-Inf, Seine-et-Oise, and Seine-et-Marne for areas containing the Seine River and Pyrénées-Orientales, Hte-Pyrénées, and Basses-Pyrénées for regions with the Pyrénées Mountains.
