To the east lay the department of 'Meuse Infrieure,' with Maestricht for its capital.
Bergen is the heart, of Holland, key of the Scheld, and quite otherwise important than Maestricht.
Maestricht is a city of the Netherlands, built on the banks of the Meuse.
Such remains are chiefly met with in the soft freestone, the principal member of the Maestricht beds.
The district of Maestricht was likewise partitioned, but the fortress remained Dutch.
