possessed it At the time when she made the

France gives up one part Of L. to Spain

her part to Spain. When Spain, therefore.
re rocedes to France. she gives IN, or back
again, to France, what Fran ce had once Civ.

But when she adds, {" as France held it,
there can be no question. hat the whole of
