Pays D' Lection (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A pays d' lection was a g n ralit, in fiscal and financial matters, in France under the Ancien R gime. The representative of the royal government, the intendant, split up the imp ts in such an area at a local level with the aid of the lus (who were for a long time elected by the States-General, hence the name of their office and of pays d' lection-from 1614 to 1789 the States-General did not meet and the king thus named an intendant for this role, though the areas retained the name pays d' lection).
