NOTES

TO VOLUME THE FOURTH.

(a) P. 128. Such is the simple mode of salutation between the Molgolgues (a nation of North America) and the wanderers whom chance conducts to their huts.

(b) P. 219. Ismael was taken by Suvaroff, who from the cruelties he committed there, obtained the name of Muley Ismael.

(c) P. 220. There is nothing more easy in Turkey than to be made a Jhen-gin-cheri, or new Janissary; according to Habesci, instead of recruiting parties going into the towns and villages to enlist the most robust and comely youths, they will receive any person into the corps of Janissaries; christians, jews, or heathens are accepted by the officers on the recruiting service, if they have but the appearance of youth and strength.

(d) P. 256. The simple and beautiful air here alluded to, is popular among the modern athenians; and has been introduced into England by a gentleman whose classic researches have considerably added to the stock of elegant and liberal information.

(e) P. 289. It is to the society of women, (says Tacitus) that the germans owed their courage in the combat, and their successes in the council.
