Some readers, probably may express surprise, that I have said nothing of the political history of the country; but this I have reserved for a future publication should the present one meet with the approbation of the public. FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 3: The Right Hon. the Earl of Moira.] [Footnote 4: There is a small volume translated from the French of the Abbé Poiret, entitled, Travels through Barbary in a series of letters, written from the Ancient Numidia, in the years 1785 and 1786, which contains many judicious observations. The Abbé was doubtless a man of penetration, and understood the character of the people whom he described.] [Footnote 5: There is an interesting and, I believe, a very faithful account of an embassy from Queen Elizabeth to Muley Abd El Melk, Emperor of Marocco in 1577, in the Gentleman’s Mag. September 1810, page 219, in which the reader may correct the following errors of the press: for Elchies, r. _Alkaids_; for lintals, r. _quintals_.] [Footnote 6: See Parke’s Travels, 4to. edit. page 141.] LIST OF PLATES, &c. * * * * * Page 1.
