[C] Timur, following the rôle of his ancestor, Genghiz, united numbers of the Asiatic Tatar tribes, and set forth upon long journeys of devastating conquest. At thirty-five he could call all the desirable Asiatic world, including India, Turkey, and Egypt, his own. He held royal, orientally gorgeous state at Samarkand, his capital, the most magnificent city of Central Asia. Its inhabitants numbered a hundred and fifty thousand, many of whom were educated in its forty colleges, seats of Mohammedan learning. In one of its colleges were bred continually a thousand students. Timur’s title was, “The Commander of the World.” He restored, though but transiently, the empire of Genghiz. His disregard of human life and his cruelty may be inferred from his slaughter of a hundred thousand captives on his march to Delhi, and from the ninety thousand corpses piled in the market-places of Bagdad, after his entrance into that city. [D] See THE CHAUTAUQUAN for April, p. 366, col. 2. [E] This word is derived from an old Russian one, meaning firestone: a name happily conveying the ideas of the hearth and of a fortress. The elevation crowned by the Kreml, or Kremlin, is composed of a flinty rock. The term signifies an enclosure, enclosed in stone; though the first enclosures were of wood. [F] On the crest of one of its peaks is a stone marked on the one side Europe, on the other, Asia. [G] See THE CHAUTAUQUAN for March, 1883, p. 303, col. 2. [H] See THE CHAUTAUQUAN for April, p. 365, c. 2. [I] See THE CHAUTAUQUAN for May, p. 428, col. 2. [J] Russia contains two rivers of this name; one flowing into the Gulf of Dwina, or Archangel, and one, more properly the Duna, between Livonia and Courland, flowing into the Gulf of Riga. The cities bearing the names of the gulfs are the ports, respectively, of each river. [K] “Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.”—ROMANS, xii: 11.
