“The most interesting nation of Africa, is the _Tuarick_. (Leo Afr. calls them _Terga_, طرجي.) They are in possession of all the country between Fezzan, Gadames, the empire of Morocco, Tombuctoo, Soudan, Burnu, and the country of the Tibbo. They are divided into several nations, of which the _Kolluvi_ in Asben, and the _Hagara_ near to Fezzan, are the chief. “Christians and tailed men, I suppose, never will be found in the interior of Africa. The Mahometans call _Nazari_ (which is properly the name for Christians) not the Christians only, but also every other people who are not of their religion.

Fortunately, however, the observations of Mr. Browne and others, enable me to derive more advantage from those of Mr. Horneman, than could have been obtained from them, alone.
