Complication is a species of confederacy, which, while it continues united, bids defiance to the most active and vigorous intellect; but of which every member is separately weak, and which may therefore be quickly subdued if it can once be broken. JOHNSON. LONDON: PRINTED FOR BALDWIN, CRADOCK, AND JOY, PATERNOSTER ROW. ADVERTISEMENT. THE orthography of the Arabic words is chiefly taken from Mr. Jackson, who, from his long residence in Marocco, and great application to the subject, is, unquestionably, the most to be relied on.

As these were given orally to the traveller, the sound has, in many instances, been preserved according to the English language; and the orthography of the French, which would have altered the sound, has been sacrificed. The authorities are placed at the foot of a few of the pages, to give an idea of the trouble it would have occasioned to both writer and reader, had they been continued through five hundred editions of the alphabet. |
