terror of Selim’s many victories now spreading wide, the kings of
Afric bordering upon Cyrenaica, sent their ambassadors with prof-
fers to become his tributaries. Other more remote nations also
towards Ethiopia were easily induced to join in amity with the
Turks.” At this present time also many places in Africa besides
Egypt, as Algiers, Tunis, &c. are under the dominion of the Turks.
