Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Algiers Being a Complete Picture of the Barbary States; Their Government, Laws, Religion, and Natural Productions; And Containing a Sketch of Their Various Revolutions, a Description of the Domestic Manners and Customs of the Moors, Arabs, and Turks The signal chastisement that has been inflicted on the Algerine Pirates, by the irresistible thunder of the British Navy, must be truly grateful to the feelings of Englishmen. Especially, when we recollect that Charles V. in the plenitude of his power, failed in an expedition against the city of Algiers; - that Louis XIV. was employed, for several years, in punishing the insolence, and reducing the power of these unprincipled Corsairs; - and that no other state ever extorted from them a Covenant for the perpetual abolition of Christian Slavery. This is the peculiar trophy of England, and will be long remembered to her honour. Of the Barbary States, which have insulted the flag of every nation, that could not either purchase or command their forbearance, - many curious and interesting descriptions are to be found in the volumes of various enlightened Travellers, both ancient and modern. From these, and other authentic sources, we shall be enabled to lay before our readers a comprehensive Survey of the Government Laws and Religion of Barbary the natural productions of this highly-favoured region - the domestic manners and customs of its inhabitants, the Moors, Arabs, and Turks - their mode of warfare - manner of treating their Christian Slaves (with instances of horrid cruelties, &c.) - and a faithful description of the four great capitals of Algiers, Tripoli, Tunis, and Morocco.
