UKRAINE, a large country of Europe, bounded on the north by Poland and Muscovy, on the east by Muscovy, on the south by Tartary, and on the west by Moldavia. This province is one continued plain, interspersed with several fine rivers and agreeable forests. It is exceedingly fertile, and produces all the necessaries of life. The rivers swarm with all sorts of fish, and game is also very plenty. There are no brick buildings, all the houses being of wood after the Russian manner. It belongs to the Poles and Muscovites; but these last possess the greatest part. The people that now inhabit it are called Cossacks.
