ALBANIA, a province of Turkey in Europe, on the gulf of Venice, bounded by Livadia on the south, by Thessaly and Macedonia on the east, and on the north by Bosnia and Dalmatia. The people are strong, large, courageous, and good horsemen; but are said to be of a thievish disposition. The grand seignior procures excellent soldiers from hence, particularly cavalry, known by the name of Arnauts. There are several large towns in this province: and the inhabitants are almost all Christians of the Greek church, and descended from the ancient Scythians. Formerly it was part of the kingdom of Macedonia. Their chief manufacture is carpets. The principal places are Durazzo, Velona, Antivari, Scutari, Croya, Alessio, Dibra, Dolcigno, and Albanapoli. Long. from 19° to 22° E.; Lat. from 39° to 43° N. See ALBANIA, SUPPLEMENT.
