is the name given by Edrifi to the kingdom of Bornou in Africa, of which the reader will find some account in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. In some particulars, however, that account is incorrect. The kingdom of Bornou or Kanem must extend farther east and farther north than it is there said to do; for according to the latest and best accounts, its capital stands in Lat. 24° 32' Long. 22° 57'. The empire is said to be very extensive; and if it be true, as we learn from the proceedings of the African Association, that its sovereign is more powerful than the Emperor of Morocco, the people cannot be such absolute brutes, as we have represented them in the article referred to; for the sovereignty of brutes would have no power. The truth, however is, that very little is yet known in Europe of Bornou or its inhabitants.
