a province of Spain, bounded on the north and west by the ocean, on the south by Portugal, and on the east by Asturias and the kingdom of Leon. The air is temperate along the coast; but, in other places, it is cold and moist. It is but thinly peopled; and the produce is wine, flax, and citrons: the soil is unequal, but affords good pasture. St Jago di Compostella is the capital town.

GALILEE, once a province of Judea, now of Turkey in Asia, was bounded by Mount Lebanon on the north, by the river Jordan and the sea of Galilee on the east, by the Chison on the south, and by the Mediterranean on the west. It was the scene of many of our Saviour's miracles; but the bounds of the country are not now well known, nor yet the places where many of the towns stood.
