the most north-western province of Turkey in Europe, comprising Bosnia Proper, Turkish Croatia, and Herzegovina. It extends from Lat. 42° 30' to 45° 15' N. and from Long. 15° 40' to 21° 2' E., and is bounded on the north and west by the Austrian dominions, south by Montenegro and Albania, and east by Servia. Area estimated at 18,800 square miles; pop. (1844) 1,100,000. The whole province is mountainous, many of the summits reaching to the height of 6000 feet. From the nature of the soil, it is more appropriate for the breeding of cattle than the operations of the plough. The chief kind of cattle reared, are sheep in large flocks, some good horses and cows, with here and there a few buffaloes and goats. There are a few mines of copper; and formerly some of gold and silver were worked, especially a very celebrated one at Jlatnizza; but they are now neglected. Bosnia has some quarries of good marble; and at Tuzla is a very copious and strong spring of salt water, which is converted into culinary salt. The manufactures are of the domestic kind, and upon a small scale, including leather, cloth, and iron wares. Bosnia is under the government of a pasha of three tails, and is divided into six circles, and forty-eight smaller divisions.
