Note (R) — THE HISTORY OF Solyman the Magnificent, and Mustapha his Son.

Tunis, the Capital of a Country of the same name, is a large City, five Miles in circumference. It a noble Port on the Coast of Barbary, upon the Mediterranean, about eight Leagues from old Carthage, the Birth-place of the famous Hannibal. This City has had more Revolutions and Masters than any City in the Universe: but since 1570 it has remain’d in the possession of Kings of their own, till the Line was extinct; and is now govern’d by a Bey as a Commonwealth, under the Protection of the Turk.
