Yet is this country accounted by geogra- phers no part of Terra Nigritarum, and Ptolemy placeth therein the Leuco-jEthiopes, or pale and tawny Moors.
Now the ground of this opinion might be the visible qua- lity of blackness observably produced by heat, fire and smoke ; but especially with the ancients the violent esteem they h...eld of the heat of the sun, in the hot or torrid zone ; Digitized by Google CHAP.
