The extent of Africa is enormous: 5000 miles in length, 4600 in breadth, it forms nearly a square of 13,430,000 square miles! the chief part solid ground; for we know of no Mediterranean to break its continuity no mighty reservoir for the waters of its hills and scarcely more than the Niger and the Nile for the means of penetrating any large portion of this huge continent.

Fraser's Report of the Botanical and other productions of the Colony. No. 430 contains an important Letter from the Colony.

They are much sought after in marriage, because of the title of cherif which they confer on their children. Ibid., p. 387. Duveyrier, op. cit., p. 430. Ibid., p. 362.
This celebrated temple was built by Ictinus and Callicrates, two Greek architects who flourished about B. C. 430. Ictinus was celebrated for the magnificent temples which he erected to the heathen gods.
