 from the juice, by a procefs fufficiently complicated. When 

 pure it is colourlefs. It has an acrid tafte, and the peculiar 

 fmell which dillinguiflies tobacco. It occalions violent 

 fneezing. It is foluble both in alcohol and water ; the 

 folutions are colourlefs, and difiinguiflied by the peculiar 

 tafte and fmell of nicotin. It is precipitated from its 

 folutions by tinfture of nutgalls. It is volatile, and fome- 

 what refembles in fliort the volatile oils in its properties. 

 It poflefles poifonous properties. See further in the Annales

NIGER. Add — It has been fuppofed that the Niger

 tained by feveral modern travellers, viz. Hornemann,

 confiftent with acknowledged fafts. The fuppofition 

 adopted by Mr. Park is, that the Niger terminates in tjie 

 river Congo, or, as it is fometimes called, the Zaire ; which 

 fee. Another fuppofition, refpecling the termination of the 

 Niger, is that of a German geographer, Mr. Reichard, 

 pubhflied in the " Ephemerides Geograpliiques," in Auguft 

 1 808, who reprefents the Niger, after reaching Wangara, as 

 feeking a direftion towards the fouth, and being joined by 

 other rivers from that part of Africa, taking a great 

 turn from thence towards the fouth-weft, and purfuing its 

 courfe until it approaches the nortli-eaftern extremity of 

 the gulf of Guinea, whence it divides and difcharges itfelf 

 by different channels into the Atlantic ; after having formed 

 a great Delta, of which the Rio del Rey conftitutes the 

 eftuary of the Rio Formofo, and Benin river the weftera 

 4 E 2 branch.
