minated fpahiclar aga. The aga of the Janiffaries is an 
officer of great importance. He is the only perfon who is 
allowed to appear before the Grand Seignior without his 
arms acrofs his bread in the podure of a Have. Eunuchs, 
at Condantinople are in poireffion of mod of the principal 
pods of the feraglio: the title aga is given to them all, 
whether in employment or out. This title is alfo given 
to all fuch men without employ, and efpecially to wealthy 
landholders. 
We find alfo agas in other countries. The chief offi¬ 
cers tinder the khan of Tartary are called by this name. 
And, among the Algerines, we read of agas chofen from 
among the bo/uk bafiis (the fird rank of military officers), 
and fent to govern in the chief towns and garrifons of that 
date. The aga of Algiers is the prefident of the divan or 
fenate. For fome years, the aga was the fuprente officer,, 
and governed the date in the place of bafhaw, whole pow¬ 
er dwindled to a ffiadovv. But the foldier.y riling againd

transferred the fovereign power to the calif, with the title 
of dey or king.

cottages are made of boughs, and are carried about from 
place to place on the back of oxen, to fix on the fpot where 
tiiey intend to feed their cattle. The houfes in the city 
are Lately, and built after the Barbary faffiion. This 
kingdom is well watered; and there is great plenty of grafs, 
cattle, fenna, and manna. The prevailing religion is the

nant of human feed, which remained in their mountains, 
peopled their country again fiowly, by little and little. 
Bacon. —On the other hand; marking fome oppofition or 
contrariety.—His wit increafed upon the occafion; and fo 
much the more, if the occafion were (harpened with dan 
ger. Again, whether it were the fhortnefs of his fore¬ 
fight, or the drength of his will, certain it is, that the 
perpetual trouble of his fortunes could not have been with¬ 
out defefts in Iris nature. Bacon. —On another part; mark¬ 
ing a traniition to fome new confideration: 
Behold yon mountain’s hoary height. 
Made higher with new mounts of Inow; 
Again, behold the winter’s weight 
Opprefs the lab’ring woods below. Drydcn. 
In return, noting re-aftion, or reciprocal aftion; as, His

thing; in recompence.—That he hath given will he pay 
again. Prov. xix. 27.—In order of rank or fucceffion; 
marking diftribution. Belides; in any other time or place, 
—They have the Walloons, who are tall foldiers; yet that 
is but a fpot of ground. But, on the other fide, there is 
not in the world again fuch a fpring and feminary of brave 
military people, as in England, Scotland, and Ireland, 
Bacon.— Twice as much; marking the fame quantity once 
repeated : 
There are whom heav’n has bled with (lore of wit. 
Yet want as much again to manage it; 
For wit and judgment ever are at drife, 
Tho’ meant each other’s aid, like man and wife. Pope.
