KUL, or Kool,/ A Turkifli term, probably fignify- 
ing a flave or fervant. Meninlky tells us, the name is 
given to all the foldiers in the Ottoman empire, particu¬ 
larly to thofe of the grand fignior’s guard, and the in¬ 
fantry. The captains of the infantry, and thefe who 
command the guards, are called kul zabytiers, and the fol¬ 
diers of the guard kapu kulleri, i. e. flaves of the court. 
Others inform us, that all who hold any places depending 
on the crown, or receive wages from it, in a word, all 
who are, in any meafure, the grand fignior’s fervants, 
take the title of kul, or /tool, i. e. flave, as more creditable 
than that of fubjeft; even the grand vizir and the bafliaws 
value themfelves upon it. A kul, or flave, of the grand 
flgnior, has authority to abufe any who are only his fer¬ 
vants ; but a fubjefr, who fhould affront a kul, or flave, 
would be feverely punifhed. The kuls are entirely de¬ 
voted to the will of the grand flgnior, and look on it as a 
kind of martyrdom, that merits heaven, when they die 
either by his order, or in the execution of his commands.
