THe Kingdom of Agadez being more Easterly than that of Gualata, * 1.1 stretches its Limits to the North. The Metropolitan thereof also call'd Agadez, stands upon the Confines of Lybia, the nearest place to the White People (except Gualata) of all Negro-Land.
This Countrey abounds with much Meadow-Land, having store of Springs and Grass; it also yields much Manna, which is not onely their common and
best Food, but makes them a most excellent and cordial Drink; which toge∣ther keeps them in good condition, always strong and healthy: Yet they want no store of Cattel nor Goats. The Agazons for the most part are Strangers, settling there their Staples of Merchandise, trading to Forreign Countreys: The Natives are Artificers, or Souldiers; but the Southern People follow Pasturage, breeding Cattel and Goats; their Receptacles are sleight Arbours of implicated Boughs, like the Arabs, or Mats, with which they rove up and down. Those of the Lybick Desarts insult over the Kings of Agadez; and though they are Tributary to the people of Tombut, where they might com∣plain, yet they carry so high a hand over them, that they supplant and plant the Royal Throne, deposing and establishing whom they please, being com∣monly in such Removals, one of their Favorites or nearest Relations.
The Kingdom of Aga∣dez.
