[Footnote 18: In his great History of the Huns, M. de
Guignes has most amply treated of Zingis Khan and his
successors. See tom. iii. l. xv. - xix., and in the
collateral articles of the Seljukians of Roum, tom. ii. l.
xi., the Carizmians, l. xiv., and the Mamalukes, tom. iv. l.
xxi.; consult likewise the tables of the 1st volume. He is
ever learned and accurate; yet I am only indebted to him for
a general view, and some passages of Abulfeda, which are
still latent in the Arabic text.]
