FOOTNOTES:

[99] Fatima-ool-Masoomah.

[100] This phrase is applied to those slaves acquired in wars with infidels.

[101] Tripoli in Syria: the Christians must have been some of the Crusaders.

[102] The same principle which subjects slaves to only half punishment for crimes, renders them liable to less suffering from the caprice of the man who marries them. The husband should, strictly speaking, only have the power to pronounce one divorce and a half on a slave: but the fraction puzzled the doctors of the law, and they have agreed it should be two divorces.
