[C]Timur, following the rôle of his ancestor, Genghiz, united numbers of the Asiatic Tatar tribes, and set forth upon long journeys of devastating conquest.

[J]Russia contains two rivers of this name; one flowing into the Gulf of Dwina, or Archangel, and one, more properly the Duna, between Livonia and Courland, flowing into the Gulf of Riga. The cities bearing the names of the gulfs are the ports, respectively, of each river.
