     * India.
       The Hebrew word {Hoddo,} in Syriac, {Hendoo,} and in Arabic,
       {Hind,} is rendered India by all the versions.  India, or
       Hindostan, is a large country of the south of Asia, extending
       from north to south about 2,400; miles, and from east to west
       1,800, between 8; degrees and 35; degrees N. lat. and 68; degrees
       and 92; degrees E. long.; being bounded on the west by the
       Indus, east by the Birman empire and Thibet, north by the
       Indian Caucasus, and south by the Indian Ocean.  It is
       probable, however, that all the country east of the Indus was
       anciently called India.

     * and according.
