CORSAIR (through the Fr. from the Med. Lat. _cursarius_, a pirate;
_cursus_, or _cursa_, from _currere_, to run, being Late Latin for a
plundering foray), the name given by the Mediterranean peoples to the
privateers of the Barbary coast who plundered the shipping of Christian

their respective governments, but the word came to be synonymous, in
English, with "pirate." The French word _corsaire_ is still used for
"privateer," and _guerre de course_ is applied to the use in naval
warfare of "commerce-destroyers." (See PIRATE, BARBARY PIRATES and
PRIVATEER.)

department of France. It is situated immediately to the north of
Sardinia (from which it is separated by the narrow strait of Bonifacio),
between 41 deg. 21' and 43 deg. N. and 8 deg. 30' and 9 deg. 30' E.
Area, 3367 sq.m. Pop. (1906) 291,160. Corsica lies within 54 m. W. of

diverge in all directions from this main range, enclosing small basins
both geographically and socially isolated; on
