Description

About the Book:-It has been deemed advisable so far to depart from the plan of this work, as to postpone the continuation of ‘Lives of the Moghul Emperors’. The more miscellaneous character of the present volume will, however, it is hoped, render it neither less useful nor less generally acceptable than the volumes which have preceded it. Among all the varieties of architecture in the East, few are so imposing, and none so solemn, as the monumental. Both Hindoos and Mohammedans have freely opened their treasures to cover with magnificent structures the ashes of their heroes, and frequently of their relatives. Millions have been lavished upon those proud monuments of departed greatness; which are noble, indeed, but melancholy memorials of the foul dust contained within their shrines, and of the dreadful process of decay which has taken place beneath their towering pinnacles and gorgeous domes. The book is the product of extensive study of these topics. It contains 22 engravings from drawings By William Daniell. Though the book is a rare one, it may be recognized even by those who dissent from the author’s views.
