Excerpt from Narrative of a Journey Through the Upper Provinces of India, From Calcutta to Bombay, 1824-1825, (With Notes Upon Ceylon), Vol. 2 of 2: An Account of a Journey to Madras and the Southern Provinces, 1826, and Letters Written in India January 3. This morning early I sent off my tents and baggage to Fur reedabad, a little town about fifteen miles from Delhi, and in the afternoon followed them on horseback, escorted by five of Skinner's horse, and aecom panied by Mr. Lushington and Dr. Smith. We passed by humaio'on's tomb, and thence through a dreary country full of ruins, along a stony and broken road marked out at equal dis tances of about a mile and a half, by solid circularstone obelisks, coss-mi nars, erected during the prosperous times of the empire of Delhi. Half way to Furreedabad we passed the gi gantic ruins of Toghlikabad, on a hill about a coss to our right. I regretted that we could not see them nearer, but the stage was of sufficient length for our horses and the few remaining hours of daylight without this addition. Mr. Elliott described them as chiefly inte resting from their vast dimensions, and the bulk and weight of the stones em ployed in them. They were the work of Toghlou Khan, one of the early Pa tan sovereigns. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
