fquare periftyle of columns, with diverging bafes, and capitals 

 curioufly carved ; the cohimns are ribbed, and near their tops 

 dovibly fafciated : within is the apartment of retreat from the 

 heat. On each front are rows of fquare doors, and above each 

 a window obtufely arched. Over the columns in every front 

 hangs a fhort roof, above is a parapet, the lower part moft 

 beautifully carved, and above that worked into matchlefs fil- 

 lagree. At a fraall diilance from this is another fquare low 

 building, with a fliort roof limilar to the former, furmounted 

 with its fillagree parapet ; this furrounds a terrafs for the be- 

 nefit of the cool air. In the centre had been a marble building, 

 which the nabob ftupidly removed to ornament his Hummmn or 

 bath at Oude. At each corner of this terrafs ftands a miniature 

 pavilion, fquare, with the four fides clofed with fillagree of a 

 moft charming pattern ; there is an overhanging roof, the fum- 

 mit rifes fquare, and finilhes into a neat point. This building is 

 certainly the chef d'oeuvre of Indian architedture, an uncom- 

 mon exhibition of fillagree in ftone. The area in which it 

 ftands is protedted with a handfome wall, againft which feem 

 to be cazerns, and over certain parts appear plain edifices, with 

 common bell-fliaped cupolas, fupported by a few plain pillars. 

 Mr. Daniell gw&s this in his Vlllth plate, a mofl delightful proof
