LXXIV. 



A Coolie Chieftain in Guzerat. 



The engraving is from a drawing of a chieftain, or head of the Coolies, 

 a tribe of robbers and pirates settled near the river Mihi, in Guzerat, who 

 are particularly mentioned in these Memoirs : the scene of their depreda- 

 tions is principally in the gulf of Cambay, and the navigation between 

 Surat and Bombay. 



LXXV. 



Specimen of the In/aid-work in the Taje Mahal at Agra. 



The Mausoleum called Taje Mahal, or the " Crown of the Seraglio," 

 at Agra, erected by the Emperor Shah Jehan, in memory of his favourite 

 Sultana Montazal Zumani, " Paragon of the Age," is so fully described 

 in the Memoirs, that it would be superfluous to add any thing further, 

 than that the plate exhibits a fac-simile of the ornaments inlaid in pre- 

 cious stones on the marble and alabaster of the tomb, for many hundred 

 feet. 



LXXVI. 



The Jumma Musjid, or Grand Mosque at Ahmedabad. 



The engraving is made from a drawing taken on the spot, of one of the 

 most magnificent buildings in Hindostan, still remaining in perfect re- 

 pair. The minars, or minarets, are uncommonly beautiful; and the 

 plate conveys a complete idea of this style of Mogul architecture.
