much the fame. From that Hall you enter into the other part of the Gar- 
den, and recover the great Walk or Alley again, which is continued in a 
ftreight line through the Hall : There you have the Canal and Sheets of Wa- 
ter in the fame manner as in the other, ftve that in this part the bafons are 
above the fheets of water, whereas in the former they are under' them. 
Having mounted the fixth ftory you'll find an odogone Bafon of the fame 
bignefs as the former, with a Di'van or Kiosk on each hand. After you have 
afcended three flories more, you pafs over a Canal three fathom broad, which 
runs crofs all the Walks of the Garden that are parallel to this, as the other 
does which is at the other end : A little farther, you find a bafbn before a 
building much of the fame contrivance as the others are, which puts an end 
to the Walk and the length of the Garden. 
AH thefe Waters come from the River of Senderu, by Chanels that divert 
them three or four Leagues above the City, which having watered and em- 
bellifhed this Garden, run and lofe themfelves in the Fields. Many fuch Cha- 
nels are drawn from this River above the City, for watering the Gardens, 
which (ifherwife would be barren : For befides that the Wells could not fur- 
nifh a fufficient quantity of water; their water is not fo good as that of the 
River, which is made very fat by the grounds that it runs through. Every 
day is appointed for giving Water to a certain quarter, and every Garden 
is taxed to pay thirty, forty, or (ixty Abajfis a year, more or lefs according 
to its bignei's, for the water once a week. None of thefe Canals return to 
the River, but lofe themfelves in the Fields ; which makes the River to be 
much lelTened when it comes to the City, fb that having run thorough it, 
at a little difiancefarther,it lofes itfèlf alfo in the Fields. 
The Terfimis are focarefullto have water for their grounds, that in many The care of 
places they make Aqueduds under ground, which bring it from a far, nay, the Perjîans 
and that many Leagues off. They make them almoft two fathom high, and having 
arch them over with Brick: In making of them they digg at every twenty VVater. 
paces diftance or thereabouts, and make large holes like wells, in which they 
go down and fo carry on the Aquedudt, becaufe they cannot continue in go- 
ing on fb far under ground ; and thefe Aqueduds cofl a great deal of money. 
Although the Garden I have been defcribing is fb magnificent,yet you muft 
not imagine to find fiich lovely Grafs-plats and borders of Flowers as are in 
F.urofe : There you have onely young Fruit-trees in great numbers, with 
great Plane-Trees, planted in a row, which are the ornament of it ; fo that in The fruits of 
fruit-Seafbn k is very pleafant walking there, and fince for a little money all He:{ar'dgmb. 
are welcom, one may eat as many as he pleafes. There is plenty alfb of Rofe 
Eufhes there,andtheGardiners make money of their Rofes. This Garden is the 
Kings, fo are one half of thoib oï Tcheharbag-^ the reft belong to C/^^w/, and 
thefe Gardens are almofl all of the fame contrivance ; ( that's to fay,) that their 
beauty confifîs in long ftreight walks, and abundance of Fruit- trees, Rofe- 
bufhes and Plane-Trees, which yield them a confiderable revenue, and there- 
fore they are well kept ; fo that when I went to the Garden of Hez,ardgenb, 
I faw 3, great many People at work in levelling the walks, which had been 
fpoilt by the Rain and Snow. 
There is no Burying-place in Ifpaha?}, but they areall without the City, Buryin<T-pia^ 
fo as all over Per/^ and the Levant. ' ces.
