i6Q TRAVELS TO THE EAST. 
The 2! ft, I viewed the aquaedufts of the town, 
an ancient work, and the nobleft that has been pr e ' 
ferved, The water has been by them conveyed 
twelve miles from the hills into the town, and is by 
pipes carried to every part of it, which is not un- 
common in thofe places of the Eaft, where there are 
no refervpirs. Near the town there is fomething 
curious in this aquajduft. It runs on walls through 
great part of the town gardens, and has on each 
fide a grove, of all the different forts of trees to be 
found here. In fome places the channel is open, 
but for the moft part covered ; in a few places arc 
openings on both fides, through which the watef 
runs to the gardens, making pretty cafcades, whi cl1 
have an agreeable effeft amongft the green trees?
