VIEW AT DELHI, NEAR THE MAUSOLEUM OF THE EMPEROR HUMAIOON.

The Mausoleum of the Emperor Humaioon is within the high wall to the left. This view consists principally of mausoleums, and the magnificent gateways that lead to the gardens in which they are placed. These buildings are of stone; the domes in general, and many other parts have been covered with porcelain tiles of various colours, ornamented with a great display of richness and elegance, of which many examples are still remaining.
