To the left of the Khas Mahall extends a faery pavilion, between whose columns our travellers catch a glimpse of the Eiver flowing far below. This pavilion, like the Khas THE CITY OF AKBAK. 237 Mahall, is built of richly sculptured and snow-white marble, and is roofed with gilded plates of copper, which flash and burn in the sunlight. Other buildings there are, each more lovely than the rest. The brilliance of the sunlit surfaces, the soft coolness of the shadows, the mystery of the reflected l...ights, the contrasting splendour of the golden roofs, methinks the palaces of Fairyland could scarcely equal. Turning to the left, the visitors make their way to the north side of the garden, and thence enter the Shish Mahall, the Palace of Glass, which is the most fantastic bathing-place they have ever seen. Ceilings and walls are all lined with numberless tiny mirrors, divided only by the mazy lines of intricate and graceful arabesques delicately wrought in stucco. No daylight can enter, and there is nothing to mar the extraordinary effect of the torch which our travellers carry, and the light whereof is thrown back from every- where in multitudinous twinkling reflections.
