To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Plastic art also has been em- . ployed in these monuments, ^^ ^_^,^^jr but without attaining to any Fig. 55. Temple of Payach. special importauce.
2. NEPAL, JAVA, AND PEGU.
The other lands of this extensive region of civilisation are chiefly, or even exclusively, under the influence of Buddhist ideas. Among them we may name, in the first place, the moun- tainous country of Nepal, lying in the north of Hindostan, and stretching away close under the loftiest snow peaks of the Himalaya. Here the B...uddhist Dagop is developed into a vast detached building, combining, amid much fantastic decoration, the rich and varied forms of Indian architecture, with bold tower- like slenderness. Especially the temple, which we shall here designate exclusively as Chaitja, presents a splendid instance of this form, with its richly decorated substructure, wall-niches, and slender-pointed cupolas. Still more ornamented, and inclining towards the Chinese style of architecture, are the cloister-like Vihiras. The most conspicuous monument of this class seems to be the great temple of the capital Kathmandu.
