Elsewhere, proudly displayed to me was a solid silver table, made, the exhibitor told me, for the late Maharajah by his servants, who were greatly attached to him. Quite eight feet long, its pedestals were massive and ornate. Down the centre of it and across was an open space about six inches wide, filled with water, enclosing a crystal cylinder, which by means of some artifice revolved with realistic aquarium effect and revealed gold fish, all seemingly alive, coral, moss and pebbles. The libr...ary was another interest I daily availed myself of. The beautifully hand-painted volumes were a surprise. The chief of these is the Gulistan, 152 THE LAND OF REGRETS. which cost alone ten thousand pounds in its pro- duction. Pictures of dead-and-gone Rajahs, some fine sculptures and jewels, formed an exhaustive collection. The Toshakhana was the name of a great hall, the contents of which delighted me. Amongst the treasures was an emerald cup of great beauty, another was shown me of ruby, and I was allowed to sip water from each.
