Chap. II.
GHAZNI.
1 9
cities are examined and photographed by some one competent
to discriminate between what is good or bad, or old or new
we must be content merely to indicate the position of the
style, leaving this chapter to be written when the requisite
information shall have been obtained. In the meanwhile it is
satisfactory to know that between Herat and the Indus there
do exist a sufficient number of monuments to enable us to
connect the styles of the West with those in the East. They
have been casually described by travellers, but not in such a
manner as to render them available for our purposes; and in
the unsettled state of the country it may be some time yet
before their elucidation can be accomplished.
