THE MODEL OF THE TAGE
MUHAL, NOW EXHIBITING AT THE COS-
MORAMA, REGENT-STREET.
111 •
/ Among the numerous exhibitions of the metropolis,
.--: there is none more worthy of notice than the ivory model
y, of the Tage Muhal, now exhibiting in Regent-street. It
tairo.; , is made of solid ivory, and is an exact model of the original,
which is one of the wonders of modern India. Bishop Heber,
in his " Journal," speaking of the Tage Muhal, says
• •'1 , 44
I went to see the celebrated Tage Muhal, of which it
is enough to say, that, after hearing its praises ever since
I had been in India, its beauty rather exceeded than fell
short of my expectations." This magnificent and beau-
tiful edifice is situated about three miles from Agra, on
the banks of the Jumna, and is built entirely of
• white • marble. It occupies a space of one hundred
yards square, and is crowned by a dome which rises to
the height of 150 feet. The•building itself is raised on
11 terrace of white marble, from the angles of which rise
:four lofty minarets. It was erected about A.D. 1650. by
Khan Shah Jehan, the sth Great Mogul, as the eeme- '
tery of his favourite wife Soltana Mehd Aliya, the niece
of Nur Jehan, his mother- in-law. This mausoleum, the
finest in the world, cosy •60 lacs of rupees, or 750,000/.
It contains a central hall, within which are the tombs
of the-empress and of Emperor Shah Jehan himself ;
and around this hall are several smaller apartments and
corridors. The founder of this magnificent mausoleum
Was one of the most talented, and at the same time one of
4, the most unfortunate, of the Sovereigns of India. Of his
14,
,•affection for his wife this mausoleum, erected by him for
her last resting place, was a sufficient proof ; and he was
, equallyremarkable for his affection for his children.
t;t7 Ao sooner had his three sons attained to years of maturity
than he bestowed on each 'the government of a province.
Iris youngest son was the celebrated and infamous Au-
. ..rangzebe. He was the favourite of Shah Jehan, and
It; after endeavouring to incite his brothers •to treason
• .
• agamst their father, in order to betray them
4,• „ and to obtain possession of their territories, in which
he was but too successful, he, having deStroyed his
7` brothers, turned his arms against his parent, and the
0. L. aged Monarch spent the last ten years of his life in a
prison, to which his ungrateful son had doomed him. At
•„) his death his remains were deposited in the Tage Muhal
his
the side of his favourite wife. The model,
Which took).welve years in making, and which was
originally intended for the late Marquis of Hastings, is
one of the most beautiful specimens of Indian ingenuity
ever exhibited ; and no one who takes an interest in
India, its history, its architecture, or its antiquities,
should omit paying a visit to the Cosmorama to inspect it.

the weather at Gibraltar being so bad as to render it

the refusal of the local authorities to permit the vessel to
enter the new mole for that purpose, she being under
