Containing a description of Dehli and Agra, the Capital Cities of the Empire of the Great Mogol, together with various details illustrative of the Court Life and the Civilisation of the Mogols and the People of the Indies. MONSIEUR, I know that your first inquiries on my return to France will be respecting the capital cities of this empire. You will be anxious to learn if Dehli and Agra rival Paris in beauty, extent, and number of inhabitants. I hasten, therefore, to gratify your curiosity upon these points, and I may perhaps intersperse a few other matters which you will not find altogether uninteresting. - [Previous: 4.7.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.7.9) - [Next: 5.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.1.2) - [Up: 5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.1.1) · Pramāṇa
