[p.16] Palace of Furreed Baksh
In my ramble this morning I saw the elephant carriages of his majesty-strange.looking machines-and, though handsomely finished, only fit for a display in a procession,. where one of them is drawn by four elephants, and another by two of these noble animals. Near to the carriages I saw seven animals of the rhinoceros kind. This is a very ugly beast, smaller than the elephant, with a little horn on the nose, and the skin in folds.
