Ghazipoor is an important place, and is remarkable at a distance for its handsome ghauts.

Here stands a pretty monument erected to the memory of Lord Cornwallis, who conquered Tippoo Saib in 1790.

Very near is a large establishment for training horses, which is said to turn out remarkably fine ones.
But Ghazipoor is most remarkable for its enormous rose-fields, and the rose-water and attar prepared here.

The latter is obtained in the following manner:-- Upon forty pounds of roses, with the calixes, sixty pounds of water are poured, and the whole is distilled over a slow fire.
