The soil is good, the water near the surface, and to be obtained in any abundance at little outlay, and the peasantry are industrious, brave, and robust.

Nothing is wanted but good and efficient government, which might be easily secured.

I found many Kunojee Brahmins in the villages along the road, who tilled their own fields without the aid of ploughmen; and they told me, that when they had no longer the means to hire ploughmen, they were permitted to hold their own ploughs--that is, they were not excommunicated for doing so.
In passing along, with wheat-fields close by on our left, while the sun is a little above the horizon on the right, we see a _glory_ round the shadows of our heads as they extend into the fields.

All see these _glories_ around their own heads, but cannot see them around those of their neighbours.

They stretch out from the head and shoulders, with gradually-diminished splendour, to some short distance.
