A Journey through the Kingdom of Oude, Volumes I & II

CHAPTER V

Water must lie during the rains on all the other sides, and the soil has more clay in it.] _January_ 7, 1850 .-- To Mirree, twelve miles, over a plain of light doomuteea soil, sufficiently cultivated, and well studded with trees.
We passed Runjeet-ka Poorwa half-way--once a large and populous town, but now a small one.

The fog was, however, too thick to admit of my seeing it.

From this place to Lucknow, thirty miles, Seetlah Buksh, a deputy of Almas Allee Khan's, planted an avenue of the finest kind of trees.

I am told that there are, however, many considerable intervals in which they have been destroyed.
