第 218 頁 - Husainabad, there remains the more modern part of the town, which I have already spoken of as Trenchabad. Separated from the rest of the city by a " maidan " (stretch of level ground) of some acres, it occupies an admirable site, and has the advantage of room for extension, should it at any time be thought advisable to embark upon enlargement. Between two rows of buildings is a wide space more nearly a square than a street, at one end of which flies the Union Jack from a flagstaff planted in a solidly...
