No. XVIII.
A BAOLEE, NEAR THE OLD CITY OF DELHI.
This Baolee, or open bath, was originally of Hindoo workmanship, although at present the buildings surrounding it have the appearance of the Mahomedan style. On the top of the wall to the right, were fixed conveniences for drawing water, which is generally performed by bullocks walking down an inclined plane, and by means of a rope fastened to a strong leathern bucket the water is raised up.
