REMAINS OF AN ANCIENT BUILDING, NEAR FIROZ SHAH'S COTILLAH, AT DELHI.

The plan of the outer wall is quadrangular, with round towers at the angles, and in the centre stands durbar, or hall of audience. This building is very much in ruin, as well as those surrounding it for many miles. It is distant from the fort of Shah Jehanabad, or modern Delhi, about three miles.
