of Karacorum, the residence of the successors of Zingis,
which, though it appears to have been a more stable
habitation, did not equal the size or splendour of the town
and abbey of St. Denys in the 13th century (see Rubruquis,
in the Histoire Generale des Voyages, tom. vii. p. 286). The
camp of Aurengzebe, as it is so agreeably described bv
Bernier (tom. ii. p. 217-235), blended the manners of
Scythia with the magnificence and luxury of Hindostan.
