There is consolation in the fact; they tend to present the best workmanship of their age, as though born for immortality. But there are also secular works of high distinction: the palace of Persepolis, the palace-fortresses of Lahore and Delhi, the palace-city of Fatehpur Sikri, the Forbidden City of Peking, and others." Book condition: The cover corners and spine extremeties have some moderate rubbing, and one upper corner has been bumped.
