Shah-Jehan constructed a road from Delhi to Lahore, a distanceof 500 miles, with guard-houses at intervals of every three miles, andat every ten or twelve miles a caravanserai, where all travellers werefed and lodged at the Emperor's expense. Besides this, canals were dug, and public edifices built, at the expense of millions, without taxingthe people to pay for them as here; and these edifices still stand, andwill endure for many years, as monuments of the munificence of themonarchs who erecte...d them. During the seventy years of the Englishdominion in India, what has been done which would remind the peoplefifty years hence, if they should retire from the country, that such anation had ever held sway there? The only memorials they would leave, would be the numerous empty bottles scattered over the whole empire, toindicate what has been done _in_, if not _for_ India! In some casesalso, they have squandered millions without benefit either to the peopleor themselves. The money spent in three years on the insane war inCabul, if expended on the construction of railroads or canals, or theextension of steam navigation on our great rivers, would have employedthousands of men for twenty years, returned an immense profit togovernment, and have gained them a good name among the people.
