Excerpt from A Descriptive Reading on Cashmere: Illustrated by Twelve Lantern Slides
With these words Feramorz begins his delightful narrative of the adored Nourmahal, the Light of the Harem. The unequalled Valley has ever been to the poets and romancers of the East, as well as in our own half of the world, the ideal of an terrestial paradise. The striking contrast between the arid plains of Hindu stan, but a few miles beyond its circling barrier of mountains, with the constant Spring and verdure of the Happy Valley has contributed to give it fame. Situated in the very midst of the desolate and barren peaks of the Himalayas, it seems as though the sur rounding country had been denuded of its natural ornaments in order that its lovely slopes and plains might be made beautiful.
