Ruins at the ancient city of Gour formerly on the banks of the River Ganges.
No. IV. RUINS AT THE ANCIENT CITY OF GOUR, FORMERLY ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER GANGES.
Of Gour there are accounts so early as three hundred and fifty years before the Christian era; it has been the capital of Bengal three several times, and as often deserted. This city appears by its scattered remains to have been of very considerable extent, though at this time it is nearly overgrown with jungle (i.e. reeds, thorns, and close underwood). The Ganges, which formerly washed its walls, now runs eight or ten miles to the westward of it.
By the appearance of the adjoining wall it is probable this gate belonged to the fort.
Gour stands on the eastern bank of the river, and is distant from Calcutta about one hundred and seventy miles, north.
