About the Taj Mahal.

The most magnificent work of architecture is the Taj Mahal, in Agra, Hindustan. It is octagonal in form, of pure white marble, inlaid with every sort of precious stone. The work took 2,000 men twenty years to complete, and though there were numerous gifts and the labor was free, the cost was £3,200,000..
