372 1ST A LIF The place is singularly picturesque and beautiful. It is built on the side of the hills in the form of a pyramid, the houses rising one above the other in terraces, the whole being crowned by magnificent chindrs (planes) which surround the shrine of Iiazrat Eshan, while far below, in a deep glen, a foaming brook rushes over a bed of rocky boulders, on both sides of which the valley is covered with the richest orchards and vineyards. ‘The people of the country have a proverb that he who has not' seen Istalif has seen nothing ; and certainly it may be allowed that he who has seen Istalif is not likely to see many places to surpass it, and few to equal it 1 .’ Nearly every householder has his garden or orchard, to which the families repair in the fruit season, closing their houses in the town. A great part of the population is of the weaver class, and quantities of coarse cloths are manufactured, a trade in which is maintained with Turkistan. Istalif was destroyed in September, 1842, by a force under General MeCaskill, on account of its having harboured several chiefs impli cated in the murder of Sir A. Burnes at Kabul and in the massacre of the garrison of Charikar. Iswaripur.—Village in the Satkhira subdivision of Khulna District, Bengal, situated in 22 0 19' N. and 89° 7' E., on the Jamuna river.
