BRAMPOUR, or BRAMPORE, a city of Aſia, in the dominions of the great Mogul, and capital of Candih. It formerly ſtood on as much ground as London; but is now greatly decayed, and chiefly inhabited by Banians. The ſtreets are numerous, but narrow, with low thatched houſes made of earth, though a few are covered with varniſhed tiles. In rainy weather many of the ſtreets are overflowed. In the market place is the ſtatue of an elephant in red ſtone, as big as the life. On the other ſide of the river they have built
a new town, which is in a better ſituation. A great trade is carried on in this town, and throughout all the province, where there is made a prodigious quantity of cotton-cloths, as cotton is in greater plenty here than in any other place of the empire. E. Long. 77. 25. N. Lat. 21. 10.
