Great Benin; its customs arts and horrors, p. 158 :
« At the gate at which one enters there is a very high bulwark, very thick and strongly made, with a very deep broad ditch, but it was dry and full of high trees. […] That gate is a well made gate, made of wood to be shut according to their methods, and watch is always kept there. »
Great Benin; its customs arts and horrors :
« The town, comprising the queen's court, is about five or six miles in circumference, or leaving the court outside, three miles inside its gates. It is protected at one side by a wall ten feet high, made of double stockades of big trees, tied to each other by cross-beams fastened cross- wise, and stuffed up with red clay, solidly put together. This wall only surrounds the town on one side, there being on the other, where there is no wall, a morass and close underwood, which affords no little protection and strength to the town. »
Great Benin; its customs arts and horrors, p. 160 :
« The king's court is square, and stands at the right hand side when entering the town by the gate of Gotton [Gwato] , and is certainly as large as the town of Harlem, and entirely surrounded by a special wall, like that which encircles the town. It is divided into many magnificent palaces, houses, and apartments of the courtiers, and comprises beautiful and long square galleries, about as large as the Exchange at Amsterdam, but one larger than another, resting on wooden pillars, from top to bottom covered with cast copper, on which are engraved the pictures of their war exploits and battles, and are kept very clean. »
