Belvidere is the name of a court of the palace, which commands a very fine prospect. […] At this festival a very interesting procession was formed. […] This was burnt to the ground the very day on which Alexander the Great was born. […] The Nereides, who were the attendants on Neptune were esteemed very handsome. […] At the eastern gate are two very fine figures of elephants, each with a man upon his trunk.
