	The Fall of the Moghul Empire of Hindustan - Chapter V (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Ismail Beg had married his uncle's daughter, and was a person of great spirit, though not, as it would seem, of much judgment or principle.
		Ismail Beg with all the impetuosity of his character vigorously attacked the battalions of M. de Boigne, but was received with sang froid and resolution.
		Ismail Beg, who was severely wounded, did not hesitate to plunge his horse into the stream, swollen and widened as it was by the melting of the Himalayan snows.

		This fortress was of great strategic significance, for most caravans and armies moving east-to-west or west-to-east across Egypt skirted the edges of the Delta and made use of Roda Island as a crossing-point.
		Ismail was an ardent Francophile and admirer of the physical changes that Baron Hausmann was bringing about in Paris in the 1860's tearing out whole sections of Paris' medieval core and "modernizing" the city by laying out broad new boulevards (such as the Champs d'Elysee).
		Ismail was determined to "modernize" Cairo in a similar fashion, and he ordered his architects to prepare plans to completely renovate Cairo's medieval core.
