The rose-water, even after the _attar_ has been completely separated, is rich in fragrance, but is far more so, when the _attar_ is suffered to remain united with it, as may be effected by the addition of various _menstrua_, which keep it suspended in the fluid. The general price of such rose-water as is ordinarily sold under the designation of ‘double,’ and, of course, passes for the very best, may be from twenty, to forty, rupees per maund, according as the season may have been productive, or as the purchase may be made from the distiller himself, or through a second or a third hand. Colonel Polier states that the quantity of _attar_ obtained from nearly fifty-five maunds of roses, which grew upon about eleven acres of good soil, highly manured, amounted to sixteen _tolahs_, or about half a pound avoirdupoise. This gives us some insight into the value of the _attar_; for, if we allow the land to have been worth a guinea per acre, and that the cultivation, together with the expences of distillation, should amount to as much more, the following would be the state of the concern. £. _s._ _d._ £. _s._ _d._ Rent of 11 acres, (or 33 _bigahs_,) 11 11 0 23 2 0 Expences of cultivation, &c. 11 11 0 ‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ Against which we have Sixteen _tolahs_ of _attar_, say at two guineas, 33 12 0 About thirteen and a half maunds of rose-water, say at only 20 rupees, or £2. 10s. per maund 33 10 0 ‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ Giving a total of receipts equal to 67 2 0 ‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ And a nett produce on 11 acres, of 44 0 0 ‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ Equal per acre, to the yearly sum of 4 0 0 ‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
