OR. 



CARRIAGE FOR USING A STANCHION GUN 

 ON LAND. 



BEFORE we cross the channel, for France, we will 

 now look at the artillery. 



A stanchion gun may be fired from a carriage, 

 that can be wheeled over land ; which is much lighter 

 than a common loaded barrow. But, with this con- 

 trivance, the person firing the gun must sit on the 

 carriage and rest his feet on the strap, so as to go 

 back with it, otherwise he would, by going directly 

 behind it, stand a chance of being knocked down; 

 or, at all events, of getting his shins broken. 



Having contrived one, which answers well, I here 

 give a representation of it, with directions for its 

 management. [Vide plate.]
