 ticklifh that is too tender upon the fpur, and too fenfible, 

 that does not freely fly the fpurs, but in fome meafurc

 ramingues, :'. e. the kickers againil the Ipurs ; but with this 

 difference, that the latter put back, leap, and kick, andyerk 

 out behind, in difobeying the fpurs ; whereas a ticklifh

 goes much better, through the fear of a vigorous ham, when 

 he finds the horfeman ftretch his leg, than he does upon 

 being aftually pricked.

 place of great ftreiurth. On three fides it is furrounded by 

 water, and about half the other fide is occupied by a deep 

 fwamp, and the line of defence was completed by the 

 French with tlie ereftion of a breaft-work nine feet high, 

 on tlie only ad'ailable ground. In 1758, general Abercrombie
