PL 29, fig. 46, shows the arrangement of a French camp for two infantry 

 battalions, or rather two thirds of the camp of a regiment. The tents here 

 are designed for eight men, and they are placed with their backs together, 

 and the broad side towards the front of the camp, in order to give it less 

 depth ; this brings the entrances upon the camp streets. The rows of tents 

 are three paces distant from each other, and the camp streets are five paces 

 wide. The letter references are exactly the same as in the preceding 

 figure. 



Fig. 47 is the camp of a French cavalry regiment of six squadrons, with 

 huts for fourteen men each. The huts are so placed, that their entrances 

 are on the camp streets ; the horses of each section are in one line, with 

 their heads towards the huts, and fastened to the picket pole. The letters 

 indicate different objects, as follows : O, the two huts of the colonel ; 

 OL, the lieutenant colonel ; EC, chef d'escadron, or major ; RA, regi- 

 mental adjutant ; AS, paymaster, adjutant, and ensign ; RC, regimental 

 surgeon ; A, adjutant ; D, men's huts ; F, drivers of the train ; LL, laza- 

 retto and hospital ; OF, officers' huts ; T, farriers ; UO, non-commissioned 

 officers ; W, wagon master and laborers ; WP, quarter guard; aa, line of 

 camp kitchens ; b, smithies ; cc, place for forage ; ee, line of horses at the 

 picket pole ; gg, men's sinks : the officers' sinks lie 160 paces in rear of 

 the officers' huts. On the left of the figure in front of the encampment, 

 the six squadrons are represented on parade as they have marched from 

 their cantonments. 



Around the encampment is thrown, as above mentioned, a chain of 

 advanced posts, which are designed to observe any approach of the enemy 

 at a distance so great, that before an actual attack can be made, the whole
