The Kalmucs are excellent horfeman. Their arms are 
lances, bows and arrows, poniards, and crooked fabres, 
though the rich have fire-arms. They wear, when at war, 
coats of mail, which colt fifty horfes ; and their helmets 
are gilded at top. They are fond of falconry, and hunt¬ 
ing of all forts is their principal amufement. Their paf- 
fion for play, efpecially with thofe who play cards, is car¬ 
ried to as great excefs among them as in any other nation. 
The greater part of their time is fpent in diverfions ; and, 
however miferable their manner of life may teem to us, 
they are perfectly happy with it. They cannot endure for 
any time the air of a clofe room ; and think our cultom 
of living in houfes infupportable. The greatelt part of 
them, notwithllanding of the apparent unhealthinefs of 
their way of life, arrive at a vigorous old age ; their dif- 
eafes are neither frequent nor dangerous. Men of eighty 
ora hundred years old are not uncommon ; and at that age 
they can itill very well endure the exercife of riding. Sim¬ 
ple food, the free air which they conftantly breathe, con¬ 
tinual exercife without fevere labour, and a mind free from 
care, are the natural caufes of their health and longevity.
