I suppose, that this distance of 30 or 40 fathoms is taken from the gorge, and not from the flanked angle of the work, or else the lunette, scarcely projecting beyond the saliant angles, would not have the intended use. With regard to the usual method, if redans are so obtuse, that the lunettes may be defend- . xx ed and not battered, from whence are these S 2" yedans and the curtain to be flanked? It is true, the communications fire upon the whole faces of the adjacent redans, in either cafe; and if such 4 works are made before all the fronts, the rest of...
