This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1873 edition. Excerpt: ...in the terreplein. After the embrasure is finished, the mask in front is either removed by hand, or left to be blown out by the first discharge of the piece. 321.

On these are laid transversely hewn timbers 14' long, 6" thick, and from 10 to 14 inches wide.
