MILITARY COMMUNICATIONS. 300. Despatch is of the first importance in all military operations; and nothing contributes more to it than the means of opening practicable and easy communications in every direction. 301. Among the various obstacles by which the free movements of an army may be embarrassed, water courses, marshes and swamps, hold the first rank, owing to the difficulty of finding suitable means at hand to pass them, or of transporting those means in the train of an army. 302. For the passage of water courses, bridges must be constructed; the character of the construction depending on the nature of the river, the particular locality selected for the bridge, and the means at hand. 303. Before adopting definitively the particular locality, the officer charged with the construction should endeavor to gain the most accurate information, on every point, which might in any manner bear upon this selection; for which purpose he will cause a reconnaissance to be made, to determine the breadth and depth of the river, and the character of its bed;--the velocity of the current, the seasons of freshets, with their usual extent and effects;-- the character of the banks, their absolute and relative heights, their slope, the approaches to them, the distance between them and the water way, and finally, if they are wooded or otherwise;--the position and size of islands, whether wooded or not; --the extent of fords, their depth of water, and the nature of their bottom;--the form and dimensions of elbows and indentations;--the artificial obstructions, or dams, &c, the possibility of their being destroyed by the enemy, and the practicability of applying them to the purposes of artificial inundations;--the position, extent, and...

Excerpt: ... by nature, the conveniences required to save expences, or their importance with regard to tramck; for, all these considerations are to be maturely considered and well weighed at leisure, before an undertaking of thjs importance is put in execution. It would be a help to the reader, if a great many plans of places already executed were collected;, for by examining them with all the attention and care that is possible, and not omitting the least circumstances, arising from their different situations or nature of the ground; as likewise from the importance they are of either to protect or increase trade; and then taking notice for what reasons works are made in such a manner in one case, and different in another, a right notion might be formed of the suhject, so as to be able to proceed in any other cafe of the like nature. But as this would swell the work too much, and draw it into a greater length than is agreeable to our purpose, we shall finish this part with explaining the situations of a few places already built, to supply, in some measure, what is wanting to compleat the subject. At Dunkirk is a bank of land before the entrance into the harbour, nearly parallel to the shore, which is an admirable defence against against any bombardment; for when ships lie without it, they are too far from the place to do it any damage; and if they should venture to go between this bank and the shore, there is ft fort built so nigh, which would destroy them, as not having sufficient room for working a ship, so as to turn about; the channel leading into the harbour is pretty long, and defended by two forts on one fide, and three on the other, which makes it impracticable for an enemy to pass through it. Another great convenience this port has, is, that...
