The tents are therefore very numerous, and cover a large extent of ground; though with respect both to their number and the space occupied by them very extravagant notions are formed. When the army halts in a fine and favourable country, which leaves it at liberty to adopt the well-understood rules and order of a circular encampment, I do not believe that this space measures more than two leagues, or perhaps two leagues and a half in circumference, including here and there several spots of unoccupied ground. It should be mentioned, however, that the heavy artillery, which requires a great deal of room, is commonly a day or two in advance of the army. - [Previous: 9.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.2.5) - [Next: 9.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.2.7) - [Up: 9.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.9.2.6) · Pramāṇa
