_Encampment of a regiment of_ ARTILLERY. Regiments of artillery are
always encamped, half on the right, and half on the left of the park.
The company of bombardiers (when they are formed into companies, which
they are in European nations excepting England) always takes the right
of the whole, and they rate by seniority, so that the two youngest are
next but one to the centre or park: the two companies next to the park,
are the miners on the right, and the artificers on the left.

In the rear of, and 36 feet from the park, are encamped the civil list,
commissioners, clerks, &c. all in one line.

The breadth between the front tent-pole of one company, and that of
another, called the streets, will depend on the size and capacity of
the tents; but according to the old mode during the revolution of 1776,
when the American army had tents, 36 feet to each was the interval.

                                                                   FEET.
