Obstacles to our
own operations;
as defences against
the operations of
an enemy
The advantage of
being able to traverse
them at pleasure
without loss of time.

That If ever a river
should be as
a river to an
enemy equal as
dry land to ourselves.
Rivers are mutual means
of defence
Great must be the
advantage
If remaining
serving as a defence
they should
cease to
if, while covering
us from the attack
if the enemy they
matter would be
so arranged that
we should no longer
find them.
That while affording
us protection they
should no longer
afford any to
the enemy

If of two adverse
armies the
Expedients have
been found out
and practised
whereby a river
or other piece of
nature of any
width may be
crossed traversed by an
army of any
magnitude, without
any stoppage
and within a
compass of time
little if at all
exceeding that
which it would
require to pass
over in an equal
extent of dry
ground: and
this without any
additional incumbrance
over and above that
of the carriages
and beasts of
draught which

of the same
quantity of baggage

&c on hand
Could arivers
of any width and
in any number be passed by an
army of any
magnitude without
halting and in as little time nearly
as an equal
extend of dry ground,
and that without
any halt, and
addition either
to the quantity
or to the expence
of the incumbrances
which it would
otherwise have in
its suite the
advantages which
such an army
must possess over
any against an
enemy, any
country or an
army not possessed
of the
