parade ground, and the neat and convenient
range of building for officers quarters and
barracks for the folders, all OF which WIS
completed within two months, need only TO
be viewed TO call forth not only expeditions
of appreciation, but in fome degre: to excite
admiration that works of 70 much impor-
