Notwithstanding the great height and width of conical tents,
compared to the others, we see by the diagram that they afford
scanty space at the level of

There is a recent contrivance
by Major Rhodes, to be seen
at Silver and Co.'s, that is a
modification of' the gipsy
tent. Among ordinary, well
nown tents, I believe none
will satisfy the varied wants

of a traveller so well as

fig, 4.
