THE Arquebuƒe a Croc is a fire-arm, ƒtill found in moƒt old caƒtles, pretty much reƒembling the barrel of a musket, and ƒuƒtained by an iron ƒwivel, which is faƒtened to its barrel, and ƒupported by a ƒort of foot called a chevalet, or three-legged horƒe. This piece was formerly much uƒed, to mount on battlements, and at loop-holes, but is now almoƒt entirely neglected, being uƒed no where but in old forts and caƒtles where it is found. The barrel of the arquebuƒe a croc is larger than that of a musket, but much leƒs than a cannon's; they are charged in the ƒame manner as a cannon, and, like them, fired with a match; the range of this piece is greater than that of a musket.
        We ƒhall take no notice in this work, either of the fuƒil or musket, the piƒtol or the musketoon, becauƒe theƒe are fire-arms already ƒufficiently known; and we have already treated of all thoƒe which an officer ought to be acquainted with, except the carabine and petard.
