Contents. The 2nd tp. is prefixed to the " Kalender of the Imbattelinge
of men." Rich speaks of " the
*
shot on horseback,' or, as they have been
recently called, * Carabines '." Meyrick says that " Carabines " are first
mentioned in "The extraordinaries of war in Picardie," Henry II. of France
employing them as light cavalry, in that province, in 1 559. They carried
a carabin, whence their name, and either a pistol or petronel. The
" stratagems " are merely quotations, taken chiefly from ancient writers.
