Note 661 — XII. OF OPINIONS.
Henri Van Laun translation
According to M. G. Servoisʼs preface to the Lexique of La Bruyère, ravelin, a synonym of demi-lune, and fausse-braie, a counter breastwork, are antiquated in French. However, “ravelin” and “demi-lune” are still found as English words in certain dictionaries.
