A COMMON SEDAN CHAIR.

THIS is one of the most common of sedan chairs, used by the peasantry;

though there are others still meaner, and without any covering over

head. The wages of labour are so low, and the price of provisions so

cheap, that any man above a common labourer can afford to be carried in

his chair.
