(the French for "chair," through a transference from a "sedan-chair" to a wheeled vehicle), a light twoor four-wheeled carriage with a movable hood or "calash"; the "post-chaise" was the fast-travelling carriage of the r8th and early 19th centuries. It was closed and four-wheeled for two or four horses and with the driver riding postillion.
