Herdic, her′dik, n. a low-hung two or four wheeled carriage with back entrance and side seats.

During the winters he was at the Winthrop, Mr. Whittier's favorite way of getting about was in a herdic.

The silence is broken only by occasional noises from the street, the rattling of the wheels of a herdic over the pavement, the voices of newsboys, and an occasional strawberry-vender’s cry.

General Gage, getting into a side street, separated from his command, and, coming out on the Common abruptly, he tried eight or nine more streets, but he came out each time on the Common, until, torn with conflicting emotions, he hired a Herdic, which took him around the corner to his quarters.

"I saw the King riding in a herdic in Boston a few days before we sailed," said Maggie.
