A Military Dissertation, containing a Plan for Recruiting the British Army, and improving its Establishment. Dedicated by Permission to His Majesty. To which is added a second plan, for manning the navy, by a Mode which will prove at once more effectual and more popular, than that hitherto pursued; and by which, the number of Seamen will be encreased to such a degree, as will prevent a future Scarcity of them in all such Emergencies, as the present. Also a third plan, For Recruiting the East India Company's Service, without having recourse to the worst of all measures, that of Kid-Napping.

Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

FIRST EDITION, occasional slight browning, pp. vi, v [-viii], 121, 8vo, contemporary marbled boards, rebacked, engraved armorial bookplate of the Duke of Buccleugh. We believe the author to have been he who raised the 99th Regiment of Foot in 1794. The subject would have been of interest to Buccleugh (family name, or one of them, Douglas), who raised a Fencible regiment in 1778. The printing is unclear in places, and the text has been corrected in MS, in one case a correction that must be authorial. 'The common people of these kingdoms, generally earn by their labor [sic], from 15 pence to half a crown per day: they are too knowing, when in their sober senses, to be induced to resign these profits arising from industry, merely for the pleasure, as they say, of wearing a red coat, and standing to be shot at for 5d a day.' BL, NLS only in ESTC; COPAC and WorldCat add UCL, and the Newberry. (ESTC T101521).
