An Historical Review of the Royal Marine Corps, from its Original Institution down to the Present Era, 1803

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.
Sometimes the currency symbol l (for libra, pounds) was used instead of £. This has been changed to l for clarity. For example, 50l is represented as 50 l .
The first eighteen chapters of the original text had much more whitespace between paragraphs than the later chapters. This is reflected in the etext.
The cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
