The object of this work is to describe the numerous changes, which have taken place in the Dress of Military Men; first, during the time when armour was worn, but more particularly since it has been left off; with a view, by accurately delineating the various changes, to induce British Officers to reflect without prejudice on this important subject, and to form a just estimate of what is useful, desirable, and ornamental for a soldier’s equipment, at the smallest expense, both for officers and privates,—taking into consideration the best mode of ensuring freedom of action for the different arms of the service, and for health and comfort, while enduring the various climates of our colonies.
