FOOTNOTES:
[1] For a description of this organization, the reader is referred to the “Precis des Evénemens Militaires, par Mathieu Dumas;” a work of infinite labour and research, in which the military story of ten years is told with unrivalled simplicity and elegance.
| Viz.:— about | 30,000 | Cavalry, |
| 6,000 | Foot Guards, | |
| 170,000 | Infantry of the line, | |
| 14,000 | Artillery. | |
| ——— | ||
| Total, | 220,000 |
Of these, between 50 and 60,000 were employed in the Colonies and in India; the remainder were disposable, because from 80 to 100,000 militia, differing from the regular troops in nothing but the name, were sufficient for the home duties. If to this force we add 30,000 marines, the military power of England must be considered prodigious.
