Publick duty and privateering in Britain’s war effort
An eighteenth century reflection argues for universal private ship outfitting to support the war with France, urging towns and clubs to send ships of war or swift yachts. It links national unity, funding, and confidence to naval strength, with reports from Portsmouth on shipping, transports, and privateers, plus local notices, crimes, and obituaries.
