Levy of Foreigners in England Promoted by Fear and Faith
A mid 1700s English Advertiser piece urges Protestant natives to join the Duke of Schombergh's Dragoon regiment or support a French refugee unit, arguing loyalty to England and religious liberty justify service while warning that those who refuse are enemies. The pamphlet lambasts Catholics and foreigners, denounces Greenwich Hospital favoritism, and calls for national unity with references to Portugal and Gibraltar. It cites the London Spy publication and notes selling points for the Observator print series.
