A letter to a Member of Parliament; proposing a plan of regulations for the better and more compleat manning the navy: which will comprehend the following advantages: I. The Abolition of that unnatural Practice of pressing our Seamen. II. The emphatical strengthening of the Power of the Crown. III. The relieving our Merchants from the Danger of losing their Property; and sometimes from the Loss of it, by Sea, in consequence of Pressing. IV. The Abolition of Pressing will be productive of an immense Saving of the Public Money. V. A moderate Increase of our Seamen's Wages will be trifling, when compared with the Savings made by abolishing Pressing; and will not only be perfectly equitable, but political. By Robert Nation; Formerly of the Royal Navy, and late Commander of a private Ship of War.
