A letter from a by-stander to a member of Parliament: Wherein is examined what necessity there is for the maintenance of a large regular land-[fo]rce in this island; what proportions the revenues of the crown have born to those of the people, at different periods from the restoration to His present Majesty's accession. And whether the weight of power in the regal or popular scale now preponderates.

MDCCXLIII. [1743]
