About this Item

Bound up in modern cloth backed boards - light tide mark in minutes section. xii, 132pp. In 1824 the drink allowance was shrunk from a pint to a quarter pint of rum (!) and tea adopted, but the adoption of Imperial Measure in 1826 negated some of this diminishment and, apparently, as soldiers continued to both operate a parallel liquor economy (run through the mess officer) and drink to excess and fall overboard (necessitating often dangerous rescues) this committee recommended lowering the evening grog allowance even further. 2 copies in OCLC. Size: Folio. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Cooking, Wine & Dining; Law & Criminal Studies. Inventory No: CAT000646.
