Note 2 — Chapter I
Reading edition
Viz.:— about 30,000 Cavalry,
6,000 Foot Guards,
170,000 Infantry of the line,
14,000 Artillery.
———
Total, 220,000
Of these, between 50 and 60,000 were employed in the Colonies and in India; the remainder were disposable, because from 80 to 100,000 militia, differing from the regular troops in nothing but the name, were sufficient for the home duties. If to this force we add 30,000 marines, the military power of England must be considered prodigious.
