Below the title: 'I have only to say my Lords, that I am perfectly Satisfied with whatever destination my Sovereign has been graciously pleased to allot me, and that were His Majesty to call upon to serve in the Ranks as a private, I would in that subordinate station unsheath my Sword with the same chearfull alacrity and ardent Zeal as if I were call'd to the Command of the most Numerous and Gallant Army. Vide, a noble Earl's speech in the House of Lords June 20th 1803. Adhesions at verso corners.
