1720160753London: J. Roberts and A. Dodd 1720. A price list for the purchase system - commissions in the C18th British army First edition of the first formalized listing of the terms and prices applying to the purchase of military commissions a system which obtained in the British Army or equivalent from around 1660 until removed in the Cardwell Reforms of 1871. Rare ESTC has four copies in the UK Library Hub adds National Library of Scotland World Cat locates eight copies in North America and one at the University of Queensland. This is a window onto a complex and contentious area of debate not least because the practice was illegal for large parts of its operation; "The 'system' comprehending purchase and sale was constrained by a range of laws warrants orders rules custom and connived at abuses. Sale of commissions for significant periods of its vigourous life was specifically and incontrovertibly contrary to law even including the Royal Prerogative. The same prohibition was matched by indubitably established official recognition acceptance or condonement. Further and perhaps not surprisingly few conclusions of principle can be adumbrated without fear of contrary evidence" Scouller p. 217. A system which required each of the advancing officers to pay the officer stepping down that proportion of the commission price that represented the difference between their new and old ranks see Scouller p. 223 was surely nigh on impossible to administer and how far the list prices were adhered to tends to be transactionally and anecdotally obfuscated. The largest "tariff" noted here is £9000 for the purchase of the colonelcy of Lord Irwin's Regiment the King's Regiment of Horse a sum which if factored against the wage of the average worker at the time comes to a staggering £20 million today. The "acquisition of colonelcies. is neither so widely known nor as well documented" as for ranks up to and including lieutenant-colonel and was something that George I had attempted to stop at the very beginning of his reign - "that Evil Practice" - but was only eventually eradicated under his great-grandson George III Hayes p. 3. The circumstances of Irwin's purchase of the regiment from Lord Lumley in 1717 with its valuation at £9000 - the secretary-at-war had noted in broaching the subject that "no regiment can be in better condition" Hayes p. 8 - is the best documented of any such transaction due to the survival of a large tranche of correspondence between Irwin and his agent Richard Worthington. Irwin gathered the funds to cover purchase with 3000 guineas from his colonelcy in the 16th Foot a loan of £1500 each from his agent and from the government and a further £1500 from the sale of stock. The rest was offset in a slightly unseemly fracas over "off reckonings" allowances made for regimental clothing and equipment between Worthington and Lumley to include a payment of £500 "for to buy Hatts gloves & odd Matters ye Ensueing Year" and also giving "ye Lordship the Trumpetters Horse & other considerations". This is a scarce piece which offers insight into an elusive and important subject. Folio 322 x 195 mm pp. 8.
