The first edition of a pamphlet decrying the practice of 'Impressing' or forcibly conscripting unwilling sailors into the Navy undertaken by so-called 'press-gangs'.

Admiral Augustus Keppel 1725-1786 served with distinction as an officer of the Royal Navy during the Seven Years War and the American War of Independence. Keppel held his subordinate admiral Sir Hugh Palliser 1723-1796 responsible for the poor state of the Navy during the latter conflict and following defeat at the First Battle of Ushant considered Palliser's conduct as a deliberate betrayal. Keppel began a campaign of calumny the outcome being a series of scandalous scenes in parliament and subsequent courts-martial - each side accusing the other of treason. Keppel was the first to be tried and acquitted in 1779 with Palliser suffering the same shortly after. This is an unrecorded edition of the trial and associated address by Hugh Palliser. Not in ESTC.
