To all aspiring heroes bold, who have spirits above slavery and trade, and
inclinations to become gentlemen, by bearing arms in His Majesty's 64th
Regiment, commanded by the magnanimous Major Grenier; let them repair to
the drumhead where each gentlemen volunteer shall be kindly and honourably
entertained, and enter into present pay and good quarters; besides which,
gentlemen, for your further and better encouragement you shall receive one
guinea advance; a crown to drink His Majesty King George's health; and
when you come to join your respective regiment, shall have new hats, caps,
arms, cloaths, and accoutrements, and every thing that is necessary and
fitting to compleat a gentleman soldier.
God save their Majesties, and success to their arms!
This would have been the speech given by a recruiting officer as he
attempted to raise volunteers by the beat of a drum.
