224pp. Later neat mottled cream boards, red label. ESTC T87700, one of two Dublin editions. Sackville, 1716-1785, after his return to England, demanded a court martial to clear his name. However, the court found him guilty of disobeying orders and imposed one of the strongest verdicts ever rendered against a general officer. The court's verdict not only upheld his discharge, but ruled that he was '. unfit to serve His Majesty in any military capacity whatever', then ordered that the verdict be read to and entered in the orderly book of every regiment in the army. The King had Sackville's name struck from the Privy Council rolls. It is strange that the same man should later be in charge of the British troops waging war in America, but no surprise, perhaps, that he undertook the task so ineptly. Seller Inventory # 94501
