      title = {A letter to a Member of Parliament proposing a plan of  regulations for the better and more compleat manning the  navy: which will comprehend the following advantages: I.  The Abolition of that unnatural Practice of pressing our  Seamen. II. The emphatical strengthening of the Power of  the Crown. III. The relieving our Merchants from the Danger  of losing their Property; and sometimes from the Loss of  it, by Sea, in consequence of Pressing. IV. The Abolition  of Pressing will be productive of an immense Saving of the  Public Money. V. A moderate Increase of our Seamen's Wages  will be trifling, when compared with the Savings made by  abolishing Pressing; and will not only be perfectly  equitable, but political. By Robert Nation; Formerly of the  Royal Navy, and late Commander of a private Ship of War.  [electronic resource] :},
