To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Ministers expected the first batch of 20,cxD0 men to be raised by the 9th of August.
On the 23rd of August they issued a circular to the Lords-lieutenant asking what measures they were taking to execute the Act and with what success, repeat- ing the rea uest on the 30th of August. Answers came in slowly, but were uniformly the same. Hardly a man could be obtained ; the area of recruiting was too much restricted ; the bounties were too low ; the reward to parish officers was too small. The Lieut...enant of Norfolk added that recruiting was much hampered by the number of young labouring men serving in the Volunteers. It made litde difference what reasons were assigned. The parish officers, after perusal of the Act, had made up their minds that it was hopeless to obtain recruits under such conditions, and that the Government only wanted fines in lieu of men ; so they christened the measure "The Twenty Pound Act," and resigned themselves to the inevitable payment. The Government, therefore, issued another circular on the 25th of September, pointing out that, after all, only the men deficient of the Army of Reserve and Supplementary Militia were required for the present, and that the limit of time would be ex- tended to the 15 th of November, after which the officers of the Regular Army would receive orders to raise recruits, and the fine of ^20 upon the parishes would be rigorously enforced.
