An Essay On The Legality Of Impressing Seamen is a book written by Charles Butler in 1777. The book discusses the controversial practice of impressment, which was the act of forcibly enlisting sailors into the British Navy during times of war. Butler argues that impressment is illegal and violates the rights of British citizens. He provides historical and legal evidence to support his argument and calls for the practice to be abolished. The book is a significant contribution to the debate over impressment during the American Revolution and remains relevant to discussions of individual rights and government power today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
