The Press-Gang Afloat and Ashore

By John Robert Hutchinson

Book Overview

The practice of pressing men-that is to say, of taking by intimidation or force those who will not volunteer-would seem to have been world-wide in its adoption. Wherever man desired to have a thing done, and was powerful enough to insure the doing of it, there he attained his end by the simple expedient of compelling others to do for him what he, unaided, could not do for himself.
