Volunteer Wit or Not Enough for a Prime A group of elderly volunteers in one of the City Militias sit around a table. They are all in uniform, wearing pigtail wigs. On the far left a man not in uniform says: "Come - Gentlemen Volunteers - to the right and left - Charge if you please to the King". At the end of the table, on the right, a man in uniform looks into his glass and replies: "I should be happy to obey your Orders Colonel - but really your glasses are so small that d--n me if there's enough for a prime." On the wall there is a poster giving instructions on how to get rich, and on the floor are pieces of paper marked 'A Penny Saved is a Penny Got' and 'Current Prices of Port'. 21 May 1808
