Excerpt from Observations on a Letter From Earl Cornwallis to the Court of Directors of the East India Company, Published in the London Gazette of Feb: 1, 1792
Not with standing repeated experience of detriment to commanding officers from their imprudence of writing long official letters, the following will exhibit another conspicuous proof of that excessive weakness. Circumspect magistrates seldom record, at the time, the reasons upon which they found their decrees, because many decisions have been acknowledged perfectly correct, while the principles they were deduced from appeared erroneous. Would that military magistrates, too, for the honour of the profession, had followed their wife example! It was during the two last wars this influenza became epidemical. Too many evidences of it, naval as well as military, are extant.
