This Annual is got up for the benefit of the Military Male Orphan Asylum, and no pains or expence will be spared in rendering it equal in every respect to previous years' editions. The information it will be perceived from the Table of Contents, is as varied as it is useful, and will contain not less than 500 pages. ... Orders received and registered by Wm.
