Hi Harrison, and welcome to SFN!
Y'know, that's an interesting question; one that I never gave any thought. 1700s literture isn't a topic I'm really familiar with.
Have you tried looking through the surviving, military records of the era?

The moderators took my post down because I posted the same query on other sites, but for all those interested in what we're looking for, the text of our challenge can be found here... http://www.biopsychlab.com/challenge.html

Yeh I know. Cuttin' my own throat again.
But as well as military records, it might be a good idea to look at ship's logs.
Another place to look would be the East India Company's records.
I'd just squander it....

Maybe if you had PMed the forum's moderator and asked first, he/they might have granted you an exemption for spamming.
It's not like the post resembled anything the banned member Kilik would have posted, and it concerned a subject that have engaged the SFN for a while. |

Had Dr. Pope written something like his second post as the OP, there wouldn't have been an issue at all. I even provided links to three other posts he has made, to make sure everyone could still get to the original text. It's a subject that can still engage the members of the SFN.

| I think it's an interesting question. Of course, Dr. Pope does have close ties with the FMSF... |
Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
