The naval habit particular dress given
to the lower order of seamen serves in some sort to discriminate that
useful but irregular class of men from the main
body of the people. In the land service the distinctive circumstance
of dress narrows reduces the enquiry to a much smaller
compass: since not only the soldiers are distinguished
from the rest of the people, but the soldier
of one regiment from the soldier of another.
The costume an ornament common to every branch
of the military profession serves to distinguish officers
from other gentlemen at large. In England the
anchor upon the button distinguishes the naval officer
from the officer in the land service. By a regulation
of no very long standing soldiers the regiments
of the guards officers as well as soldiers are distinguished
by buttons marking the exhibiting the
member of the regiment and a contraction for the
word guards. This regulation is the more useful, on
account of the intimate connection and intermixture
which takes place between those stationary regiments
and the mass of citizens.
