These units were raised to counter the threat of French invasion, with the Volunteer Act of 1794 and Provisional Cavalry Act of 1796 authorising their formation. The volunteers were a socially mixed group motivated by patriotism, social pressure, and sometimes to avoid compulsory militia service, acting as a bulwark of loyalism against radicalism.<\/div>\n<div data-hveid=\"CAUQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiG_e3eqYWQAxUkVkEAHTOLG0QQo_EKegQIBRAB\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"rPeykc\" data-hveid=\"CAUQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiG_e3eqYWQAxUkVkEAHTOLG0QQo_EKegQIBRAB\">\n<p>Provenance: Ex Jonathan Horne Antiques London<\/p>\n<div class=\"NPrrbc\" data-cid=\"24895619-3837-46b5-93f9-4b7a7ab857f9\" data-uuids=\"4347157284355034758,4347157284355031239,4347157284355031816,4347157284355032970\">\n<div class=\"BMebGe btku5b LwdV0e FR7ZSc OJeuxf\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"View related links\" data-hveid=\"CAgQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiG_e3eqYWQAxUkVkEAHTOLG0QQ3fYKegQICBAB\">\n<div class=\"niO4u\">\n<div class=\"kHtcsd\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-hveid=\"CAUQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiG_e3eqYWQAxUkVkEAHTOLG0QQo_EKegQIBRAB\">Height: 4 \u215d&#8221;<\/div>\n<div data-hveid=\"CAUQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiG_e3eqYWQAxUkVkEAHTOLG0QQo_EKegQIBRAB\"><\/div>\n<div data-hveid=\"CAUQAQ\" data-ved=\"2ahUKEwiG_e3eqYWQAxUkVkEAHTOLG0QQo_EKegQIBRAB\">In good condition<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"WaaZC\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"RJPOee EIJn2\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US$1,644<\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/product\/commemorative-creamware-pottery-mug-loyal-volenteers-circa-1795\/\">Read more &#8250;<\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":103328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[26,27],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-103516","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-commemorative","7":"product_cat-creamware","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/103516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=103516"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=103516"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/martynedgell.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=103516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
