This comparison is certainly striking, and the follow- 

 ing computation is not less decisive: 



If, now, from the saving in the years 1788, 1789, 

 1790, and 1791, namely, 1,131,408 fl. 8 kr. i hi., 

 be taken that of the years 1784, 1785, 1786, and 1787, 

 namely, 578,002 fl. 16 kr. i hi., the difference 

 namely, 553,405 fl. 52 kr. shows the increased saving 

 during the last four years, which amounts yearly to 

 138,351 fl. 28 kr. 



According to a very exact calculation, one common 

 soldier who is on furlough from one muster time to 

 another costs annually, for pay, bread, and clothing, 

 only ii fl. 49 kr. 2 hi. If, now, this be reckoned as 

 12 florins, it is evident that, for the above amount of 

 138,351 fl. 28 kr. saved yearly, 11,529 men on furlough 

 could be kept and provided for, and that, in spite of 

 this increase in the army, the same yearly saving would 

 also be effected as was effected under the old system. 



The last of December, 1791, the army consisted of 

 19,696 men. If now to this number be added the 

 number of f urloughed men, as mentioned above, 

 1 1,529 men, the entire number will amount to 31,225
