Man-mountain, Daniel Lambert had been been drafted to serve in the Leicestershire militia – how many men will he be worth?
” The celebrated Mr. Daniel Lambert has been balloted to serve in the militia for the county of Leicester! It is supposed this man-mountain will serve by substitute; but how many men in buckram should in fairness grow out of this one, who is in himself a host, is a matter that the Deputy-Lieutenants have not yet determined upon.”
Stamford Mercury, 6th November 1807.
