In military affairs, are letters of reprisal, granting the subjects of one prince or state liberty to make reprisals on those of another. <br />
<br />
'''Letters of marque''' among us, are extraordinary commissions granted by authority for reparations to merchants taken and despoiled by strangers at sea, and reprisals is only the retaking, or taking of one thing for another. (M-Z pg 27) <br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
<br />
Properly a ''Letter of Marque and Reprisal'', this was a document issued by a national government to the owner and/or captain of a private man-o'-war, giving permission to attack and capture vessels owned by or flagged by enemy countries. <br />
A vessel operating under the auspices of such a letter was also called a "Letter of Marque." Another term for the same vessel was "privateer," although that term was abhorred by the officers aboard because the practice had in previous eras degenerated to piracy. <br />
