Summary "Historical Record of the Thirty-ninth, or the Dorsetshire Regiment of Foot" by Richard Cannon is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work aims to chronicle the history of the Dorsetshire Regiment from its formation in 1702 through its services up to 1853.

The opening of this historical record begins with a transcriber's note that details formatting and editorial choices made in the text. Following this are intellectual commendations regarding the regiment's history, its notable battles, and the outlined mission to create an adequate record of military service, particularly emphasizing the zeal of British soldiers. Themes of courage, discipline, and legendary battles pervade the introduction, with discussions on the need for rigorous documentation of military achievements as a means to inspire future generations. The portrayal of resilience and bravery through the ages highlights the regiment’s role in significant historical conflicts and asserts the importance of remembering these stories for their contributions to national identity.
