Thanks to the fact that nowadays more and more books are digitized we are
able to read books that are some times for decades no longer available for the
public for several reasons. That's quite a pity while these books contains
useful information while the archives are destroyed, incomplete or nor
accessible. In this specific magazine was an article titled “The National
Defence Madness” published in which the British navy was compared with several
other navies and the results were presented in the British Parliament.
P. 360: “The Danish navy is, 5 ships of the line of 84
p. 361: 1 of 66, 2 frigates of 48, 3 of 46, 2 of 40, 1 corvette of 26, 4 of 20, 2 brigs of 16, 2 of 12, 1 of 8, 2 of 6, 1 cutter of 6, 1 of 4, 2 of 2 guns, total, 29 ships and 996 guns; 18 mortar-boats, 15 mortar-barques, 41 gun-boats, 4 gun-ships, 4 steamers.”
