HISTORY OF MARINE ARCHITECTURE.
NBA paper, the property of Dr. Leith, read before the Society of Antiquaries, May 5, 1796, andpublished in the thirteenth volume of the Archaeologia, contains the following List of the Royal Navy,as it stood at the conclusion of the preceding century. For the sake of perspicuity, the ships thatwere built after the accession of James the First, are marked in the preceding list with an asterisk,and those in the subsequent table, to which + is affixed, became unfit for service previous to theyear 1624. The following account varies but little from that before given from Sir W llham Mon-son’s tracts, (see page 70) but is more interesting on account of its particularities, the number oguns, and their qualities, which each vessel carried.
