These figures for arguments sake to be corrected by

reference to the Documents.

Army in 1753, 20,000. Army in 1821, 10,000.

Navy in 1753, 15,000. Navy in 1821. 60,000.

So far as aggressive power is concerned, to say that it is no greater now

than it was in 1753 it is to say that one hundred thousand is no more than

twenty thousand: or that sixty thousand is no more than fifteen

thousand.
