Navy

,—a floating hell, consisting of an assembly of huge, unwieldy, wooden castles, well stored with artillery, gun-powder, chain shot, cannon balls, grape-shot, bombs, hand-grenades, slugs, leaden bullets, sharp-angled pieces of iron, flints, glass, old rusty nails, salt-petre, brimstone, combustible cannisters, and every engine of destruction that will do execution. Most of the sailors who conduct and manage these useful machines, are torn by force from their wives and families, to assist monarchs in executing this only and universal object of their whole lives, viz. the extermination of the human species.
