, p. 274.
80 NAVAL WARFARE, have been common to several nations during the latter part of the seventeenth centm-y. My chief authority, Charnock, is sometimes not quite satisfactory as to accuracy in minor matters, and I think he would be guilty of interpolating into original documents, by way of explaining them, without giving full notice that he has done so. Therefore, when he gives us, without quoting his authority, a table of the strength of the French Navy in 1681, under the head of five " ...rates " and four smaller groups, we are not altogether certain whether or no the rates are an interpolation. However, as given, the first rates average 90 guns, the second 72 guns, the third 53 guns, the fourth 42 guns, the fifth 30 guns ; and then there are *' small frigates, " fire-ships, barca-longas, and pinks. * But it may be said that navies and fleets about the time of the outbreak of the first Dutch war — that is, about the middle of the seventeenth century — pretty fairly conformed to the ideal put for- ward in the system of rating, and ships were built less with the view of definite duties corresponding to their size and strength, than with the view of completing the tale of each particular rate in some approach to numerical symmetry.
