Scope and Content
The modern universal British traveller. Chapter VII. Devonshire. 1779. pp. 477.The harbour of Plymouth is one of the most spacious and convenient in the world, of which the legislative power seems extremely sensible, by making it one of the principal places for the royal navy. [
]This harbour being of the utmost importance to the safety of Britain, is now a place of great strength; for besides its natural situation, it is greatly improved by art, considerable sums having been raised by parliament for that purpose.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
