The Royal Naval Review brought out at Astley’s, is one of the most excellent aquatic entertainments over offered to the public: how Astley has contrived to represent the ships, in so many different points of view, with the manner of their manoeuvring, firing, &c. we know not; but this we know, that the whole produces the most charming effect possible; and the song by the female rowers is admirable.
