An estimate of the debt of Her Majesty's Navy on the Heads hereafter-mention'd, as it stood on the 30th September last : with what thereof has and will be satisf'd by the South Sea Stock, pursuant to the late Act of Parliament on that behalf, and what remains of the said debt on the said 30th of September to be discharg'd ; with observations thereupon /Navy-Office.

Detailed accounts of the debts of the Royal Navy. The observations which form the second section conclude that "a charge of this kind once incurr'd [...] is so far binding upon Parliament that, how little soever they approve of the means by which it was contracted, yet the publick credit being pawn'd, the Commons cannot, without the ruin of that, refuse to provide for it"--p. 4.
