These figures are partly compiled from Appleton's summary. The forces of Italy are elsewhere represented as having in war a regular force of 839,354, with a movable and a local militia of fully 1,909,000, making a total nominal strengths the land forces, on a war-footing, of 2,848,000, which very nearly agrees with the figures of Appleton. The last-named authority, in a table of the war land forces alone (including reserves), foots up his calculations by showing 18,909,608 officers and men, with an addition of 378,633 men in the navy, making together 10,288,241 men.
