Gerbier concludes of Charles that "He did not reigne like a King, for that he was unjust, both to his owne people, and to other Nations. Neither dyed he like a King, Nor was he mourned like a King. Finally, his Effigies was not suffered to stand like a King. And therefore he is by right termed. the None-such Charles."

Second part of this rare treatise on fortifications by the Anglo-Dutch courtier, diplomat, spy, art agent, miniaturist, and architectural designer Gerbier (1592-1663), itself subdivided into two parts, printed in English and French parallel text. It discusses the proper shape, angles and proportions of fortresses in part one, providing tables for their calculation and displaying model fortifications including pentagons, hexagons, and dodecagons. Part two covers the actual construction of forts, describing walls and gates as well as irregular forts, using Breda, Antwerp, Mannheim, Geneva and others as examples. - In 1646 Gerbier inherited a house in Bethnal Green, where from 1649 to 1650 he operated an academy for young gentlemen, the curriculum including horsemanship, foreign languages, cosmography and the construction of military fortifications.
