Small 4to, pp. 40; last page dust-soiled and a little stained; disbound. Presumably the third edition (although not thus stated); preceded by two printings of the same text, both printed in 1680, one with the imprint of Anne Godbid, the other 'printed for the author'. This third printing, also 1680, adds an 8-page section entitl…ed The interest of Tanger, by another hand. Sir Henry Sheeres (d. 1710) was a military engineer and writer. In 1666 he accompanied Edward Montagu to Spain in a diplomatic role; on his return in 1668 he became friendly with Samuel Pepys, who took a strong liking to him. However, the relationship cooled when Sheeres made inappropriate advances to Pepys's wife. Sheeres then left for Tangier in 1669 and lived there working as an engineer for fourteen years. 'He hastened to England in 1684 in order to defend, at court, George Legge, baron Dartmouth, the admiral at Tangier, against accusations of peculation. Aided by Pepys, he was successful in this task, and thereby permanently established himself in Dartmouth's favour' (Old DNB). Sheeres also published translations of Polybius and Lucian, a scientific work on the 'Certainty and Causes of the Earth's Motion' (Sheeres was a member of the Royal Society), and a Discourse on the Mediterranean, 1703; he also edited two pamphlets by Walter Raleigh, and wrote a poem which was prefixed to Southerne's Oronooko, 1696. His Discourse touching Tanger deals with the importance of Tangier as a trading station, and for its strategic defensive position. Wing S3057.
