PLANS of fortifications, neatly drawn in pen-and-ink with little or no explanatory matter. The plan (temp Hen. VIII ?) of a projected fort, with the description, on f. 1 has evidently no connexion with the rest of the MS. It represents a work apparently about 1/4 mile square, with towers of the shape of the ace of spades at the corners. Introductory to the main series of plans are drawings of 'Les Instruments de la fortification et de la Geommetrie, avec les compas et instructions de toutes sortes de misures modernes'. Their names are given in Dutch, as is also the explanation of a scale on f. 11. At the end (f. 220 b) is a plan of 'L'ordre comme l'on se doibt loger', viz. 'Vn demi regument d'enfanterye' and a 'Demi regument de cavallerie'.
Paper; ff. 221. 19 in. x 16 in. Beginning of XVII cent. Impressed on both covers are the device and initials of Henry, Prince of Wales (d. 1612). Not in the old catalogues.
