Excerpt from The Naval Tracts of Sir William Monson, Vol. 2 of 6 On the other hand, Morison says that it was exceptionally haltby. But seeped, pp. To, re. Essex and Howard the reparations were pressed on, until towards the end of Septem Padilla had about we ships and pinnaces, and troops rmdy.l But only some twenty of his fleet were men-of-war, and to obtain these the Venetian ambassador tells nathat Spainhad been ransacked ofthe last ship and the last gun. Fifty-three of the vessels were Flemish or Easterling merchantmen, used as transports or store ships, and the composition of the fleet is an efl'ective commentary on the impotence of Spain and the policy of uninspired caution which is usually considered a merit in Elizabeth. If, after eight years of preparation for his second invasion, Philip could only get together twen fighting ships, it is sufficient proof that he should never have nallowedtoget afleet together against all, and could not havedone schad Elimbeth struckhardwith heralways eflicient navy, as those who understood the real conditions con tinuallyadviscdher todo. Thewantof men wasas markedas the want of ships, and nearly every language in Europe was to be heard in the fleet, 'mariners of all nations are constrained to serve the Dutch assembled and wentto the Adelantado demand ing pay, but were driven aboard with weapons another witness, who had also been present, said, 'no mariner, of what nation soever he be, is suffered to depart, but is constrained to serve.' 3 The general equipment of this compound armada was very poor in every respect, but such as it was it was ready, and Phili ordered it to sail, notwithstanding the lateness of the season. Is admirals understood the risks better than he did, and a council decided to send a memorial protesting against the order, but the protest was made in vain and only evoked an imperative command to sail. After two or threeattempts Padilla gottomfrom Lisbonon fioctober, and on c was off Finisterre, where he was struck by a south westerly gale which ended the second invasion, and when the weather cleared and the shattered remains of the fleet had recovered shelter, it was found that between thirty and forty ships, inclu seven memof-war, with at least troops, had been lost. In: Adelantado's fleet is so ruined, ' wrote the Venetian ambassador, 'that out of the rz, ooo and upwards who were on board, not more than remain. The larger number of the sailors have deserted; if his Majesty intends to use his fleet next year he will have to reconstruct it.'

Excerpt from The Naval Tracts of Sir William Monson, Vol. 3: In Six Books; Edited, With a Commentary Drawn From the State Papers and Other Original Sources The theory of the climacteric is Pythagorean and perhaps derived primarily from Chaldaean lore. Every seventh year of life was supposed to be peculiarly dangerous to bodily health, and a survival of the belief may still sometimes be noticed in the popular impression that a total change of the bodily tissues is completed by the end of every seventh year. It is difficult to decide from the text whether Monson, notwithstanding his definite statement, understood the seventh, the ninth, or the Sixty-third year to be the dangerous one.

Excerpt from The Naval Tracts of Sir William Monson, in Six Books, Vol. 1: Edited, With a Commentary Drawn From the State Papers and Other Original Sources William monson, who has the honour, SO far as is known, Of having been the first English seaman to write any historical and critical account Of the war fare in which he took part, belonged to a respectable but undistinguished family Of Lincolnshire squires, settled for several generations at South Carlton, some three miles from Lincoln.1 The naval his torian was the third son Of Sir John Monson, the then head Of the family, who died in 1593, and Of Jane Dighton, his wife.2 Little is known of Monson's youth, or, indeed, Of his whole career, beyond What he tells us himself in the Tracts' or what can be gleaned from incidental references in the State Papers and elsewhere. Our ignorance is Of the less importance in that we are chiefly con cerned with him as a Seaman and as a critic, but it must be confessed that what is known Of certain.

Excerpt from Sir William Monson's Naval Tracts, Vol. 3283 Page 48, line 20. Mr. Morton Nance has suggested that if fore mast be read instead of main mast the description of the position of the manger makes good sense because in early Ships it was sometimes abaft the fore mast. Of that fact I was ignorant. This subject of the position of the manger has been discussed by Mr. Nance in the M ariner's Mirror, iii. P. 223. The statement in the footnote that the manger was always on the forecastle is too general; it depended on the Size of the Ship and the position of the hawses, and was often below, on the capstan deck, in two and three-decked vessels.
