Hippisley also argues for the strategic imperative of constructing a fort at Cape Appolonia. Illustrated with a new map of Africa, this work provides a window into 18th-century perspectives on African population, trade dynamics, and colonial strategy. A valuable historical resource for understanding early European interactions with Africa.
