(348*224 mm). (Harris 384; RIBA 1628; Upcott III, 1317-1320; Wing J954). Jones' hypothesis of the Roman origin of Stonehenge, & the first publication of Charleton's critical response to this, suggesting that the stones were erected by Danes. In the present work, Webb replies in kind, with a robust defence of Jones - which was not surprising considering Webb edited & saw the first edition of 1655 through the press.
