A minute account of this work and of its compiler Ashmole will be found in 

 Dr. Kipp's Biographica Britannica, i, 29S (1778). Part II was never 

 issued. Ashmole was the well-known English antiquary who founded 

 the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. Lenglet du Fresnoy says of him : 

 " II avoit cette folic eu tete sans peut-etre la pratiquer, ou du moins 

 sans y reussir."
