Discussion of a "Report" drawn up by the Wilts Archa;ol. Soc, on the 

 neglected state of the monument. The concluding sentence of a leader 

 is that " To continue to allow this marvellous relic of pre-historic ages to 

 be ruthlessly disfigured and perish inch by inch, would be an eternal 

 disgrace to this country."

Hour, 63 — 65. 



Includes a reproduction of a photograph of sunrise at Stonehenge on 21 

 June, 1891, taken under the direction of the Rev. J. M. Bacon. Only a 

 " general rough result " was, however, obtained, and the hope is expressed 

 that " Mr. Bacon will . . . by a minute examination of the ground, 

 obtain the original line of sight with astronomical accuracy. Supposing 

 Stonehenge to have been orientated fifteen centuries ago, the diminished 

 obliquity of the ecliptic (48" per century) should result in his displacement 

 to the left or north of the original line of sight by as much as two-thirds 

 of his diameter."
