A view of the monument from the N.E. An accouipanying paragraph 



remarks that '' Stonehenge is a fixture, if ever there was one. Its removal 

 would destroy its history and its mystery ... It is part of the

Salomon Reinach {/'An/hrojyolor/ie, X., 897) remarks that 1000 B.C. there 

 was an overland trade between Britain and Greece ; the tin from the 

 " Cassiterides " being exchanged for amber and bronze objects such as are 

 found in the Wiltshire barrows. Midas, of Phrygia (the inventor of the 

 anchor) discovered a sea-route, and was the first to bring tin and lead by 

 sea from Britain to Greece, about 800 B.C. Afterwards the Phanicians 

 got possession of this north-west route by sea.

"If the orientation of the [so-calledj " pointer stone "' has been accurately 

 ascertained, and it was originally so placed at the time of its erection as 

 to mark the precise point of sunrise at the Summer Solstice, it would be 

 by no means a difficult task to compute the amount of shift, and hence to fix 

 the date at which the wonderful structure of which it forms an integral 

 part was set up."

Values the land round Stonehenge at £6 per acre, independently of the 

 monument. The late Sir E. Antrobus [third baronet ] would not sell the 

 property at any price, "so the Government boundary "of land purchased 

 for military purposes] had to be drawn across Durriugton Down, more 

 than a mile north of the Druid's temple."
