Smith, Rev. A. C. 1884. Antiquities of North Wilts 

 Downs; fol., xviii., 247; illustrated; with large map: Marlborough. 

 1885. Second edition [reprint]. 



Most of the copies of the first edition of this truly valuable book were 

 destroyed by a fire at the binders upon the day of publication. There are 

 sixteen references to Stonehenge. The map is on the scale of six inches 

 to one mile ; and upon it all the " antiquities " over an area of one hundred

Stonehenge was "the Grand Orrery of the Ancient Druids," and an 

 astronomical "Temple erected in the earliest ages for observing the
