On pp. 352 — 394 the author describes his journey down the Valley of the 

 Avon, from Milton through Amesbury to Salisbury ; but he does not 

 appear to have turned aside to visit Stonehenge. Another trip, from 

 Salisbury to Warminster, etc., occupies pp. 395— 434, and Cobbett writes: — 

 " My next village (to Wishford) was one that I had lived in for a short 

 time, when I was only about ten or eleven years of age. I had been sent 

 down with a horse from Farnham, and I remember that I went by 

 Stonehenge, and rode up and looked at the stones."

A portrait [photograph] of the author is prefixed to Vol. I. In this volume 

 a " Walk through Wilts " occupies pp. 24 — 44, including a pleasant account 

 of a walk from Salisbury by Old Sarum to Stonehenge ; and thence via 

 Winterbourne Stoke and Wiley to Warminster, etc. 



Cunnington, Wm. 1865. On the Geology of Stonehenge. 



This paper was read at the Salisbury Meeting of the Wilts Archaeological 

 Society, and is published by Mr. Long, in his Stonehenge, pp. 71 — 74. 

 The fact that the "blue stones" must have been brought from a great 

 distance, goes to prove that " Stonehenge was originally a temple, and 

 neither a monument raised to the memory of the dead, nor an astronomical 

 calendar or almanac."
