Salisbury: Churches, &c. Mr. Doran Webb’s description of the City 
Churches, &c., during the visit of the Dorset Field Club to Salisbury, Aug. 
25th and 26th, is to be found well reported in the Salisbury Journal, Aug. 
28th, 1897. 
Stonehenge not Druidical. In this chapter of Prehistoric Man and Beast, 
by Rev. H. N. Hutchinson [London : Smith, Elder, & Co.], an attempt is 
made to prove that Stonehenge is*not a temple, and that it was not built by 
the Druids, but by the “ little folk,” or dwarfs, whom he identifies with the 
people of the long barrows and chambered cairns. See the review in 
Salisbury Journal, 28th Nov., 1896. 
Longleat. The Pall Mall Magazine, Nov., 1897, pp. 292—306, contains 
- an article on Longleat by the Rev. A. H. Malan, giving a readable account 
of Sir John Thynne, the builder of the house, and of the interior of the 
house itself, touching on the principal portraits, &c., therein contained, and 
ending up with the gardens and the park. Its principal value, however, 
lies in the process illustrations, all of which, except, perhaps, the portraits, 
are distinctly excellent. They are as follows :— Kast and North Fronts,” 
Portrait of ‘Sir John Thynne, Builder of Longleat,” “ In the Hall,” “ The 
Hall,’ “The Corridor,” “Lady Louisa Carteret,” “The Library,” “ Mary 
Villiers, Lady Thynne,” “The Drawing-room,” “The State Dining-room,” 
“The Library,” “The Long Gallery ” (two illustrations), “The Garden,’’ 
“The Lake,” ‘ Heaven’s Gate.” 
Longleat. Country Life Illustrated, Aug., 1897, has an article by John 
Leyland, quoted in Wilts County Mirror, Aug. 20th, 1897, illustrated 
with a full-page view of the House across the lake and sketches of the 
Library and Drawing-room. It gives a good account of the building of the 
house. 
Wilton House. The Pall Mall Magazine, pp. 148—161, Oct., 1897, has 
an article by Lady Pembroke, beginning with genealogical details as to the 
line of the Earls of Pembroke and ending with a short notice of the house 
its contents, and the beautiful gardens. The chief value of the article, itself, 
however, lies in the really admirable series of eighteen photo-process illus- 
trations, which do ample justice to the glories of Wilton, the views of the 
interior of the rooms, especially, being marvellously clear and good. They 
comprise the following subjects :—The Entrance Gates, West Front, Holbein 
Front, ‘‘ Double Cube,’’ Great Vandyke in the Double Cube, Corner Room, 
“Single Cube” (two views), Colonnade Room, Cloisters (two views), The 
Writer’s Sitting-room, Lucas van Leyden’s Card Players, Library, Palladian 
Bridge, Lawn, Holbein Porch, Italian Garden.
