236 A Proposed Bibliography of Wiltshire. 
Of other local presses I have note of The Melksham Guide, con- 
taining an account of the Spa, 12mo, printed at Melksham, probably 
about the year 1814; and of a poem by J. Frearson, on Earl Stoke, 
12mo, published in the same place in 1819. 
I have note of The History of Lacock Abbey, small 4to, privately 
printed at Lacock, by the author Rev. G. Witham in 1806; of 
a visitation sermon on II. Cor., v. 19, by Rev. Thomas Hyde 
Ripley, printed by J. M. Combes, at Chippenham,! in 1819; a 
visitation sermon, by Rev. William Dalby, 8vo, printed at War- 
minster in 1826; a funeral sermon on William IV., by W. Gear, 
8vo, printed at Bradford-on-Avon in 1837 ; and an assize sermon, 
at Devizes, by C. J. P. Eyre, 8vo, printed at Calne in 18389. 
No doubt these notes on local presses might have been made more 
full and accurate; but they will serve to draw attention to the 
special interest which, I think, attaches to locally-printed works 
relating to the county. 
WokrKS RELATING TO WILTON. 
As a proof that the completed work, if done on a minute scale, will 
be of some magnitude, I may mention that I have already made the 
following rough list of separate publications relating to the town of 
Wilton, where we are now assembled :— 
The Plates of the Sculptures at Wilton House, by Cary Creed, 
Lhe es 
A description of the Sculptures, by Richard Cowdry, editions of 
1751 and 1752; 
A description of the Antiquities, by James Kennedy, editions of 
1758, 1768, 1769, 1769 (4to), 1771, 1774 (6th), 1776 (7th); this 
appears to have been merged into 
Aides Pembrochiane, by Mr. Richardson, editions of 1778 (8th), 
1779 (9th), 1784 (10th), 1785 (11th), 1795 (12th), and 1798 (18th) ;

Chronicon Vilodunense, by the same, 1830 ; 
1 Mr. Allnutt has note of a tract, “ The self-commissioned Apostle,” printed 
at Chippenham in 1765.
