DRAUGHTS OF THE SEATES AND PROSPECTS. 



[I HAVE thought it desirable to print the concluding Chapter of Aubrey's work verbatim. It is 

 merely a list of remarkable buildings and views, which he wished to be drawn and engraved, for the 

 illustration of his work. The names attached to each subject are those of persons whom he thought 

 likely to incur the expence of the plates, for publication ; and his own name being affixed to two of 

 them shews that he was willing to contribute. It is impossible not to concur in his closing obser- 

 vations on this subject, or to avoid an expression of regret that he was not enabled to publish such a 

 " glorious volume " of engravings as would have been formed by those here enumerated. J. B.]
