126 AUBREY'S NATURAL HISTORY OF WILTSHIRE. 



11. From the leads of Wilton House to Salisbury, Ivy-church, &c. SirR. Sawyer, Attorney-Genl. 



12. The prospect that I drew from Warren, above Farleigh-castle Parke; and take another view 

 in the parke. Sir Edward Hungerford. (This prospect of Farleigh is in my book A, at the end ; 

 with Mr. Anthony Wood.) 



13. The prospect of Malmesbury from the hill above Cowbridge. This I have drawn. 



14. I have drawn the prospect of Salisbury, and so beyond to Old Sarum, from the lime-kills at 

 Harnham. (Memorandum. Mr. Dankertz did make a very fine draught of Salisbury. Enquire 

 of Mr. Thompson, the printseller, who bought his draughts, if he hath it) Seth Ward, Bishop of 

 Sarum, (Set down the latitude and longitude of Salisbury.) 



15. A draft of the toft of the castle and keep of Castle Comb. Jo. Scroop, Esq. 



16. A Mappe of Wiltshire, to be donne by Mr. [Brown?] that did Staffordshire. (Advertisement 

 to the surveyor of Wiltshire, as to the mappe. Let him make his two first stations at the south 

 downe at Broad Chalke, which he may enlarge two miles or more ; from whence he may ken with 

 his bare eye to Portsmouth, all the Isle of Wight, to Portland, to the towers and chimny's of Shaftes- 

 biu'y, to Knoll-hill, to the promontory of Roundway-down above the Devises : to St. Anne's hill, 

 vulgo Tanne hill, to Martinsoll hill, to Amesbury becon-hill, to Salisbury steeple, &c. When he 

 comes into North Wiltshire his prospect will not be much shorter. There he will take in Glasten- 

 Imry-torre and Gloucestersliire, and Cumnor Lodge in Barkshire.) 



IF these views were well donn, they would make a glorious volume by itselfe, and like enough it 

 might take well in the world. It were an inconsiderable expence (charge) to these persons of 

 qualitie, and it would remaine to posterity, when their families are gonn and then 1 buildings ruin'd 

 by time or fire, as we have seen that stupendous fabrick of Paul's Church, not a stone left on a stone, 

 and lives now onely in Mr. Hollar's Etchings in Sir William Dugdale's History of Paul's. I am not 

 displeased with this thought as a desideratum, but I doe never expect to see it donn ; so few men 

 have the hearts to doe publique good, to give 3, 4, or 5 1 '- for a copper plate. 



" Thus Poets like to Kings (by trust deceiv'd) 

 Give oftner what is heard of than receiv'd."

(There are noble prospects in Gloucestershire, but that concernes not me. The city of Gloucester 

 is one of the best views of any city in England ; so many stately towers and steeples cutting the 

 horizon. From Broadway-downe one beholds the vale of Evesham, and so to Malvern hills, to 

 Staffordshire, Monmouthshire, Warwickshire, the cities of Gloucester and Worcester, and also 

 Tukesbury, the city of Coventry, and, I thinke, of Lichfield. From Kimsbury, a camp, is a very 

 pleasant prospect to Gloucester over the vale. From Dundery is a noble prospect of the city of 

 Bristow and St. Vincent's Rocks, &c., quod NB.)
