Drawings, &c. 



Among the most interesting of the old engravings of the abbeys, castles, and 

 seats in the county I would mention those engraved by S. and N. Buck, 1733 : — 

 Abbeys— Milton N.W., Abbotsbury N., Biudou S. 



Castles— Lulworth N.E., Chidioc N.E., Corfe S., Saudford or Wey- 

 mouth N., and Sherborne S. 



The 1st and 2nd editions of Hutchins' contain many fine engravings of some of 

 our noble country seats by eminent artists and sculptors, those made for the 

 1st edition and Vols. I. and II. of the 2iid edition being the more scarce, many of 

 the valuable plates having been destroyed in the Nichol fire before referred to. 



The Eoman Amphitheati-e, Poundbury, Maiden Castle, andEggarden Camps, by 

 Bayley, are most interesting and instructive. 



Mr. Bankes, of Kingston Lacy, has a drawing of Corfe Castle before the Civil 

 War, and three good paintings of it by Mr. Richards were exhibited at Spring 

 Gardens 1764 and 1766. 



A view of Dorchester, by Boy dell, published by S. Gould, bookseller, Dor- 

 chester, about 1755. 



A set of twelve coloured oval aqua tint engravings, published by Fittler and 

 Love, about the year 1790. 



A set of nineteen original water-coloured dramngs of Weymouth and Port- 

 land, by Upham, 1802-1805, are in the possession of Mr. Merrick Head, 

 Pennsylvania Castle. Only a part of these have been published. 



A set of interesting drawings, mostly by J. Nash (1840) ; lithographed by 

 C. Hullmandel. 



At the British Museum, in the Kaye Collection, are some very fine views in 

 Indian ink and drawings in pen and ink of the island of Portland, Weymouth, 

 and other places of interest on the coast, by S. H. Grimm, drawn in the year 

 1790. 



Also, in " Buckler's Architectural Drawings" (Vol. VI.), are some fine pencil 

 drawings of churches and mansions belonging to the county (1802-1828). 



Maps. 

 Of the maps of Dorset, perhaps the most ancient and most interesting is that 

 drawn by Remigius Hogenbergius, and published, with a description of Dorset- 

 shire, by Christopher Saxton in the year 1575. There appears to be a somewhat 

 later edition of Saxton's map " corrected and amended with many additions as 

 to roads, ttc, by P, Lea,'''' published in or about the year 1600, with apian of 

 Dorchester, and the arms of the " Earles and Marquesses of Dorset; " tliis map 

 also shows the Hundreds.
