(4) Merlin avers that the stones forming the "Chorea Gigantum " were 

 brought to Ireland by giants from Africa, and that they have great 

 medicinal powers ; (5) Merlin is sent to Ireland with an army ; by his 

 mechanical skill he takes down and removes the stones, and sets them up 

 again on Salisbury Plain near "the mount of Ambrius" ; (6) afterwards 

 Aurelius is buried "near the convent of Ambrius, within the Giants' Dance " ; 

 and also his successors, Uther Pendragon, and Constantine.

Commences by relating the story of the English antiquary who went to 

 Rome ; but was unable to describe to the men of science there the chief 

 antiquity of his own country — " Whereupon they kicked him out of doors, 

 and bad him go home, and see Stonage." Gibbons then adds a foolish 

 tale of his own as to the origin of the monument [see Vol. II., p. 481].

Gibson made large " additions " to Camden's work. He classes Stonehenge 

 as "a British monument, since it does not appear that any other nation 

 had so much footing in this kingdom, as to be authors of such a rude and 

 yet magnificent pile." See Vol. I., pp. 204 — 207 ; with cut of Stonehenge 

 from the N. (J. Kip, sculp.) ; ed. of 1772. Silbury and " Aubury " are 

 described on p. 208. A portrait of Camden forms the frontispiece to this 

 volume.
