This book is dedicated to Philip, Earl of Pembroke. The preface (by Webb) 

 states that the work has been prepared from " some few indigested notes ' ' 

 left by Inigo Jones. The book was not published until three years after 

 the death of Jones, and Webb may probably be regarded as its real author. 

 Some copies bear later dates (as 1661, etc.), but in these cases it will be 

 found that the date has been manipulated and altered. The importance of 

 this work is considerable, as being the first entirely devoted to the subject 

 of which it treats. Jones gives the views of previous writers. He refers 

 the stones to " the Quarries at and about Aibury " : and believes that the 

 whole work was a Temple of the Tuscan order of architecture erected by 

 the Romans in honour of the God Coelus ; and probably somewhat later 

 in date than the time of Agricola [79 A.D.] The illustrations cannot be 

 highly commended. The first plate shows three entrances into the Earth- 

 circle, each guarded by four stones. Except plate 7, all the figures are 

 " restorations," and they all show that neither Jones nor Webb could have 

 studied the monument closely ; or else that they must have drawn the 

 plans (as Aubrey suggests) to suit their own theory. These plans show 

 six trilithons, so arranged as to form a hexagon, and quite unlike the 

 actual " horse-shoe."
