One of the "customs" was — "worship on the summit of hills, towards 

 the rising sun . . . Stonehenge has been visited from time immemorial, 

 on the longest day, to see the sun rise."

Describes the existing rude stone monuments of the Balearic and Italian 

 isles. Stonehenge is a structure of at least two periods, widely separated. 

 Thinks that the smaller (=foreign) stones of Stonehenge are the older ; 

 while the larger sarsens may be due to the " Ancient Britons, just beginning 

 to be educated by the Romans."

 The position and working of the stone imposts is " entirely Roman." The 

 small stones were a sacred circle brought from Cornwall, and erected here 

 to give sacredness to the contracts made between the early tribes of the 

 west and those of the east of Britain, in time of trade. Afterwards the 

 Romans raised a grander edifice (the sarsens) on the same sacred spot.

 Describes the stone structures known as " Taulas," and " Talayots." 

 Stonehenge belongs to at least two periods ; the big stones belonging to 

 the later period. The handling and working of these large stones is unlike 

 that of any Keltic erection in either Britain or Brittany.
