138 Bibliography of Stonehenge and Avebury. 



Taking the Mediterranean Sea as a starting-point, the explorations of first 

 the Phoenicians, and then the Greeks, are described. The account by 

 Pytheas of his visit to Britain (B.C. 330) is considered to be quite trust- 

 worthy.

 Inst], pp. 297 — 303; with two plates; 8vo. : London. 

 Describes the excavations made in the mound in connection with the visit 

 of the Archseol. Institute in 1849. The results were practically nil ; but 

 two points were considered proven, (1) that the purpose of the hill was 

 not sepulchral ; (2) that the hill had been raised before the construction of 

 the adjoining Roman Eoad.

 This great artist made two paintings and several drawings of Stonehenge. 

 He is known to have spent some time in Wiltshire in 1796, 1799 — 1800, 

 and again in later years. Of the paintings, one is a near view, while the 

 second is from the crest of the hill on the road to Amesbury. Both are 

 storm-effects, with "a prodigal display of lightning" (Barclay). The 

 monument forms Plate No. 7 (engraved by K. Wallis) in the same artist's 

 Picturesque Views in England and Wales (1827 — 38). The water-colour 

 drawing from which this plate was engraved was in the collection of 

 Samuel Rogers ; and was sold in 1856 at Christie's for .£304. Three plates 

 of " Stonehenge at Daybreak " (Nos. 72, 81, and 83) were drawn by Turner 

 for the Liber Studiorum, but were not published. These were purchased 

 by Mr. Ruskin from the artist's executors in 1872; and — fifty impressions 

 of each having been struck off — the plates were destroyed. In 1822 

 Turner made a sketch of Stonehenge for the frontispiece to 44 Chronology," 

 by Walter Fawkes, Esq. He also executed a mezzotint of the Bath coach 

 disturbing sheep while passing 44 the stones." Ruskin speaks in glowing 

 terms of Turner's work in connection with Stonehenge.

 the direction ol the Phoenician* [Vol. I., p. 85J. Hengist probably never 

 penetrated Into Britain beyond Kent [I., 234].
