Wansey. Hen. [1752—1827]: Antiquary. 

 17%. Stonehenge. 



Wansey's remarks are printed in Easton's "Conjectures on Stonehenge" 

 [various editions, see that for 1818, pp. 59—63]. He quotes Gibson as 

 saying that Stonehenge is mentioned " in some MS. of Ninnius." The 

 ground at Stonehenge is higher on the S. than on the N. side of the outer 

 circle; and to get the imposts horizontal, the uprights on the N. side are 

 14ft. high ; but those on the S. side only 13ft.

 In a letter to Hurd written just after Stukeley's death in 1765, Warburton 

 remarks: — "There was in him (Stukeley) such a mixture of simplicity, 

 drollery, absurdity, ingenuity, superstition, and antiquarianisni. that he 

 often afforded me that kind of well-seasoned repast which the French eall 

 an ambigu, I suppose from a compound of things never meant to meet 

 together. I have often heard him laughed at by fools who had neither 

 his sense, his knowledge, nor his honesty, though it must be confessed 

 that in him they were all strangely travestied." Warburton and Stukeley 

 had been life-long friends; and there arc twenty -four references to 

 "YYarburton in Stukeley's Memoirs. An edition of "Warburton's " Works " 

 (with Life), edited by Hurd, was published in 1811, in twelve vols., Bvo. ,
