Webb, John [1611—1672]: Architect. 

 1655. Edited Inigo Jones' " Stone-Heng " ; fol. ; London. [See 

 Jones]. 



This book may be said to belong as much to Webb as to its reputed author. 

 He was Jones's pupil, and a relation by marriage.

233 pp., eleven woodcuts : London. 

 1725. Eeprint. 



Written as a confutation of Charleton's " Chorea Gigantum," 1663; which 

 book Webb declares to be a " capricious conceit." Urges that Inigo Jones 

 was the first to actually "take the measure" of any of the stones of 

 Stonehenge ; and upholds his theory assigning the erection of the monu- 

 ment to the Eomans. 



Westropp, H. M. 1866. [Discussion on Stonehenge, 

 Avebury, etc.]. Athenceum, i., 53. 



The ages of stone and bronze in Britain were much later than the corres- 

 ponding epochs in Italy, Egypt, etc. The Britons were in the Stone Age 

 at the time of Caesar's invasion ; and Stonehenge (a sepulchral structure) 

 may belong to this or a rather later date. 



1869. Cromlechs, etc. Journ. Ethnol. Soc, n.s., I., 53 — 59. 



" Stonehenge is only a further development on a more extensive and 

 grander scale of the rude cromlech and circle ; as the pyramid is of the 

 simple mound.'' Gives references to the existence of stone monuments in 

 many countries.
