Principal Text Books. 



But even this reduced list of workers contains forty-six names ; 

 and includes many books to which the student may find it difficult 

 to obtain access. The best " first books " are beyond all question 

 the two volumes upon "Stonehenge and its Barrows" (1876); and 

 "Abury Illustrated" (1858); by Mr. W. Long. 1 Next to these 

 : may be placed Mr. Barclay's " Stonehenge and its Earthworks " 

 (1895), with its admirable illustrations, reproductions of Prof. 

 Petrie's map, etc. The worker who can add to these Stukeley's 

 twin volumes upon " Abury " and " Stonehenge " 2 may consider 

 himself fairly well equipped for the study of the latest developments 

 as set forth by Lady Antrobus, Sir K Lockyer, and Mr. W. Gowland. 



1 Long's Stonehenge can still be obtained from Mr. D. Owen, Bank Chambers, 

 Devizes ; price 7*. 6d. 



2 Brown & Co., Canal, Salisbury, usually have copies of these fine old folios 

 in stock.
