    | #228 This work, the materials of which have been accumulating for twenty-five years, is the result of innumerable rambles and rides over the Downs of North Wiltshire, and deals with one of the most important archeological districts in Europe. It consists of a large quarto volume, con- taining an account of all the Barrows, Camps, Roads, Dykes, Enclosures, Cromlechs, Circles, and other British and Roman stone-and earth- works of a most primitive district, with references to and extracts from the best authorities as well as figures of many of the various urns, and other objects found in Barrows, Views of Cromlechs, Plans of Camps, &c. Bound up with this volume in sections, are maps on the scale of 6 ins. to a mile, com- 1885 prising oné hundred square miles round Abury, and including thirteen miles from Kast to West, and eight miles from North to South being the great plateau of the North Wiltshire Downs, on which all the antiquities are shown and may be readily found and referred to by means of letters and figures. This is a reprint undertaken by the Wiltshire Archeological and Natural History Society, in consequence of more than one-third of the first edition, having-been destroyed at the binders in the great fire in Paternoster Row, in 1883.
