Evidence: | 'In the year 1655. was published by Mr Web a Booke intituled
Stonehenge-restored (but writt by Mr Inigo Jones) which I read with great
delight: there is a great deale of Learning in it: but, having compared his
Scheme with the Monument it self, I found he had not dealt fairly: but had
made a Lesbians rule, which is conformed to the stone: that is, he framed
the Monument to his own Hypothesis, which is much differing from the Thing
it self. This gave me an edge to make more researches.' |
