But it is objected, If _Stoneheng_ a _Roman_ work, how comes it, no _Roman_ Author makes mention of it? I answer, their Historians used not to commit to writing every particular work, or action the _Romans_ performed: if so, how vast would their volumes have been? _Stoneheng_ ’tis granted, is much admired by us, yet, how far more admirable works were the _Romans_ Founders of, not mentioned in any of their ancient stories? That notable bridge invented and built by _Cæsar_, for passing his Army over the _Rhine_, himself at large describes, remembring little or nothing neverthelesse concerning divers other as great works in _Gaul_ and _Batavia_, suppos’d to be performed by him also. _Dion_, _Herodian_, _Eutropius_ and other their Historians tell us, the _Romans_ built the so famed wall, commonly by us called the _Picts wall_, extending crosseover our Island from the _Irish_ Sea to the _German_ Ocean, above fourscore _Italian_ miles in length, with many towers and fortresses erected upon it; when works of as great admiration in _Britain_ they have past in silence: those wonderfull causeys made throughout the land, by dreining and drying up Fens, levelling hils, raising valleys, and paving them with stones of such breadth, that Wains might without danger passe one by another, not any ancient _Roman_ Author (for ought appears) directly mentioning. Yet, who doubts them _Roman_ works? _I dare confidently avouch, the Romans by little and little founded and raised them up_, saith _Camden_. And why? mark I pray, because, whilst _Agricola_ governed _Britain_, _Tacitus_ tels us, _severall ways were enjoyned_. If then, because _Tacitus_ affirms in generall terms only, _severall ways enjoyned_, _Camden_ confidently concludes them _Roman works_, no _Roman_ History otherwise remembring them; Why may it not, the same _Tacitus_ telling us in like manner, _Agicola exhorted the Britans in private, and helpt them in common, to build Temples, Houses, and Places of publick resort_, as peremptorily be inferr’d, _Stoneheng_ was a work built by the _Romans_, though not particularly remembred by them in their stories? In a word, _Temples_ and places of publick resort, the _Romans_ built here, and were the first that did so, leaving it to after ages to find out by their _Manner_ of _building_, _Order_ in _building_, and _Power_ and _Means_ for _building_, such lofty ruines, as appears in this _Antiquity_, could be remains of none but _Roman_ building.
