THE most notable ANTIQUITY OF _GREAT BRITAIN_, vulgarly called STONE-HENG ON _SALISBURY PLAIN_.
RESTORED By _INIGO JONES_ Esquire, Architect Generall to the late KING.
_LONDON_, Printed by _James Flesher_ for _Daniel Pakeman_ at the sign of the _Rainbow_ in _Fleetstreet_, and _Laurence Chapman_ next door to the Fountain Tavern in the _Strand_. 1655.
TO The Right Honourable PHILIP Earle of _Pembroke_ and _Montgomerie_, Baron _Herbert_ of _Caerdiff_ and _Sherland_, Lord _Parr_ and _Rosse_ of _Kendall_, Lo: _Fitzhugh Marmyon_ and Saint _Quintin_ &c. _STONE-HENG_ restored is humbly dedicated by Your Loᵖˢ devoted servant _John Webb_.
This Discourse of _Stone-heng_ is moulded off, and cast into a rude Form, from some few indigested notes of the late judicious _Architect_, the _Vitruvius_ of his age _Inigo Jones_. That so venerable an _Antiquity_ might not perish, but the world made beholding to him for restoring it to light, the desires of severall his learned _Friends_ have encouraged me to compose this Treatise. Had he survived to have done it with his own hand, there had needed no Apology. Such as it is, I make now yours. Accept it in _his name_, from
