About This Book

An architect's treatise reconstructs and analyzes Stonehenge, offering measured descriptions, proportional and geometric arguments, and comparative references to classical monuments. It surveys historical opinions, contests attribution to Druids, and proposes a reasoned restoration based on field observation and continental experience. The work blends antiquarian description, architectural theory, and illustrative reconstruction to defend and elucidate the monument's original design and construction.
