ve the surface of the earth, and was not
evidently part of and adjoining to another, to be a distinct and separate
body or stone by itself.
The form of this monument is not only described but delineated in most
authors, and, indeed, it is hard to know the first but by the last. The
figure was at first circular, and there were at least four rows or
circles within one another. The main stones were placed upright, and
they were joined on the top by cross-stones, laid from one to another,
and fastened with vast mortises and tenons. Length of time has so
decayed them that not only most of the cross-stones which lay on the top
are fallen down, but many of the upright also, notwithstanding the weight
of them is so prodigious great. How they came thither, or from whence
(no stones of that kind being now to be found in that part of England
near it) is still the mystery, for they are of such immense bulk that no
engines or carriages which we have in use in this age could stir them.
Doubtless they had some method in former days in foreign countries, as
well as here, to move heavier weights than we find practicable now. How
else did Solomon's workmen build the battlement or additional wall to
support the precipice of Mount Moriah, on which the Temple was built,
which was all built of stones of Parian marble, each stone being forty
cubits long and fourteen cubits broad, and eight cubits high or thick,
which, reckoning each cubit at two feet and a half of our measure (as the
learned agree to do), was one hundred feet long, thirty-five feet broad,
and twenty feet thick?
These stones at Stonehenge, as Mr. Camden describes them, and in which
others agree, were very large, though not so large--the upright stones
twenty-four feet high, seven feet broad, sixteen feet round, and weigh
twelve tons each; and the cross-stones on the top, which he calls
coronets, were six or seven tons. But this does not seem equal; for if
the cross-stones weighed six or seven tons, the others, as they appear
now
