Stonehenge, A Temple Restor'd to the British Druids, by William Stukeley, [1740], at sacred-texts.com
| STonehenge the latest of the Druid temples, | |
| Older than the time of the Saxons and Danes, | |
| Older than the time of the Roman Britons, | |
| Older than the time of the Belgæ, who preceded the Roman invasion, | |
| The history of the Belgæ seated about Stonehenge, in Cæsar's time, | |
| Our Welsh the remains of the Belgæ, | |
| The Cimbrians the same, | |
| Of the Wansdike: made by Divitiacus, | |
| Of Vespasian's camp Ambresbury, | |
| The stones of Stonehenge are from the gray weathers on Marlborough downs, | |
| Of their nature, magnitude, weight, | |
| Of their number, | |
| 
 | 
 | 
| Mr. Webb's drawings of Stonehenge false, | |
| Absurd to compare the work to Roman or Grecian orders, | |
| The cell not formd from three equilateral triangles, | |
| But one entrance into the area, | |
| He makes one side of the cell out of a bit of a loose stone, | |
| He has turnd the cell a sixth part from its true situation, | |
| The cell not a hexagon, but an oval, | |
| Demonstrated by Lord Pembroke's measure, | |
| Demonstrated by trigonometry, | |
| Proved by the surgeons amphitheater, London, being an imitation thereof | |
| Stonehenge not made by the Roman foot, | |
| Webb makes the inner circle, of thirty stones, instead of forty, | |
| He contracts 119 feet to 43, | |
| He draws a stone on the vallum 120 foot out of its true place, | |
| Stonehenge not a monument, | |
|

| The Druids came with an oriental colony, upon the first Celtic inhabitants, | |
| Introducd here by the Tyrian Hercules, | |
| The colony were Phnicians or Arabians, | |
| They found out our tin mines, | |
| The Druids came bitter about Abraham's time or soon after, | |
| 
 | |
| They were of the patriarchal religion, | |
| Which was the same as christianity, | |
| Stonehenge provd the work of the Druids from the infinite number of the like, all over the Britannic isles, | |
| Farther suggestions: because accounted sacred, made by magic, medicinal, came from Ireland, Spain, Afric, Egypt. In some places the name of Druids remaining, | |
| From the antiquities dug up about them, | |
| Schetland isles the Hyperboreans of the Greeks, thence Abaris the Pythagorean philosopher, | |
| Stonehenge not built by the Saxons, deduced from its name, | |
| Demonstrated to be older than Roman times, | |
| Such in countries never conquered by the Romans, | |
| Stonehenge and such works built by the Phnician colony, | |
| The cathedral of the Arch-Druid, | |
| Called antiently the Ambres, | |
| Thence Vespasian's camp, and Ambresbury namd, | |
| Stonehenge calld choir gaur: the great church or cathedral, | |
| Made with mortaise and tenon, unusual with the Romans, | |
| Made by the ancient Hebrew, Phnician cubit, | |
| Its proportion to our foot, | |
| The ancient decem-pedum, | |
| The Druids were geometricians, | |
| Knew the use of the compass, | |
| They carried a little ax to cut down misletoe, | |
| The Druids letter, | |

| They practised chastity, before officiating, | ibid. | 
| The priests wore white linen surplices at the time of officiating, | |
| Their publick demotion was calld praying, or invoking, in the NAME, | |
| They believd a future state, | |
| They gave notice of religious festivals by fire, | |
| Those were the quarterly sacrifices, | ibid. | 
| The manner of sacrificing, | |
| They usd water for purification, | |
