Letter to the Editor. On the Remains of Stonehenge
Jonathan Oldbuck
Genre: | Letter, Rejoinder |
Subjects: | Geology, Archaeology |
In response to an earlier article on Stonehenge, Oldbuck (the titular character in Walter Scott's The Antiquary) makes various observations, concluding with a correction of the earlier writer's assertion that the stones had been brought from Purbeck. He offers his credentials as 'a geologist and rambler through the isle of Purbeck' (301). | |
