Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine 1857 V4 Pages 307-363. The first person who examined it with attention was John Aubrey, whose memory will long be preserved by his graphic description of persons and things connected with his native county, Wiltshire. As he was only in his 23rd year when he made his discovery of Abury, and as the work in which he has preserved his early reminiscences of it (the "Monumenta Britannica" now in the Bodleian Library), though often partially quoted by various writers, has never yet been fully published; it may not be amiss to take the present opportunity of presenting to the reader the entire passages relating to this place1:—
"I was inclin'd by my Genius from my childhood to the love of antiquities: and my Fate dropt me in a countrey most suitable for such enquiries.
"Salisbury-plaines, and Stonehenge I had known from eight years old: but, I never saw the Countrey about Marleboruogh, till Christmas 1648: being then invited to the Lord Francis Seymour's, by the Honorable Mr. Charles Seymour2, with whom I had the honor to be intimately acquainted, and whose Friendship I ought to mention with a profound respect to his memorie.
