Charleton (Walter). Chorea Gigantum, or, the most Famous Antiquity of Great-Britain, Vulgarly called Stone-Heng, Standing on Salisbury Plain, Restored to the Danes, 1st ed., pub. Henry Herringham, 1663, pp.[16],64, preliminary imprimatur leaf present, title printed in red & black, two woodcut plts. (including one folding), recent endpapers, 19th c. speckled calf, neatly rebacked, slim 4to. Armorial bookplate of William Hanbury Esq. of Kelmarsh in Northamptonshire. This work is a reply to Inigo Jones’s ÒThe Most Notable Antiquity of Great BritainÓ, which argued that Stonehenge had been built by the Romans. The main text is preceded by two poems addressed to Charleton by Robert Howard and John Dryden respectively. The poem by Dryden is the first printing of his poem, ÒTo my Honour’d Friend, Dr Charleton, on his learned and useful Works; and more particularly this of Stone-heng, by him restored to the true foundersÓ, which appears on b2r/v. Alterations were made to Dryden’s verses as the book was going through the press and this copy is in the final corrected state. Dr. Walter Charleton (1619-1707) was a scholar and physician to Charles I. Macdonald 8ai; Wing C3665. (1)
