This work is a reply to Inigo Jones's "The Most Notable Antiquity of Great Britain", 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, "To 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 founders", 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. This was then attacked by John Webb's reply defending Jones in 1665.
