"Stonehenge, a Temple Restor'd to the British Druids" by William Stukeley is a historical account written in the early 18th century. The book explores the origins and significance of Stonehenge, positing that it was built by the ancient Druids as a temple. Stukeley's investigation encompasses the physical description of the ruins, their architectural features, and the cultural context surrounding them, particularly concerning the Druids' religious practices. The opening of the text introduces Stukeley's fascination with ancient structures and outlines his systematic approach to studying the works of the Druids. He describes his summers spent measuring and contemplating the stone circles across Britain, including the famous Stonehenge. Stukeley argues that these monuments reflect a deep continuity of religious practice from ancient times, positioning the Druids within a historical lineage that traces back to patriarchal religions. His detailed reflection sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of the site's dimensions, material origins, and its place in the broader narrative of British history, revealing the book's intent to preserve and illuminate the memory of these ancient wonders.
