FOOTNOTES:
[1] The publication of “Gothic Architecture, Improved by Rules and
Proportions,” by B. and T. Langley, in 1742, does not invalidate
this statement, for the illustrations are intended to show how a
kind of Gothic detail might be applied to a kind of classic “order.”
The “Historical Dissertation on Gothic Architecture,” attached by
way of introduction, is absolutely negligible in the light of modern
knowledge, and could have helped nobody to a comprehension of the
subject.

refers to his first visit. He was back in England before Twelfth Night,
1605, as he designed the “Masque of Blackness,” which was produced on
that day. (See Peter Cunningham’s “Life of Inigo Jones.”)

[18] In the year 1620, King James I., being at Wilton on one of his
progresses, sent for Inigo Jones, and instructed him to produce out of
his own practice in architecture and experience in antiquities abroad,
what he could discover about Stonehenge. The “few undigested notes”
which Jones made were amplified by John Webb and published by him as
“Stone-Heng Restored” in 1655. They went to show that Stonehenge was
a Roman temple. A Dr. Charleton attacked this conclusion in a pamphlet
called “Chorea Gigantum,” whereupon Webb retaliated in his “Vindication
of Stone-Heng Restored.” From the antiquarian point of view the
controversy is of no value, but it is interesting because of the
references to Inigo Jones.

quoted as using the phrase “designing with his pen,” and not (as
biographers have freely supposed) as having given Jones a certificate
of ability.

[31] In an article by Mr. W. Grant Keith, published in the _Burlington
Magazine_ of January 1913, are given some reproductions of half a dozen
drawings by Inigo Jones, which are among the most carefully finished
specimens of his handiwork that survive. They include a ceiling for
Wilton, 1649, and some decorative work at Oatlands Palace in Surrey.
[32] Mostly preserved at Chatsworth; there are also a few at the
British Museum.
[33] It has not been found possible to illustrate this scene, as was
intended, owing to the war having rendered the drawings at Chatsworth
inaccessible for the time being.
