I

I WILL now^ if my readers are not too tired with
having been led by me round and round the mazy
circles of Abury^ proceed onward in my walk^ and^ I
hope^ that they will now permit me to take them to the
Temple of Mercury, whose orbit was, according to this
system, the next in juxta-position to that of the Sun.
This was, in my opinion, represented by an earthen-
work, situate on the brow of a hill, overlooking the vale
of Pewsey to the south, and known by the name of
Walker's Hill. When I laid open my design of proving
the existence of a series of ancient religious temples
placed on a meridional line, I never pledged myself, that
they were all of stone, nor is it necessary, that they
should all so be. The earth was represented by an
earthen mound, though not as a temple, and the planets.
