fpecimens of Ancient Architecture, selected from the church, being proper to illustrate the writer's differtation on the progrefs of the aforefaid art. The fifth plate, p. 177, confifts of two subjects, the East View of the Weft-gate of the City, and the North West Aspect of the Cathedral; the north caft view of the latter, fhewing the different styles of its architecture, having been given in a folio plate in the former volume. The drawings for this plate were taken in the year 1789, fince which time confiderable alterations have taken place in the Weft-gate. In particular, a paffage has been opened through the north fide of it, where the steps and door are reprefented, that then led into a dungeon. The author has, on every occafion, given the preference to thofe drawings which represent his fubjects in their more ancient state.
The fixth plate, p. 229, which belongs to the Supplement, contains three views, viz. the Outside of St. Peter's Chapel to the fouth, the Inside of it, from the altar to about the middle, and St. Peter's Porch, once the Weft door of St. Mary Magdalen's church on the hill.
The last plate confifts of three Ichnographical Charts, proper for underftanding the descriptions of the City, Environs, and Cathedral of Winchefter. The circumftance of their being drawn from sketches which the writer himself made, from the want of a regular ichnographical furveyor, will apologize for any technical defects that may be discovered in them.
All the aforefaid views were drawn by the ingenious Mr. JAMES CAVE, of this city, and engraved by Mr. JOHN PASS, of Pentonville, except those of the fifth plate, which were executed by Mr. BASIRE, from drawings of the celebrated Mr. JOHN CARTER.
The author is sorry to have remarked several errata in the letter engraving of the plates, which, however, will be excused by those who know that this is a separate department of the art, and executed after the views themselves have been revised. At the bottom of the Frontispicce, for inclosure, read enclosure, and for Alter, read Altar. In the plate of St. Cross, at the bottom, for insipient pointed arch, read incipient; and in that of the King's House, in the title of Sir C. Wren, for Equiti, read Equitis. In the Ichnography of the Cathedral, two or three spaces, which ought to have been left vacant for door ways, are filled up.
