of the work are similar to those in Loggan's Oxonia
Illustrata published over 50 years earlier, commencing
with a double-prospect of the city of Oxford each
containing a numbered key, a plan of the city after Agas'
plan of 1588. There is a double prospect of the interior
of the Bodleian Library after Loggan and a number of
architectural plans of the colleges. More importantly the
work includes 10 fine large engravings of the colleges
of Magdalen, Corpus, Wadham, St. Johns, Queens,
New, Oriel, Trinity, Pembroke and Brasenose showing
how they were at the beginning of the 18th Century.
They are in fact, in many instances the only visual
records of the buildings at this time in their history.
