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