Addendum

Paul Screeton in Quicksilver Heritage cites two late publications by Mann:
Moles of Men: Druid Temple near Clydebank (pr<ivate>, 1945).
Letter in Country Life, 8 June 1945, <page 1000,> concerning alinements several miles long and directed towards sunrise and sunset points.

Screeton’s book discusses briefly, but with references, some of the topics in which Mann was particularly interested.

This Web version has been scanned in from the 1977 edition, which was duplicated from typewritten stencils. Misprints (always difficult to avoid in stencilled copy) have been corrected, and some small cosmetic changes have been made. Mann’s original typescripts were unfortunately no longer available for comparison.

The diagrams in “Salisbury Plain” are not by Mann but were created for the 1977 edition in an attempt to illustrate his points. Those in “The Celestial Spheres” were redrawn in 1977 from Mann’s originals.
