The Abbey of Kilkhampton; or, Monumental records for the year 1980. :
Faithfully transcribed from the original inscriptions, which are still perfect, and appear to be drawn up in a stile devoid of fulsome panegyric, or unmerited detraction; and compiled with a view to ascertain, with precision, the manners which prevailed in Great Britain during the last fifty years of the eighteenth century. [Eight lines of quotations in English and Latin].
