RESTORING OLD VIRGINIA
Engraving at °view]' University helps
Restoration of Ancient Capitol
to Old- Time Dignity.
Not long ago several sketches of
the Old Fort, Toronto, made by a
British oilicer in the year 1805, were
discovered. in England. As the draw-
ings are the only pictures of the fort
of that period, they are most valuable
historically in showing the various
buildings` of the garrison eight years
before the -Americans destroyed it.
Hitherto, there had bean some doubt
as to just, what the fort looked like:
in the first decade of the nineteenth
century. The sketches' purchased by
Mr. Doughty of the Canadian Ar-
chives, Ottawa, were, in part, repro-
duced in the press at the time, and if
at some ;future date. Torontonians
might desire' to reconstruct, the most
historic landmark ide that city, the
drawings would furnish the inform-
ation desired, says an article in the,
Toronto Telegram.
In this connection` it Is Interesting
to : see that-a'.qualnt old engraving
discovered in.the Bodleian Library at
Oxford University is being studied for
the recreation of part of Williams-
burg, the ancient capital of Virginia.
A research' worker engaged in obtain-
ing information for the restoration to:
Williamsburg by John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., of much of its old Colonial dig-
nity, found an engraved copper plate
among the Bodleian records. This
discovery has been regarded as the
most important step in theentire re-
search, it seems.
On the plate is engraved a view of
the first capitol. known as suche in
North Amerit — older by far than
the first capitol in Washington, which
was burned 'down by a British force
in 1814, as a return call for the burn.

York (Toronto), leas than a year be-
,fore. Another view shows the first

the oldest academic building in .the
Colonies; a fourth, the first Indian
school. Another shows the house of
the president of William and Mary
College—the latter an institution
still flourishing, and from which
graduated Christopher Robinson, one
of the drat barristers enrolled in To-
ronto and founder of a celebrated
Canadian legal family, the fourth
generation of which is practicing
In. that city.
The capitol, the palace and the
main building of a Virginian college,
which was named after William of
Orange and his queen, are the three
major buildingsof the restoration,
For snore than two years research
workers had sought accurate views of
these three buildings, searching every
possible source in America and Eng-
land_ The Bodleian plate provided
all in a single find,
The discovery was made by Miss
Mary Goodwin, of Williamsburg, and
a print was immediately made from
the engraving and transmitted by ra-
dio to the'United States, teesto ation
officials, however, reported that their
architects, working chiefly from writ-
ten records and arehaeploaical 1Uua-
ings, had 'prepared drawings before
the discovery was made, which are
now found to be almost identical w'th
the engraved vlews, The plata is,
nevertheless, held to be *most .valu-
able as corroborative evidence.
Apparently no other authentic pir-
ture of the buildings in that specie
exists, the Oxford plate having e-'-
dently been prepared betwe-n 1732
when the college president's Itceul:
was erected, and 1746. schen tiro lire:

Brafferton Indian Schdol, shown cr
the plate, was erected In 1723, and
presumably amplified in the onsu'np
200 years. It still stands and is still
in use, though for white college pur-
poses. The view of William and Mary
Colege is a front one. Erected in
1695, it is the oldest academie bu'ld-
ing in the United' States, and saidSi'
be the only definite example c,n this
continent of Sir Christopher Wren's

building three times, but the walla
are largely original and the picture
shows the place as it looked after the
first fire of 1705.
