Hee knew nothing of Mr Greaves’s booke, Of the Roman foot, and Denarius, which would have been extremely usefull to him in determining with greater niceness and exactness the measure of the Old Roman Foot ... I am perswaded, that even a Roman Architect and Mathematician being judge when hee shall read the Latine translation of Mr Greav’s excellent booke, will acknowledge that our Countryman made use of better instruments, used greater care, and pursued truer and nicer methods in examining the several monuments of Antiquity, which Rome then afforded.'
