"Fortunately for this Country, we have not been called upon to notice a report of such 

 an Earthquake as that which is chronicled in the volume before us since th-s journal came 

 into existence. Indeed, the authors state that no shock approaching it in intensity has been 

 experienced in the British Inlands for at least four centuries. A brief notice of the occur- 

 rence was given in our columns (vol. xxx., pp. 17 and 60) by Mr. Topley, and we now have 

 a complete scientific account drawn up by i'rof. R. Meldola, and presented to the Essex 

 Field Club as a special memoir, embodying the results of his investi.;ation in conjunction 

 r v/ith his colleague, Mr. William White. The book consists of about 225 pages of readable 

 matter, with four maps and numerous illustrations, and the Essex Field Ciub has certainly 

 earned the gratitude of scientific men in enabling the authors to give publicity to this final 

 result of their labour. . . . . . . Many illustrations of peculiar forms of damage are 



given, and there can be no doubt that the observations recorded in this section will be not 

 only of local interest, but also of use to engineers and others who oc;upy themselves with 



the important question of Construction in Earthquake Countries "

" This work .... does equal credit to the enterprise of the Essex Field Club and 

 the author. With the assistance of many fellow-workers, both in and without the county, 

 Rlr. Christy has striven to improve on the plans of the local lists which have hitherto appeared ; 

 and not only has he been fairly successful in this respect, but he has undoubtedly introduced 

 some new and useful features. . . . The letterpress is, as a rule, written with considerable 

 discrimination. . . . The work is thoroughly well done, and is a valuable addition to our 

 iDCal lists." — Athenceum.
