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

 an Earthquake as that whicli is chronicled in the volume before us since this journal came 

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

 experienced in the British Islands for at least lour 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 Prof. R. Meldola. and presented to the Essex 

 Field Club as a special memoir, embodying the results of his investigation in conjunction 

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

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

 cained 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 wi'l 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 "

 Mr. Christy has viriven to improve on the plans of ihe loc.^1 li^ts which have hitherto appeared ; 

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