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

 an Earthquake a* 'hat which is chronicleti in the valunie bclore us since th's journal came 

 into existence. IrdeeH, the authors state that no shock appro.aching it in intensity has been 

 experienced in the British 1-lands 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 compi-'te scientific account drawn up by I'rof R. Meldola. and presented to the Es<ex 

 Field Club as a i-pecial memoir, embodyinp; the results of hi* investigation in conjunction 

 v/i'th his colleague, Mr. William White. The book con>ists of about 225 pages of readaMe 

 matter, with four map.s and nnmeroas illust'atious, and the Essex Field Club has certainly 

 e.ained 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 ob.serv.ations tecordcd in this section wi'l be not 

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



the important question of Construction in E irthquake Countries
