" 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 this journal came into 

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

 enced in the British Islands for at least four centuries. A brief notice of the occurrence 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 with his colleague, Mr. 

 William White. The book consists of about 225 pages of readable matter, with four maps and 

 numerous illustrations, aud the Essex Field Club 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 occupy themselves with the important question of Construction in 

 Earthquake countries " — Nature, January 21st, i?86.

"'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, Mr. 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 local lists." —
