THE GRAND ERUPTION OF VESUVIUS IN 1906 655 



pointed out that the greatest of Calabrian earthquakes, that of 

 1783, followed upon grand eruptions of both Vulcano and Etna, 

 The new eruption of Vesuvius, the greatest since 1631, follows close 

 upon the greatest earthquake in near-lying territory for more than 

 a century, not long after which had occurred the really important 

 eruption of 1794.
