in the Noife from firft to laft ; it feemed to come 
from the Weft, and continued about 4/* cxcluftve of 
the Tremor, which lafted fome time after the Noife 
feemed to have ccafed. I found no Motion of the 
Floor, which is over a Cellar, upon a Level with 
other adjoining Ground-floors ; but the Doors of my 
Book-Prefles, at the Weft End of the Room, fhook 
took to and again, and the Rings on the Doors rat- 
tled exceedingly; but I was notfenfible of any Mo- 
tion of the other Doors on the Sides of the Room, near 
to fome of which I then flood. Su^h of the Fa* 
mily as were in Bed felt their Beds to be raifed up, 
and then fhook from Side to Side. 
A fenfible young Gentleman, who call’d upon me 
that Morning as he came from London , told me,

Weft. The fame Obfervatiou, he faid, others had

following Places around us ; At Merton , about a 
Mile S. W. from us, and at Mitcham , about 2 
Miles S. at Croydon 4 Miles S. fome Tiles fell 
from Houles ; it greatly alarmed the Inhabitants of 
Mreatiam , ab^ut a Mi e and a half E^ft of us; at 
Clapham , two Miles and a 'half N. a Chimney, and 
other Paits of a Building fell down; at Wandf- 
worth , two Miles N. W. the Shock was very great; 
efpecially near the Side of the Thames. It was felt 
likcwife at Epfom , about nine Miles S. W. from us; 
but how much farther, my Information does not 
fay.
