and fome thought they heard fuch a Noife in the 
Floor beneath 5 fome thought the Quivering of the 
Ground continued longer than others apprehended ; 
But I have met with none who in this refped were 
fo accurate in their Obfervations, as my ingenious 
Friend Mr. Shippley, who afllircs me that he felt 
four didind Concuflions (the fecond and third of 
which were much more violent than the firft and 
lad) all within 3 or at mod 4 Seconds. 
As far as 1 can learn from the mod diligent In- 
quiry I can make, the Tremulation of the Ground 
extended itfelf at lead 60 Miles in Length from South 
to North, and from Wed to Ead about ay, or at 
moft 30. 
It did not affed either Newport -pagnel, or Tow- 
cejier , to the South; but was felt very near the lat- 
ter, and at lead 6 Miles South of this Place, and 
all the Way between that and Nottingham , and a 
little beyond it Eaftward ; it fcarce reached Higham- 
Ferrers , and was not felt at Coventry , and but very 
feeble within y or 6 Miles to the Ead of it: But its 
greateft Violence feemed to have been fpent on 
the Villages of Creaton , Cottesbrook , Kilmarfh, 
Maidwell , Evefton, and fome other lmall Towns 
within 4 or y Miles of Market -Har borough, modly 
between us and that Place. 
At Creaton , a Friend of mine was fo moved, as 
he fat at Dinner, that his Elbow druck againd the 
Wall, tho’ he fat at fome Diftance from it; the 
Roof of the Houfe gave a great Crack ; and in a 
neighbouring Houfe a brafs Kettle was thrown 
down, as in another a Plate of Pewter was.
