The year 1750 — during which, on September 30th, the 
shock at Daventry, in Northamptonshire, occurred — was re- 
markable for thunder and lightning throughout England 
(Priestley, Hist., 356). In 1822 £< an extraordinary number 
of violent thunderstorms, accompanied by earthquakes and 
simultaneous eruptions of Mount Vesuvius,” occurred in 
France and over a great part of the Continent (Anderson on 
Lightning, p. 76). In July, 1829, earthquakes occurred in 
Hungary and in Spain, and remarkable thunderstorms in 
many parts of Europe (Mallet). In 1880, and again in 1883, 
thunderstorms and earthquakes were very prevalent in many
