208 Sir WILLIAM Hamilton’s Account of &c. 
Royal Academy of Naples is publiffied, with maps, plans, and 
drawings, of the curious fpots I have defcribed, this rude and 
imperfect account will, I flatter my felt, be ot u(e : without 
the help of plans and drawings you well know, Sir, the gLeat 
difficulty there is in making one’s felf intelligible on fuch a 
fubjea. The inclofed letter, which I received whilft 1 was in 
Calabria Ultra, from the Marquis Ippolito, a gentleman of 
Catanzaro, and an able naturalift, will give you the particulars 
of the phenomena that have been produced by the late earth- 
quakes in Calabria Citra, my time having permitted me to vifit 
only a part of that province. 1 once more then crave your 
kind indulgence, and that of the members of our resettable 
Society, if you ffiould think proper to communicate this hafty 
paper to them. 
I have the honour to be, &c.
