Abstract
EARTHQUAKES are so rarely observed in England, that an exceptional interest attaches to that of April 22, an interest far in excess of that due to its intrinsic importance. Fortunately the earthquake is exceptional in another sense. It is seldom that a shock results in so small a loss of human life in proportion to the damage done to houses.
