EARTHQUAKES IN ENGLAND. The recorded.
cases of British earthquakes amount to more
than 160, of which more than 40 have happened in the very
region so lately affected. The first recorded instance is in
A.D. 974, by Simeon Dunelmensis ; and the same author
tells us that, in the earthquake of 1089, which occurred in
the third hour of the night, houses were seen to leap up-
wards and return to their positions. In that of Dec. 10,
1117, which happened in the middle of the night, Matthew
of Westminster declares that the " moon appeared the
colour of blood ;" but he outdoes this in his account of the
earthquake of December 5, 1274, which, he says, was ac-
companied by thunder and lightning, a comet, and a fiery
dragon. Polydore Virgil adds the phenomenoa of "a rain
of blood " in the Pays de Galles. But we will only quote
one more case, that of the fisherman of Oxford in the earth-
quake of 1683. The man was fishing on the Cherwell, when
he perceived the boat to tremble under him, and " the little
fish showed signs of alarm." Even in works high in po-
pular estimation the facts stated are not strictly reliable.
For example, the evidence of Mrs. Graham (Lady Callcott)
has been adduced to prove that in the earthquake of 1822
the whole coast of Chili was uplifted from 4 to 5 feet, the
proof offered being the alleged fact that a ship of war in the
Bay of Quinten, which before the earthquake was an iso-
lated wreck, after the shock was accessible to persons from
the shore. Against this we have the recorded evidence of
Mr. Hugh Cuming, the well-known conchologist, and
Lieut. Bower. If we are constrained to admit the perma-
nent upheaval of land, we must seek a cause independent of
earthquakes, which are but the subsidiary and transient
phenomena of concussions or ruptures.—London .Revieta.
