would read them, but Just now perhaps
these scientific observations may be Of
interest. The Importance OF earthquakes
consist not in the property they destroy
or the persons they Kill, but n tic I'M
prcssions they produce OF the mental
and moral character of large bodies Of
people. Comparing small things with
great, the fractures and dlsIocations they
produce among the loose clements of
human souls exceeds the alterations they
work in the face OF physical nature. l
have no doubt the denloralization con-
seQuent on them has determined The fate
of nations md the course OF civilization.
A scientific consideration Of the,l might
allay or dispel such evil influence, and
hone these notes Will be Of service to
Won Very trnlv
