eruption within historic times was the
earthquake of 63. Moderate earth
ouakes followed at intervals until the
disturbance eliminated in the great
catastrophe of 70, destroying not only
Pompeii and Herculaneum, but Stabi@,
Retina, and Oplontlm.

lions which followed that depicted by
Bulwer, the most severe fell in 2O3,
472, 512, and 993. The first recorded
discharge Of lava since the last days of
Pompeii occurred in 1896, or thirty
years before the Normans conquered
England.
The first great modern eruption was
that of 1851, elet On years after the FL
