First sentence: ALTHOUGH no recent or noteworthy manifestation of either seismic or volcanic force has made the present an especially appropriate time to review the records of the past, and collect the scattered and imperfect accounts of such seismic phenomena as have been noticed in New England in the comparatively short period covered by the observation of civilized nations, yet the steadily increasing interest in these studies will, perhaps, render useful a compilation of such facts as possess historical authenticity, which may serve as a basis for the observations which must be made in the field.
