Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'The Essex Earthquake of 1884 was the most destructive ever known in Britain.... But it was not the first British earthquake; nor, contrary to popular belief, are such events uncommon.... The history of the event is sufficient to prove, however, that British earthquakes can be more than mere harmless curiosities.' The Times
