On Earthquakes in Devonshire from the Earliest Records to the Present Time: Second Supplement to Paper

Trans. Devon Assoc., 1887, Vol XIX, pp. 547-554.

by

Edward Parfitt

Prepared by Michael Steer

Parts of Devonshire have from time immemorial been shaken by earthquakes. This supplement to Mr Parfitt’s paper, read at the Association’s July 1887 Plympton meeting focusses mainly on reports from correspondents on the earthquake shocks experienced in January 1886, that seem to have been delivered with the greatest force somewhere near Dartmouth. Many of the reports were obtained from material published in the Western Morning News of January 5th, 1886, and entitled “Earthquake Shock in the South Hams”.
