4to. 16 pp. Later decorated paper wrappers. Very rare account of the various earthquakes that occurred in the world, and in particular in Lisbon in the years 1356 and 1531, followed by the translation of a letter sent from Peru by a Spaniard to his friend in Sevilla describing seismic phenomena and earthquakes that had taken place in Africa in 1751. The letter is here given in Portuguese translation. This curious publication on earthquakes was published less than four years before the Great Lisbon earthquake of 1755, which, together with the ensuing tsunami, destroyed the city and claimed some 50,000 lives. - Slightly browned and soiled in the margins, especially on the title-page. Some stains to the final three leaves and last leaf repaired, not affecting the text. In good condition. - OCLC 29054447 (only 4 copies). Porbase (2 copies).

Pamphlet, 8vo, sewn, later paper spine, 21 pp. Signatures on front wrapper and title, chip on corner of back wrapper, normal aging and browning; a very good copy. In February and March of 1750, London was rocked by earthquakes. This work, which is attributed to Joseph Besse, the Quaker writer, is a response to the Bishop of London's comments on the recent earthquakes. He seems to take exception to the bishop's notion that the earthquakes were a wake up call to get people to back on the right path. The bishop apparently blamed the earthquakes on the sinfulness of man. The author of this work found that to be arrogant to assume an understanding of perhaps divine events. He felt we didn't need a bishop or profit tell inform people they were sinners. Jenkins in his listing of this pamphlet indicates that it contains some scientific reflection in the work, and there is some historical commentary on earthquakes too. Jenkins 1991.

First edition and only edition of this history of Lima's seismic activity since the colonial era, and its effect upon the development of Peru's coastal capital, in order to establish patterns and better predict future events. Manuel de Odriozola (1804-1889) was a Peruvian Colonel of cavalry and leading figure of the Independance of Peru, the director of the National Library of Peru from 1875-81, and a scholar most known for his Peruvian bibliographies. This work was his first publication. An uncommon work: Library Hub only locates two copies in the UK (Oxford, BL), WorldCat adds single copies in Peru and Europe, and ten in North America. Sabin 56731. Octavo. A folding map of Callao also showing a panoramic view of it prior to its destruction by an earthquake-triggered tsunami in 1746, and 2 folding astronomical tables recording the conjunctions between the sun and moon and their connection to the frequency of tremors. Later blind-tooled green roan, lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers. Light wear to extremities, small wormholes to spine foot, two tears to first table expertly repaired, soiling to title, dedication page and last two pages, some spotting, else a very good copy.
