Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Early Recollections, Vol. 2 of 2: Chiefly Relating to the Late Samuel Taylor Coleridge, During His Long Residence in Bristol
We felt a smart earthquake the morning after our arrival here. These shocks alarm the Por tuguese dreadfully; and indeed it is the most terrifying sensation you can conceive. One man jumped out of bed and ran down to the stable, to ride off almost naked as he was. Another, more considerately put out his candle, because I know, (said he) the fire does more harm than the earthquake.' The rums of the great earthquake are not yet removed entirely.
