Dealer Notes
Published as part of the Contemporary Science Series, edited by Havelock Ellis, this is a study of eight individual earthquakes from the second half of the 19th century, "... giving brief, though detailed, accounts of individual earthquakes rather than a discussion of the phenomena and distribution of earthquakes in general." Davison, a mathematician and noted early seismologist, regularly published similar pieces in general scientific and geological journals.
