Thus far the Alderman. But we have had many advices from all hands, at the first, and second meetings of the Royal Society, for the winter season; with further particulars relating to this great concussion. That it was felt at the same time, at _Rugby_ in _Warwickshire_, and reach'd to _Warwick_, at _Lutterworth_, in _Leicestershire_: at _Leicester_, and round about. It extended itself to _Coventry_, _Derby_, _Nottingham_, _Newark_; then came eastward to _Harborough_, _Towcester_, _Northampton_, _Rowel_, _Kettering_, _Wellingborough_, _Oundle_, in _Northamptonshire_; _Uppingham_, _Oakham_ in _Rutland_; _Stamford_, _Bourn_, _Grantham_, _Spalding_, _Boston_, and to _Lincoln_ in _Lincolnshire_; _Holbech_, and all _Holland_ in that county. _Peterborough_, _Wisbech_, in the isle of _Ely_; together with all the intermediate, and adjacent places. Then it passed over the whole breadth of _Ely_ fen: was felt at _Mildenhall_, and reach'd to _Calford_ by _Bury_ in _Suffolk_, and the country thereabouts; of which we had notice from lady _Cornwallis_. An extent from _Warwick_ to _Bury_ of about 100 miles in length; and generally speaking, 40 miles in breadth. And this vast space was pervaded by this amazing motion, as far as we can get any satisfaction, in the same instant of time. They describe it, that the houses totter'd, and seem'd to heave up, and down: tho' it lasted but a few seconds. It was attended with a rushing noise, as if the houses were falling, and people were universally so affrighted, as to run out; imagining that their own, or their neighbours houses were tumbling on their heads. In the villages around, the people being generally at divine service, were much alarm'd: both with the noise, which exceeded all the thunder they had ever heard, beyond compare: and with the great shock accompanying; which was like somewhat, as they imagin'd, that rush'd against the church-walls, and roof. Some thinking the pillars crack'd, many that the beams of the roof were disjointed; and all, that the whole was falling. And happy were they that could get out first. Many people fancied, that nests of drawers, and cabinets, or the like heavy things, were fallen down above stairs: or that chimnies had broke thro' the roof of the house: or that some persons fell down stairs: and the like. Some perceived the crackling of inward wainscots or partitions: as Dr. _Mortimer_ and I, observ'd in our first and second shocks at _London_. A few slates, tiles, and parts of chimneys fell from some houses: pewter, china, glasses and brass from shelves. A clock bell, chamber bell sometime struck: windows universally rattled, and the like circumstances of tremor.
