Nor shall I often trouble the Reader with the Multitude or Magnitude of Trees blown down, whole Parks ruin'd, fine Walks defac'd, and Orchards laid flat, and the like: and tho' I had, my self, the Curiosity to count the Number of Trees, in a Circuit I rode, over most part of _Kent_, in which being tired with the Number, I left off reckoning after I had gone on to 17000; and tho' I have great reason to believe I did not observe one half of the Quantity; yet in some Parts of _England_, as in _Devonshire_ especially, and the Counties of _Worcester_, _Gloucester_, and _Hereford_, which are full of very large Orchards of Fruit-Trees, they had much more mischief. In the Pursuit of this Work, I shall divide it into the following Chapters or Sections, that I may put it into as good Order as possible. 1. Of the Damage in the City of _London_, &c. 2. in the Counties. 3.} {in the Royal Navy. } _On the Water_ { 4.} {to Shipping in general. 5. by Earthquake. 6. by High Tides. 7.

Of the Damages in the City of London, and Parts adjacent_ Indeed the City was a strange Spectacle, the Morning after the Storm, as soon as the People could put their Heads out of Doors: though I believe, every Body expected the Destruction was bad enough; yet I question very much, if any Body believed the Hundredth Part of what they saw. The Streets lay so covered with Tiles and Slates, from the Tops of the Houses, especially in the Out-parts, that the Quantity is incredible: and the Houses were so universally stript, that all the Tiles in Fifty Miles round would be able to repair but a small Part of it. Something may be guest at on this Head, from the sudden Rise of the Price of Tiles; which rise from 21 _s. per_ Thousand to 6 _l._ for plain Tiles; and from 50 _s. per_ Thousand for Pantiles, to 10 _l._ and Bricklayers Labour to 5 _s. per_ Day: And tho' after the first Hurry the Prices fell again, it was not that the Quantity was supply'd; but because,
