Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vesuvius My purpose has been first to collect an authentic history of the mountain called Vesuvius, and of its successive eruptions; next, to arrange the main facts and phaenomena which have been observed in and around Vesuvius, in a settled order; and finally, to present such thoughts and interpretations as appear to me justly founded on these observations, and in harmony with the working laws of nature. Of many sketches rapidly made on the spot by my companion and myself, a few have been translated into engravings and lithographs, but the greater num ber sketched in outline on wood by myself, along with other diagrams which seemed useful for reference. I am indebted to my friend Mr. Lowry, for directing the engraving; Messrs. Newbald and Stead, of York, have executed the colour-printing and lithographs; and Mr. De Wilde has patiently fixed my ideas on wood.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pompeia: A Reproduction of the House of Pansa, in Pompeii, Buried by Vesuvius But a secret enemy was silently working the ruin of the fair city. We are fortunate in having an eye-witness to this unparalleled catastrophe in Pliny, the younger, who said: Tho' my shocked soul recoils, my tongue shall tell; and the tale is the epitome of all terrors. Amid the revelry of gay, proud Romans, who had settled themselves in their summer homes, came a shock of earthquake like a bolt from a cloud less sky. While yet the horror of continued upheavals was upon them a still more horrible darkness encompassed them until naught was visible save the awful flames of Vesuvius.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters to Cornelius Tacitus: On the Death of the Elder Pliny and the Eruption of Vesuvius, A. D. 79; A New Version The city of Pompei, originally a settlement of Greek colonists, as almost all the cities on the charming coast of Campania had been, was at the time of its destruction mainly Roman. Grecian civilization however was in every way manifest as it was conspicuously evident by the gracefulness of the buildings which were essentially Greek in style. The city had been greatly damaged by an earthquake, A. D. 63, which apparently destroyed the principal buildings; certainly it had overthrown the dwelling houses which daring the following sixteen years had either been rebuilt or were in process of rebuilding. This earthquake must have had some connection with Vesuvius, the volcanic forces of which, during that period, were working and so terribly let loose in the year A. D. 79.

Download or read book The History of Vesuvius written by T. A. Schneer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Vesuvius: From A. D. 79 to A. D. 1907 To King Ferdinand II of Naples belongs the honor of having been the first to found an meteorological Observatory. As it was imagined that the proximity of an active Volcano might have some influence on the variations of the atmosphere a spur of Vesuvius called i Canteroni was chosen at its site. It stands 600 metres above sea-level, is one Kilometre distant from the Vesuvian cone, and two from the centre of the great crater. The building of this handsome edifice, designed by an engineer Gaetano Fazzini -by name, was begun in the year 1841 and finished in 1847; but owing to the political troubles of the time, it was not opened until 1855 in which year it was placed under the direction of Professor Luigi Palmieri under which it remained till 1896 the year in which Prof. Palmieri died. Prof. Eugenio Semmola was his successor and had the direction till 1903 when Prof. R. V. Matteucci took the direction of the Observatory. This illustrious man, whose name has become a household word far beyond the bounds of his native land. Has carried on his observations there for these last 4 years with untiring zeal and energy. Lava floods might threaten distraction to that outpost of research, showers of stones, blinding ashes and suffocating vapours endanger his life, but, in spite of all, this dauntless disciple of science, kept faith ful watch on the post entrusted to him, like a. General on the field of battle. With the greatest care and exactitude he has no ted every varying phase before during and after the eruptions of Vesuvius. His notes and observations contribute many a valua ble corner stone to the edifice of volcanic theory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
