The scientific investigations undertaken in the wake of the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 formed the basis of the science of seismology. Published in 1757, this work collects many of the contemporary theories, and this reissue also includes John Michell's 1760 work linking tsunamis with undersea earthquakes for the first time.
