Abstract
THE Royal Exchange storm of Nov., 1838, happened twenty-two years before Prof. C. P. Smyth's Hyperborean one of Oct, 1860—twelve years ago. I have heard of a great one at Dantzic in 1816-17 (also twenty-two years before 1838). In a small book—“Chronological Tablets,” published 1801, article on “Storms,” great ones, in 1794, Oct. 6; 1784, Dec. 5; 1773, March; 1751, Dec.; 1740, Nov. 1; 1703, Nov. 26 (the Great Storm, vide “City Remembrancer,” also Nautical Magazine, Jan., 1843, my extracts), this is not in the eleven-year series; 1658, Sept. (death day of Oliver Cromwell, fifty-five years before great 1703 storm), &c.
