Abstract
ON Thursday morning, December 3, I was in bed awake, between 6 and 7 o'clock. I heard a slight clattering noise of the earthenware and glass articles on the marble top of the washstand. It lasted for about three seconds, and went with a slight halt near the end. There was no one moving in the house, and nothing outside to cause the tremors, which I did not feel in bed. I immediately got up to look at the clock, and found it was 6.45. I do not know at what time the earthquake in Algeria took place, possibly there was some connection between the two, and the tremor may have been felt in other places in England, so I record this.
