Abstract
THE activity of Vesuvius, incessant for some time past, has culminated in an eruption which, making every allowance for newspaper exaggeration, stands in the foremost rank of historic eruptions, even if it is not already the greatest of all. It is not yet at an end; we cannot say that it has reached its climax; but the interest excited is so great that some forecast of the future, so far as this is possible, may be attempted.
