Physical Description:
26 p. ; 21 x 13 cm.
Place of Publication:
London, 1693.
Notes:
  • Preface signed: H.L.
  • The letter, dated "Jamaica. Withywood in the parish of Vere. June 30th. 1692", ends at p. 13. The remainder of the work is a religious dissertation upon the same subject.
  • For Tho. Parkhurst, at the Bible and three Crowns at the lower End of Cheapside, near Mercer's Chappel.
  • Sabin (no. 35559) quotes another issue (London ... Tho. Parkhurst ... 1693) and erroneously states it to be the original of the Dutch translation: Naauwkeurig verhaal ... Amsterdam, 1692. The latter is translated from "A full account of the late and dreadful earthquake at Port Royal in Jamaica; in two letters written by the minister of that place, from a-board the Granada in Port-Royal harbour. London, Printed for J. Tonson, 1692", which is not to be confused with the present account.
Local Notes:
  • Trimmed.
  • Bookplates of George W. Norris.
