Originally published in 1921, as part of the Cambridge Geological Series, this book presents an accessible introduction to seismology. Whilst some historical context is provided, the main aim of the text is to give an outline of its key principles and applications. Numerous illustrative figures and textual notes are also included.

In this book, which was first published in 1927, renowned British mathematician and seismologist Charles Davison provides a historical study regarding the origins of seismology and the key figures in its development. The text was based upon a series of articles which appeared in the Geological Magazine during 1921.

First published in 1924, this classic volume details the history of British earthquakes from the year 974 to the beginning of the twentieth century. Building on material laid out in his 1912 volume The Origin of British Earthquakes, Charles Davison based his method of investigation on the theory that earthquakes were the results of successive steps in the growth of faults.
