Excerpt from Ferrers, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance of the Reign of George the Second

As the catastrophe had apparently passed, the Londoners shook off their apprehension, and nothing more was thought of Sir Isaac's prophecy, nor of the strange temperature, so different from that produced by the biting and withering north-east winds which, in England, generally blow from January to June. Even the freaks of the tumbling glasses, the self moving chairs, the spontaneously-ringing bells, and the saltatory platters, ceased (after some slight comparison of notes between dwellers at different parts of the town) to furnish topics of conversation. Accordingly, the earthquake and its attendant phenomena seemed in a fair way to be utterly forgotten.
