 Hybridity note:[Most of paragraphs 4 and 5 (“figure to myself...are carried to”) are reprinted from the Monthly Review 37 (January 1802), 23-24. The original source appears to be Abbé Ordinaire’s The Natural History of Volcanoes: Including Submarine Volcanoes, and Other Analogous Phenomena, translated from the French by R. C. Dallas and published by Cadell and Davies in London, 1801. Brown’s source, however, is more likely to have been an excerpt that appeared in the book review published in the Monthly Review. In Dallas’s translation as it appears in the Monthly Review, the passage begins with this phrasing: “Let the reader figure to himself Vesuvius near four thousand feet high. . . .” (23). Brown echoes this language as he begins his excerpt, but at this point departs from his source and seems to write the remainder of this paragraph in his own words and with differing details. The Dallas translation reads, “. . . but that the tops of the houses at Constantinople, which is almost a thousand miles from Vesuvius, should have been covered four inches in its ashes, would have been difficult to believe, had not contemporary authors, some of whom were at the time living in that city, reported the fact, and uniformly dated it on the eleventh of November 472, at noon, when the people were attending the games of the Circus” (128-29; Monthly Review 24). Brown’s use of Etna instead of Vesuvius as being “a distance of a thousand miles” from Constantinople is actually more accurate.]
