The Royal Society: Science in the Making

Referee's report by Alexander Henry Green, on a paper 'On the Leicester earthquake of August 4, 1893' by Charles Davison

Reference number: RR/12/81

Date: 15 May 1894

Description

Recommended for publication in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. The paper requires some revision, as the author is too verbose. The abstract already published is a good summary, but doe not give enough of the facts. The map can be reduced if all but the most important localities are omitted. If the author is unwilling to condense the paper, he should be advised to submit it to the Geological Magazine.
