Part I. For the year 1757" by Various et al. is a scientific publication written in the mid-18th century. This volume of the journal contains a collection of essays and accounts regarding various scientific endeavors and observations prevalent during that time, spanning topics from geological events, such as earthquakes, to medical inquiries and discoveries related to mineral waters. The opening of the volume presents a detailed account of an earthquake that occurred in New England on November 18, 1755, narrated by John Winthrop. He describes the earthquake's progression, its effects on the environment, and the peculiar phenomenon of fish surfacing in the aftermath. Winthrop methodically conveys the duration, intensity, and extent of the earthquake, comparing it to past events and theorizing about its geographical impact. Additionally, he accounts for the local weather conditions leading up to the earthquake, providing a robust context for understanding this seismic event's significance in the scientific discourse of the period.
