This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ...explosion, the bottom opened, and fin' burst forth, which, slowly but uninterruptedly, threw up a small internal cone formed of fragments of former lava. Meanwhile f rom its base, now in one part, now in another, spouted out small jets of lava which, unable to proceed on account of the obstacle of the crater-walls, expanded and accumulated round the new cone which, meanwhile, continued slowly rising. This state of activity, now more, now less, lasted up to February 184."), at which period the internal cone had risen to such a height, that it surmounted the edge of the crater, and was visible from Naples; and its eruptions, hitherto only observed from the top of the mountain, could now be seen from a distance. We learn further that Vesuvius was only moderately active during the year 1847-48. and became comparatively tranquil in 1849. But in 1850 the new cone fell in with a terrible explosion, and the wells in Torre del Greco and Resina went dry. The restlessness of the mountain increased frightfully until, on the 5th February, the great Vesuvian cone burst open on the north side in such a manner, that the enormous fissure was visible from its summit to its base. Several adventitious cones formed on the Atrio del Cavallo, from the base of which issued torrents of fire devastating the eastern part of the Atrio, and the fields below, as far as Ottaiano. On the 10lh February a great quantity of sand was thrown out, and on the 12th the eruption was over. Great changes were found to have taken place on Vesuvius, when its ascent had once more become possible. Instead of the former flat summit there were now two spacious and deep craters with 8 openings on the eastern side, from all of which lava was constantly flowing. The descent...

Excerpt from The History of Vesuvius: From A. D. 79 to A. D. 1907 To King Ferdinand II of Naples belongs the honor of having been the first to found an meteorological Observatory. As it was imagined that the proximity of an active Volcano might have some influence on the variations of the atmosphere a spur of Vesuvius called i Canteroni was chosen at its site. It stands 600 metres above sea-level, is one Kilometre distant from the Vesuvian cone, and two from the centre of the great crater. The building of this handsome edifice, designed by an engineer Gaetano Fazzini -by name, was begun in the year 1841 and finished in 1847; but owing to the political troubles of the time, it was not opened until 1855 in which year it was placed under the direction of Professor Luigi Palmieri under which it remained till 1896 the year in which Prof. Palmieri died. Prof. Eugenio Semmola was his successor and had the direction till 1903 when Prof. R. V. Matteucci took the direction of the Observatory. This illustrious man, whose name has become a household word far beyond the bounds of his native land. Has carried on his observations there for these last 4 years with untiring zeal and energy. Lava floods might threaten distraction to that outpost of research, showers of stones, blinding ashes and suffocating vapours endanger his life, but, in spite of all, this dauntless disciple of science, kept faith ful watch on the post entrusted to him, like a. General on the field of battle. With the greatest care and exactitude he has no ted every varying phase before during and after the eruptions of Vesuvius. His notes and observations contribute many a valua ble corner stone to the edifice of volcanic theory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pompeii was one of most advanced cities of its time; it had a complex water system, gymnasium, and an amphitheater. Despite it's advancements, there was one thing it wasn't ready for: Mount Vesuvius—the volcano that led to its ultimate doom. The 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius was one of the worst disasters in all of European history. In a near instant, over 15,000 people were dead and a city was completely destroyed. This book looks at the rise, fall, and rediscovery of the great city of Pompeii.
