Margaret Collier to Samuel Richardson, from Ryde, 31 December 1755: 'I still feel anxiety, painful anxiety, for some good account of those I knew and esteemed at Lisbon [...] I see the public newspapers pretty constantly, and have watched earnestly for some account amongst the English who got on board ships and are coming to England [...] but am not yet satisfied. But how terribly extensive have these shocks been! Sure never was heard of an earthquake being felt so far, and in so many places, and so many leagues at sea, as this before!'
