Windermere lake   earthquake
	Earthquake, Windermere Regarding the Lisbon earthquake:- Kirkby Lonsdale, in Westmoreland, Nov. 1. THe lake called Wymansdel-Meare, so famous for the Char-fish, was agitated in a very extraordinary manner; for in an instant the waters rose seven feet, and again as soon subsided; so that two fishermen who were in a boat near the edge of the lake, repairing their fishing tackle, found themselves by one wave carried into it a considerable way, and were so astonished with the sudden transportation, as to declare they expected nothing less than the general consummation.

	Meteorological Journals Also on this page is one of a series of monthly reports of the weather at London, and somewhere near Carlisle, Cumberland:- Each magazine entry includes the last few days of the preceding month and all except the last few days of the current month. One year has been chosen (1756, for no special reason) to show the weather in Cumberland, and the style of reporting. The first monthly report in 1756 has the last few days of December 1755, and most of January 1756:- Weather for 25 to 31 December 1755, 1 to 24 January 1756. The earthquake that caused troubled waters on Windermere was the Lisbon earthquake 1 November 1755, which is described elsewhere in the Gentleman's Magazine with other articles about earthquakes in general. The weather is reported for London and Carlisle month by month; each magazine entry includes the last few days of the preceding month and all except the last few days of the current month. One year has been chosen, for no special reason, to show the weather in Cumberland. The first month of 1757 has the data for the end of December 1756.
