Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 25: January April, 1891 But although he might not have been legally Earl Rivers, yet We can, I think, understand that when he went into foreign parts, even if reluctant, that he would not have been able to resist the impulse of his followers to give him the title which he possessed de jure and the acclaim of his soldiers that he was Earl Rivers, must be the explanation of the S panish chroniclers regarding him as such.

Excerpt from Dublin Review, Vol. 25: Published in September and December, 1848 Art. I. - Hekla og dens sidste Udbrud, den 2den September, 1845. En Monographi af J. C. Schythe. (Hekla and its latest Eruption, on the 2nd of September, 1845. A Monograph by J. C. Schythe.) 8vo. pp. 154. With 10 lithographed plates, and 2 maps. Copenhagen, 1847. About two years ago, some imperfect notices appeared in the English journals, to the effect that the long slumbering volcano of Hekla, in Iceland, had again woke up into activity. From the Orkneys and Shetland Islands accounts were also received, that a shower of fine volcanic sand or dust, had fallen in September, 1845, in these remote portions of the British dominions, and that this phenomenon was probably occasioned by the outbreak of some volcano in the northern seas. Naturally enough, however, the subject attracted but little attention, except from a few scientific men, and the public was perfectly well satisfied with a representation of Mount Hekla in eruption, which appeared in one of the illustrated newspapers, where that volcano was depicted as a conical rock on the borders of the ocean, belching forth fire and smoke, and sending a copious stream of lava directly down into the waves which boiled around its base. Inaccurate and absurd as this delineation undoubtedly was, we will assert that it was fully commensurate with the amount of actual knowledge possessed by the majority of the reading English public, in regard to the true position and character of this remarkable volcano, and of the island in which it is situated.
