Note 15 — Chapter I · ON THE ELEVATION OF THE EASTERN COAST OF SOUTH AMERICA.
Reading edition
See Sir W. Parish’s work on “La Plata,” p. 242. For a notice of an earthquake which drained a lake near Cordova, see also Temple’s “Travels in Peru.” Sir W. Parish informs me, that a town between Salta and Tucuman (north of Cordova) was formerly utterly overthrown by an earthquake.
