	Seven Rare Works on the New England Earthquakes of 1727 and 1755. A Group of Seven Very Rare Works on the 1727 New England Earthquake and 1755 New England Earthquake. After the Boston earthquakes of 1727 and 1755 numerous sermons by Puritan ministers explained the earthquakes as God’s manifestation. The seven rare Pre-American Revolution printings offered contain eyewitness descriptions of the earthquakes and the resulting damage. The pamphlets were often published within a week of the earthquake addressed in the sermon. The 1755 Boston  earthquake occurred shortly after the Famous Madrid earthquake. The idea that earthquakes were a divine manifestation from God was the accepted view until challenged by the distinguished Harvard mathematician, physicist and astronomer John Winthrop (1714-1779) who proposed a scientific theory for the Madrid earthquake.
