| 520 | _a"Remarks Concerning Stones Said to Have Fallen from the Clouds, Both in These Days, and in Antient Times" by Edward King, Esq. F.R.S. and F.A.S. is a scientific publication written in the late 18th century. The book primarily discusses remarkable instances of stones reportedly falling from the sky, particularly focusing on a phenomenon that occurred in Tuscany in June 1794. It aims to explore the historical accounts and scientific principles behind these occurrences of falling stones. In the book, Edward King examines various accounts of showers of stones, particularly highlighting the bizarre event in Tuscany, where multiple stones fell from a cloud, alongside various witnesses to the event. King discusses the composition and characteristics of these stones, including their weight, appearance, and chemical properties. He also reviews similar historical incidents from antiquity, arguing that such events have been documented throughout history. Through careful observation and analysis, King suggests that these stones may have been formed in the atmosphere due to volcanic activity, while also entertaining the idea that such phenomena are not as rare as they might seem. Ultimately, the text serves as both a detailed investigation of a specific occurrence and a broader inquiry into the nature of geological formations and their historical significance.
