Laki info

[edit]

Putting this info here for now, since it doesn't seem to be correct; the Laki event occurred one hundred years after Bell's death.

[In 1671 he was appointed Archdeacon of St Albans, a post he held for twelve years till his death in July 1683], during a summer characterised by freakishly high morbidity in England, and a couple of weeks after the entire London region, along with much of the rest of western Europe, became enveloped for several months in toxic sulphurous fog.[1]
