Abstract
THIS monograph is an attempt to uphold the claims of the equilibrium theory of the tides as opposed to those of the dynamical theory now generally maintained. It is seldom possible to return to older scientific hypotheses which are of so general a nature and have been superseded, and it is impossible here.
