Abstract
THE author claims to deduce the height of high water at Milford Haven by considering the actual distance of the moon from that port, to which end a table is provided giving this distance. A comparison is made between the calculated and observed heights.
Tidal Research: the Adaptation of Sir Isaac Newton's Tidal Laws to the Prediction of the Height of High Tides; being an Examination of the Cause of the High Tides at Milford Haven, and their Application to the Heights of the related High Tides at Southampton (1st H.W.), Liverpool, London Bridge (Old Swan Pier), and Southampton (2nd H.W.); the patient collection of Physical Facts by which other Facts are Revealed.
