Excerpt from Ocean Tides: A New Solution of the Problem of the Tides, With Elaborate Tables, Showing by Mere Inspection, the Nature and Amount of the Fluctuations of the Surface of the Ocean at All Places Produced by the Attractive Forces of the Sun and Moon T IS not the purpose of this book to give a new theory of the T ides. The cause of the Tides was sufficiently and correctly explained by sir isaac newton in the year 1687; and the mathematical develop ment of the effects produced by that cause upon the waters Of the Ocean has been the great unsolved problem before the scientific world for more than two hundred and thirty years. The most celebrated and illustrious mathematicians of the world have long devoted their great talents, to its solution; and the prince of mathematicians and theoret ical astronomers, laplace, pronounces the problem of the Tides the most difficult problem of celestial mechanics. But notwithstanding the admitted difficulty of the problem, I have here given two simple though rigorous solutions of the problem, made by means of entirely independent methods; and it is believed that a more complete knowledge in regard to the operation of the tidal forces will also contribute valuable information for the improve ment of the sciences of meteorology and terrestrial physics.
