This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1766 edition. Excerpt: ...Bodies acting upon the Earth in the same Direction or in the same right Line, their Force is united to elevate the Waters; whereby are produced Spring-Tides. When the Moon is in her Quadratures, her Attraction acts in one Direction, the Sun's in a quite contrary; by which Means they correct or counteract one another, the Moon raising the Waters where the Sun depresses them, and vice versa; which produces Neap-Tides.

Consequently when the Sun and Moon are in Conjunction or Opposition, in or near the Equinoctial, as in March and September, the Spring-Tides must rise higher, (the Summits of the two Mountains being then upon the Equator) than when they are in Conjunction or Opposition in the Tropics, as in June and December. And the Moon being in the Tropics at her Quadratures in March and September, and in the Equinoctial at her Quadratures in June and December, the Neap-Tides will be less vigorous in the former Months, and more vigorous in the latter. And, besides, when the Moon is in the Tropics at her Quadratures the Sun is in the Equinoctial; therefore the Rife and Fall of the Waters by his...
