Discussion of tide observations made at Liverpool

The chief purpose which the author has in view in presenting the tables accompanying this paper, which are a continuation of those published in the Philosophical Transactions for 1835, and are founded on the observations instituted by Mr. Hutchinson at Liverpool, is to exhibit the diurnal inequality in the height of high water, which is scarcely sensible in the river Thames, but which at Liverpool amounts to more than a foot. The diurnal inequality in the interval appears to be insensible. The author has farther ascertained that Bernouilli’s formulæ expressing the height of the tide, deduced from his theory of the tides present a very remarkable accordance with observation.
