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. It is evident, that if the two opposite Protuberances, or Summits of the two Mountains of Water, were always exactly at the Poles of the Earth, there would be no rising and falling of the Waters by Means of the Earth's Rotation, or no Tides at all; but it would constantly be high Water at the Poles, and low Water all round the Equator. On the other Hand, when these two Summits are farthest from the Poles, that is, upon the Equator, the Rise and Fall of the Waters, by Means of the Earth's Rotation, is then greatest: therefore the nearer they are to the Equator, the Rise and Fall is the greater: G 'and and the nearer to the Poles, the Rise and Fall is the less. 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...
