Excerpt from The Alphabet of Nature: Or, Contributions Towards a More Accurate Analysis and Symbolization of Spoken Sounds; With Some Account of the Principal Phonetical Alphabets Hitherto Proposed In like manner, when a wave is excited in the surface of water, as when, by throwing in a stone, one portion is violently driven down, and the surrounding part heaped up above its natural level, this subsides and fills up the vacuity; but as its pressure takes place alike on both sides of the ridge, the uid on the outside of the ridge is also pressed on, from below upwards, by the reaction of the uid stratum which sustains the ridge, and whose pressure is propagated equally in all directions. Thus the ridge, in subsiding, not only fills up the central vacancy, but forces up another ridge exterior to it; and this, in subsiding, another, and so on; and thus an advancing wave is formed; and, the same action taking place on all sides of the centre, the wave can advance no otherwise than in the direction of radii on all sides diverging therefrom.
