Excerpt from Moxly's Theory of the Tides: With a Chapter of Extracts From Moxly's Original Work In other places we have only one high and one low water daily instead of two, and altogether at first sight the anomalies seem so numerous and chaotic as to hopelessly preclude the evolution of any system.
