Directions for the Use of the Following Tide Table, Sent by J.F.M.R. & R.S.S. to the publisher

Directions for the use of the following Tide Table, sent by J. F. M. R. & R. S. S. to the Publisher SIR, Having found my last years Tide Table very agreeable to Experience. I here present you with another for the year ensuing made by the same Theory and Numbers, but in a more convenient form for your Tracts. I must only desire those that use it, to note. That when by reason of long droughts in Summer, or continual hard frosts in Winter, the fresh Waters are low, as also when the winds blow hard at N. or N. W. the Tides may hold up longer than the times shew'd in the Table. But when the contrary winds blow hard, or by reason of great rains the Freshes are increased, they hold not out so long: yet have I very rarely found the difference more than half an hour. I find by enquiry made amongst our most experienced Seamen, that the high Waters of our English and Neighbour Ports keep a good correspondence with these of the River of Thames; Having therefore instructed myself the best I could by conference with them, I have made the following Table of Reduction, whereby the Tide Table may be made to serve at the places underwritten, by Adding, For Tinmouth-haven, Hartlepool, and Amsterdam. | Location | h. m | |---------------------------------|------| | Brest | 0 30 | | Syllly | 1 00 | | Bridlington-Peer and Humber | 2 00 | | Pensans, Weymouth, Hamburgh, and Hull | 3 30 | | Lantion and Foula Se | 4 10 | | Bridgewater, Landsend and Texel | 4 45 | | Portland, Hareflew, and without the Vlie | 5 40 | And Subtracting.
