Abstract
IN this brochure, Mr. Moxly expresses his dissatis-faction with the theory of the tides, as ordinarily accepted, and submits an alternative explanation. Although he opposes the views generally held, he does not exhibit that spirit of antagonism and adopt the language of abuse that too frequently disfigures the writings of those who dissent from authoritative teaching. Where it has been necessary to refer to the papers of Airy or of Darwin, these names are generally mentioned with the respect due to their great reputation, and therefore, though we are as thoroughly opposed to Mr. Moxly as he is to the mathematicians just mentioned, we shall endeavour to adopt the same courtesy towards him that he has shown towards others.
