Abstract
By permission of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, I am enabled to present to the Society a discussion by M. Dessiou of 13,327 observations of the tides made at Liverpool between the 1st of January 1774 and the 31st of December 1792. These observations, which were made by Mr. Hutchinson, Dock-master at that place, belong to the Lyceum at Liverpool, and they were granted with the greatest readiness and liberality by the Committee of that Institution, upon the application of Mr. Whewell and myself, for the purposes of the present inquiry. Mr. Hutchinson recorded the solar time of high water, and the height of the tide in feet and inches, at the Custom-House Dock gates, together with the direction and strength of the wind, and the state of the weather; also, during a great portion of the time, the height of the barometer and thermometer.
