It may be observed with respect to General Roy's calculation of 

 the mean height of the sea, that it does not appear that in rivers, 

 or even in narrow seas, we ought to add one-third of the height of 

 the tides only to that of low water, in order to find the level ; for 

 it is probable that even the original tides may often resemble those 

 of lakes, where, for want of breadths, the effects of a spheroidical 

 tide cannot take place, and the elevation and depression are very 

 nearly equal.
