LAWS OP THE TIDES FROM SHORT SERIES OP OBSERVATIONS. 247 



make the correction tables general. I have not yet reduced the Bristol corrections 

 to this basis, having a hope of still further improving the declination correction ; and 

 also of obtaining a solar correction from the observations. These tasks, however,

 the present attempt to solve some of the most obvious and important questions of 

 Tidology will not be without its value.
