Are not the Tides alfo of longer Duration in that 
Cafe ? Since a greater Portion of the Hemifphcroid, 
into which the Sea is formed by the Moon’s Attrac- 
tion, is then above the Horizons of thefe Places, 
than is below them. If this is found to be Fad, it 
will alfo be found, that the Duration in d ffcrent 
Places (other things alike) will be in lomc n eafure

the Equator and its Paradels obliquely ; and there- 
fore the Moon mull come fooner to, or from, a 
given Azimuth, with one Declination than with an- 
other. In fome Latitudes this Difference will amount 
to leveral Hours. Is it not then a falfe Rule to judge 
of the Times of high or low Water by the Moon’s 
Azimuth, or to fignify one by the other, as is the 
Cuftom of Sailors ?
