Book Description
Excerpt from The Conservation and Improvement of Tidal Rivers: Considered Principally; With Reference to Their Tidal, and Fluvial Powers A few prefatory remarks only are necessary to explain the origin of the present work, and the plan on which it is constructed. The writer has been employed for many years in the Hydro-graphic branch of the Naval Service, and has been engaged upon Surveys of most of the Ports between the North of Scotland and the River Thames. Without having any preconceived notions of his own upon the subject, he has carefully observed the distinctive features of the several Harbours, - the works which have been adopted for their improvement, with the measure of success attending them, - and he has not failed to perceive (what indeed will be generally admitted), that owing apparently to the absence of a well - digested code for general guidance, Hydraulic Engineering, as applied to marine works, has not kept pace with the other branches of practical science. The writer cannot supply this desideratum, nor does he propound any new theory; but as an extensive field of observation has enabled him to form general views upon the subject, and a late work of examination in which he was engaged having satisfied him of their soundness, and given them consistency, he commits them to the press, as his mite of information, where so much is needed.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ... deeper water would render the superior level permanent. Is this higher level from enclosures borne out by facts? Let us see. Take the case of the Thames. This river has been most extensively embanked, as we all know, for no one can observe the broad alluvial plains below the solid slopes on either side without being fully aware of the fact. This restriction of the river by embankments dates from the earliest periods, history affording no trace of the time of their formation. Mr. Walker remarks upon them in terms singularly applicable to the point we are considering; he says, "As the banks are suited to the present level of the water, there are no grounds for supposing that the tides of the river now reach to a much higher level than when the embankments were formed; if they do, it must be caused by the tides at sea being higher than in ancient times, for it would be unreasonable to suppose, that when the river extended to the foot of the rising ground of Kent and Essex, the tide would not attain a considerably higher level at and about London than it did at the estuary of the Medway, from the great width of the estuary at that time." In the present day the level of high-water spring tides at London is only 2 feet higher than that at Sheerness, 40 miles lower down, about the excess due to the form of the entrance of the river, and the direction of the tidal impulse, as we shall hereafter have occasion to show, under the head of ' Tidal Propagation, ' Chapter IV. Where, then, is the tidal water which originally composed the ancient seas covering the Kent and Essex marshes? The only reply that can be given is, that as there is no demand for it, there is no supply. Turn to the case of the estuary of the Dee at Chester. The identity of this...
