Excerpt from Remarks on the Improvement of Tidal Rivers The influx of the tidal wave through Firths or Bays, and the modification it receives in its passage up the inclined beds of rivers, produce two physical boundaries, which are found to exist in all rivers, when viewed in connection with the sea. These boundaries, again, produce three sec tions or compartments, to the improvement of only one of which the practical remarks I have now to offer refer, but it is necessary that they should be clearly defined, before proceeding to what has been sketched out as the special subject of observation. The seaward, or lowest of these sections, I have elsewhere termed the sea proper the next, or intermediate one, into which the sea ascends, and from which it again withdraws itself, I termed the tidal compartment of the river and the highest, or that which is above the influence of the sea, the river proper. Their relative extent, in different situations, is influenced, not only by the circumstances under which the great tidal wave of the ocean enters the river, but by the size of its stream, the configuration and the slope of its bed, and.

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...
