Excerpt from The Tribune Almanac and Political Register for 1865 The Establishment of the Port, m the above table, is the mean interval between the time of the Moon s meridian passage and the time of high water succeeding that transit. The true interval varies With the Moon s age, being least When the moon culminates about 4h. 8om. And greatest When culminating about 10 o clock. And at the mean, generally When. The moon is two days old. It sometimes happens that the tide comes in several hours later or earlier than the most learned calculation would determine; and this in consequence of the strengtlf and direction of the Wind, Which the calculator cannot reckon upon. In using the quantities in this and the Star Table, observe that more than 12 hours and less than 24, from midnight or the beginning of morning, is afternoon of the same day and that more than 12 hours and less. Than 24, from noon, is morning of the next day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
