St James's Place - JWL is sorry WW has not got the time to take up the subject of tides: 'you would do so much better than myself'. JWL has been preparing his paper for the press and at the Royal Society ['On the Tides in the Port of London', Phil. Trans. of the Royal Society, 1831]: 'I should like to attempt a Theory of the Moon'. Dessiou [Joseph Foss Dessiou] is producing tables showing the effect of the changes in the moon's declination and on the time and height of high water. Mr Pond [John Pond] has promised JWL funds from the Nautical Almanac to enable him to write a paper on this subject. He has resigned the Vice Presidency at the Royal Society.
