Gunthwaite Hall, nr Barnsley - BB would like his theory of tides published in the Memoirs of the Cambridge Philosophical Society: 'I need not tell you that Laplace's theory has not superseded the necessity of another'. BB gives a short critique of Laplaces's theory: 'He neglects the vertical displacement in the value of Sp, and retains it in the equation of continuity where it ought also to be neglected...To make Sp a complete variation is the thing wanted in this theory'.
