Excerpt from The Sea-Side Lesson Book: Designed to Convey to the Youthful Mind a Knowledge of the Nature and Uses of the Common Things of the Sea Coast

Small water-courses we term brooks, streams, and rivulets, and several of these united form a river, of which, again, there may be many which run into one channel, and make what is termed the principal river, whose true source it is often difficult to deter mine, on account of these numerous tributaries.
