Excerpt from The Conservation and Improvement of Tidal Rivers: Considered Principally; With Reference to Their Tidal, and Fluvial Powers
The writer has been employed for many years in the Hydro graphic branch of the Naval Service, and has been engaged upon Surveys of most of the Ports between the North of Scotland and the River Thames. Without having any preconceived notions of his own upon the subject, he has carefully Observed the distinctive features Of the several Harbours, - the works which have been adopted for their improvement, with the measure of success attending them, - and he has not failed to perceive (what indeed will be generally admitted), that owing apparently to the absence Of a well-digested code for general guidance, Hydraulic Engineering, as applied to marine works, has not kept pace with the other.
