which Gaudemio at Lucca has created a~

more understanding as well as justice by

according to Doctor Johnson's account of the
matter, certainly is so, that in Scotland, • the
spui. of adventure is deprived of its firo/icr
objects f but we are vet to learn that this
deprivation has had the effect of “ improv
ing” either •* the importance of character
or the sense of honor." And as to England l
should be glad to learn what she is but, con
fessedly. a nation of speculators and udven
Hirers V .The man who becomes the aggres
sor in casting national reflections should take
care that his own nation is invulnerable, at

r-but to select the very points, in which
lAs own nation is most offensive, as ihe to
pics of proud and waiuon abuse against an
other, aud to call them great and peculiar
.faults,” is to subject himself to ine charge
of a want of good seiiNe as well as go..d
breeding from whic • no elegance of style
,or poignancy of periods can save him.
The picture which .his critic has drawn
of our literature, although certainly aggi ev a
ted into a carricature, has more resein.
bl.trceofihe truth.— “Now,” says he “ too*
we are certainly of opinion, that the second
rate pamphleteers ol that country, write in -
comparably better than Mr. Ashe—it is
ivo doubt tine, that America can produce
nothing to bring her intellectual efforts into
any sort of cc tipnvison with i/mt (meaning,
I suppose those of Europe.”)—I fancy tl it
Mr. Hammond Mr. Erskine and Mr.' Rose
must have shaken. ;heir heads, in token of
dissent, when they read this period. The
w,'iier proceeds—- - kiberty and competi
lion have its yet clone nothing to slim.
tilate literary genius in these republican
slates. They have never passed the limits
ol .tunble mediocrity, either in thought «n
expression.”-Then follows a pc snnality
which 1 do not choose to repeat. He then
proceeds——'* In short Federal America
lias done nothing, either to extend, diversi
fy or embellish the sphere of human know!
edge. Though all she has written, were
obiiterated from the records of learning,
there would, if we except the works of
Franklin” -(for the suppression of which
en passant, a corrupt attempt was made in
England, to save, 1 suppose, ihe necessity ol
tins exception,) “ be no positive diminution
either of the useful or agreeable. The dc
» ruction of her whole literature,” (always
excepting. 1 suppose, those pans, of Frank
tin’s works, winch escaped the meditated
destruction,) “ would not occasion so much
regret as we feel for the loss oi a few leaves
from an ancient classic.”
Then follows a paragraph which exhibits
a most palpable aiul ludicmus struggle be
tween the disingehniusne-.s-niid candor otihe
critic; between the complex and conflicting
duties ot lashing Mr Ashe for lashing the
Americans, and at the same time inflicting
the lash on them himself; between those
sweeping censures by which the critic was
disposed to exterminate every thing like ta
lents from this couutiy, aijd the strongand
glaring evidence ot the reverse which he
dared not for hts ovtisuke directly to deny
Mark the labor and discord of the para.,

.nothing of these talents; but let us see the
residue of the paragiaph, tha we may
learn what talents we have shewn “And we
are more inclined to adopt this favorable
opinion, from considering that her history
has already furnished occasions for the disr

TO THE EDITOK OF Till'
K K <^UIRER.
SIR, ,
In the Enquii er of the20th idt. I comtnu.
nicalcd to tiie public, the ideas which se
veral oi our most eminent Mathematicians
entertained respecting die principle upon
Which 1 had louiuled iny thtcuyof the tid.-s.
viz. a change ot velocity in die same point
ot the earth during a diurnal rotation. 1
there observed that I hatl received no in
torinatinn sufficiently satisfactory too n\ ince
me that the same pi inciple hail been noticed
by others ; but within these few days I have
been completely satisfied upon this point
and have received from the mathematical
writers of .lie 16th century that inforniati
on which 1 have in vain searched lor in our
modern authors.
The Phenomena of the tides I discover
were explained by Galileo upon the very
same principle I have assumes, and the
same theory was also embraced by Gassen
di, J<>. Buptista Balmuus, and afterwaids
warmly advocated and improved by Doctor
\\ allis the Irtend and colemp-irary uf Sir
Isaac Newton 1 he particulars may be
found in the 1st volume of the Abridgement
ol the Phil sophical Transactions of me t oy
ai society ol I..melon Page 89. m a letter on
the llux and reflux oi the >ea. addressed to
Mr Boyle by Decor Wallis. I shall ex
tiuct a few passages from this letter to shew
more plainly the sentiments which these
Philosophers entertained <>n his subject, ami
m what respect they difF. .eel Irom the opi
n'.ons liich 1 it ave delivered._
L). ctor Waitis illustrates the theory ot
Gauleoby a Diagram , but it may be easily
understood without the aid of a Diagram’;
, 'v* suppose the orbit of the earth round
I me so a to be denoted by a cir» t BEC of
which A is the centre; wml the earth
ut8e.,A,Sdenoted b>' a c‘rcle DEFC having
B the centre.
The 'voi ds of Doctor Wallis are a* follow
we shall fi;st take for granted, wnatis
pretty commonly entertained In i.h w};o
neat ot such matters, that a body Jo nioti
on is api to continue its motion and that in
he same degree of celerity unless Hindered
by some contrary impediment, like as a bo
dy at rest is apt to cm mue so, unless by
sotneiliing acting on i; nut into motion; anil
accordingly, if on a board or table some
loose incumbent weight be for some tim.
moved, and have thereby contracted an im_
petus to motion at sucli a rate ; if that board
or table chance by some external obstacle
or otherwise to be stopped or consideratbly
retarded in its motion, the incumbent loose
bc.Jy will shoot forward upon it ; and con
trury wise, in case that board or table chance
to be accelet a.ed or put forward with acon„
siderably greater speed than before, the"
loose incumbent body, not having yet ob
tained an equal impetus with it, will be left
behind or seem to fly backwaul upon it.—
Or, which i» Galileo's instance, it a broad
ve>sel of water, for some time evenly car_
l ied forward with the water in it, chance to
meet with a stop, ortoslack its motion the
water will dash forward and rise higher at
the lore pari ot the ve*>el : and contrary
wise, it the vessel be suddenly put forward
fas er than before, the water will dash back
wards, and rise at the liioder part of the
vessel, so that an acceleration or retardati.
on of the vessel which carries it, will cause
arising ot the water in one part and a fal
Img in another; which yet, by its own
[ weight, will again be reduced to a level as
it was before. And const quentiy, suppos
mg the sea to be but as a loose body, car
ried about wi-h die earth but not so united
to it, as neceasarily to receive the same de
gree of impetus with it as iis fixed parts do
1 he acceleration or retardation in the m<>«
tion ot that par. of the Earth will cause
such a flashing of the water, or rising atone
pan with a lading at another, as what we
call the flux and reflux of the sea.”_ l
" Now, his premised, wc are next with
him, to supp .se the Earth carried about
with a double motion ; the one annual as the
gieat orb in which the centre of tlie earth
B. is supposed to move about the sun A._
The other diurnal, whereby the whole
moves upon its own axis, and each pom in
its surface describes a circle, as 1) E F
c.”
“ It is then manifest, that if we suppose !
that the eartli moved but by any one ot
these motions, and that regularly, the wa
ter having once attained an equal impetus
thereunto, would still hold equal pace with
it; but the true motion of each part of the
cartn’s surface being compounded of those I
two motions, the annual and dim mil, while
a point in the earth’s surface moves about
its centre B, from G to D and E and at the
same time its centre B be carried forwards
to C, the true motion of that point forwards
is made up of both those motions; 10 wn,
ot II to C, and f» to E , hut while f» moves
by D to E, E moves backwards by F to G,
contrary to the motiou of B to C ; so that
the true motion of E i» but the difference
o. B t aod E G ; for bosulc ire motion uf R
about the centre. G, in also put forward a .
much as from G to E, and E put backwanl
as much as from E to G ) so that the di«
tirnal motion in that |« <rt of ho earth winch
is next tire sun. as E F G abates the pro
gi ess of the annual and most of all at F ;
a id in the other part widen is from the
sun, asG 1) E, it increases it, and most of!
all at D, that is, in the flay time thee is
abated, and in 'lie mglr tine added toth»
annual mo'iroj about as much as is H K
| he earth's diameter, which wnuld afford
i us n cause of two tides* in twenty four
boars; tlieone tipdn the g-eatest aecelcrti
ti«>» ufmo ion, the other upon the gTv-ote'-t
retardation. ”
" ^n»! thus far Galile »’s ditcntKsr holds
well enough; h it then in ibis it coiner
! short, that as it Rives an account of two
titles, so those two tides are always 10 he
at !• and H, tiiat is at noon and midnight;
whereas experience tells us hat the time
of tides in* Vc s in ,« nioii *»|>.icc ihrou^^i
all t *e ‘^4 Hours. Of which he gives ns n.>
acc.uiK. For though he iak“s mtict of a
mens> rual period » e1 he tloes i; only as to
the quantity ot the tides, greater or less* i
f.ot a» .0 the ti ne of the udes sooner or la * I
ter.”
lo supply this Jo Bap’ista Hslianus
makes the h trill to he a secondary planet ;
and to move not directly abou the suu, but }
a bout tlie moon, the moon meanwhile mo
ring about the sun ; In like manner as we
Mil>pose the earm to move about the sun,
and the moon ahmt it.*'

of ihis supposition of Babanus. proceeds •,

Me supposes the ear'll and moon jointly as

to be estimated according to *he laws of
Statics, as in.other cases bv the m-cion ot

It ts 'li -iefnie evident that flic principle
'•i tin- 1 ides winch 1 assumed is precisely
tne same with that proposed bi Galileo, and
improved by Dr. Wallis. Om demonsn a.
turns are however d.Cerent. The principle

hypothesis of Dr Wallis which certainly is

cause of the menstrual motion of die Tides;

same by the Polar effusions Ur f„ odiVr

papei ol Dr. Wallis in the P* lnsophical

tins paper was unknown t me when I i
published my essay, and it is certainly
