  <dc:title>Tidal observations at London Dock, England, part 3, by E Russell and Jenkin Jones</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Computations of tides by Moon's declination at London Dock, calculated by E. Russell and Jenkin Jones. The volume contains tables for delinations commencing from 1 degree 30 seconds north to 1 degree 30 seconds south: columns for date, Moon's transit B by minute, time of high water, transit interval, Moon's parallax, height of high water, Sun's declination. 

The results were discussed in the Bakerian Lecture, 'On the tides at the Port of London', by John William Lubbock, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, v.126 (1836), pp.217-266.  

The volume commences with a title page [p.1]: 'London Tide Computations Part III. Containing the Time, and Height of High Water, at the London Docks, the Intervals of Transits, the Moon's Parallax, and the Sun's Declinations, corresponding to the Apparent Time of the Moon's Transit B for every three degrees of her Declination north and south for the Years 1808 to 1826 inclusive'. An additional note [also p.1] states: 'Computed by Messrs Russell &amp; Jones'. </dc:description>
