| Title | Unpublished manuscript, on a new system of navigation by [Jean François?] Poulliot |
| Date | 22 October 1823 |
| Description | Poulliot proposes a new system of navigation based on the oscillating movement of water, caused both by tides and by wind. He finishes his paper by posing two questions to the Royal Society: whether the oscillating movement of the sea can be considered a driving power and whether it is possible that this power could be applicable to floating bodies.
