     * Hitherto.
       Thus far shall thy flux and reflux extend.  The tides are
       marvellously limited and regulated, not only by the lunar and
       solar attraction, but by the quantum of time required to
       remove any part of the earth's surface, by its rotation round
       its axis, from under the immediate attractive influence of the
       sun and moon.  Hence the attraction of the sun and moon, and
       the gravitation of the sea to its own centre, which prevent
       too great a flux on the one hand, and too great reflux on the
       other, are some of those bars and doors by which its proud
       waves are stayed, and prevented from coming farther.
