The book is a detailed exploration of the concept of vis inertiae, or the tendency of a body in motion to remain in motion, as it applies to the ocean. Jordan examines the various forces that act upon the ocean, such as wind, waves, and tides, and how they interact with vis inertiae to create the complex movements and currents of the ocean. He also discusses the impact of these forces on navigation and the transportation of goods by sea. The book is written in a scientific and technical style, with detailed diagrams and mathematical equations to support Jordan's theories and observations. Overall, A Treatise On The Action Of Vis Inertiae In The Ocean is a significant contribution to the study of oceanography and the understanding of the physical properties of the ocean.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
