Inhaltsangabe

Preface; 1. On the bodily tides of viscous and semi-elastic spheroids, and
on the ocean tides upon a yielding nucleus; 2. Note on Thomson's theory of
the tides of an elastic sphere; 3. On the precession of a viscous spheroid,
and on the remote history of the Earth; 4. Problems connected with the
tides of a viscous spheroid; 5. The determination of the secular effects of
tidal friction by a graphical method; 6. On the secular changes in the
elements of the orbit of a satellite revolving around a tidally distorted
planet; 7. On the analytical expressions which give the history of a fluid
planet of small viscosity, attended by a single satellite; 8. On the tidal
friction of a planet, attended by several satellites, and on the evolution
of the solar system; 9. On the stresses caused in the interior of the Earth
by the weight of continents and mountains; Index.
