I document the close interaction between Whewells philosophy of science (especially his methodological views) and his scientific practice as a tidologist. I claim that the intertwinement between Whewells methodology and his tidology is more fundamental than has hitherto been documented.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
