Excerpt from A Manual of Topographical Drawing
The following pages have been prepared to meet, and in some degree to supply, the demand for practical instruction in Topographical Drawing. The great activity which prevails in regard to Internal Improvements, is constantly calling into the field numbers of young Engineers; and already many instructive works have been addressed to them on almost every detail connected with their profession, except map-making.
The design of this little manual is, to be a practical assistant and office com panion, to be consulted on all matters connected with Topographical Drawing, from the first sketch of a preliminary survey, to the complete map. Its scope is limited to field and office drawing, and nothing else is treated of, but What relates to, or is illustrative of, those departments of Topography.
