This vintage work contains a series of examples of astronomic and geodetic calculations used by land surveyoys. Written in simple, concise language and containing a plethora of useful tables, charts, and equations, this text, although old, will be of much utility to the modern reader with an interest in the subject, and would make for a great addition to collections of allied literature. The chapters of this volume include: Definitions and Preliminary Operations, Time, Latitude, Azimutil, Convergence of Meridians, Sun Dials, et cetera. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this book is being republished now complete with a new, specially commissioned introduction on the subject.
