Abstract
THE first edition of this work was published in 1913; subsequent editions, testifying to its popularity, have followed at intervals of ten years. It is not intended to be a textbook of surveying but ‘an explanatory introduction, unobscured by much detail, which shall exhibit the general nature of the operations, and the relations to one another of the various parts of the subject’. In this respect we think it amply fulfils its object. The first seven chapters treat of maps viewed in their every aspect. Under the head of the history of early maps is collected, in a small space, an amount of information which could not be come by without reference to many original sources.
