Abstract
THIS book will be useful not only to undergraduates attending Prof. Merriman's classes at the well-known Lehigh University, but to all who may be engaged in carrying out accurate or geodetic surveys. It is clearly written, methodically arranged, and well illustrated; and the problem at the end of each section seems well designed to test the student's knowledge.
