Abstract
THIS work seems to have had its origin partly out of consideration for the needs of surveyors whose home-training is too restricted to qualify them for colonial appointments, where a knowledge of geodetic work is required, and has in addition no less an object than the raising of the standard of qualification for English diplomas in surveying. We are told that the Council of the Surveyors' Institute was approached by the authors and others interested in these matters, and agreed to adopt this text-book if satisfied with it, but we are left in doubt as to whether it has received the approval of that body.
