Abstract
ALL students of surveying in Canada before securing official recognition are required to pass an examination on “descriptions of land,” which is one branch of conveyancing. Many lawyers in all countries are ignorant of the elementary principles of surveying, and few surveyors are able to understand the intricacies of a complicated title. Mr. Cautley has written on the subject in a way which should be useful, not only to students of surveying, but also to acting lawyers and surveyors everywhere.
