Etc (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from A Treatise on Land-Surveying: Comprising the Theory Developed From Five Elementary Principles; And the Practice With the Chain Alone, the Compass, the Transit, the Theodolite, the Plane Table. Etc III. A complete system of Surveying with only a chain, a repe, or any substitute, (invaluable to farmers having no other instruments, ) is very fully developed in Part II. IV.
