THE object of this work on Surveying is to present the subject in a clear and intelligible way, according to the best methods in actual use, and in so small a compass that students in general will find time to acquire a competent knowledge of this important study.
The author is under obligation to G. A. Hill, A.M., of Cambridge, Mass.; to Professor James L. Patterson, of Chestnut Hill, Pa.; to Dr. F. N. Cole, of New York, N.Y.; to Professor S. F. Norris, of Baltimore, Md.; and to Professor B. F. Yanney, of Alliance, Ohio. Professor Yanney has done most of the work on the second revision, and Miss M. Gertrude Cross, of Boston, has furnished the drawings.
