  • Is Part Of: Joseph Crukshank, 1792
  • Description: This publication, with alterations and amendments, has been adapted to the use of American surveyors. The first section discusses decimal fractions, the square root, geometrical definitions, theorems and problems, and logarithm numbers, signs, and tangents. The second section contains plane trigonometry right angled and oblique, with its application in determining the measures of inaccessible heights and distances. The third section gives an account of the chains and measures used in Great Britain and Ireland, methods of surveying and of taking inaccessible distances by the chain only, with some necessary problems, and a description of several instruments used in surveying, with their respective uses. The fourth section contains two methods of finding the areas of maps from their geometrical construction. Finally, the fifth section contains a new, and much more concise method of determining the areas of surveys from the field notes, or by calculation than any hitherto published.
