Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Surveying, Vol. 2 The circumstances which led to the compilation of the Work, Of which this is the Second (and final) Part, have been fully set forth in the First Part, already published. The First Part describes the instruments which are usually in the possession of the surveyor, and gives the methods of using them in surveying with the chain only, with the chain and theodolite on traverse surveying, and in minor triangulation. The determination of heights by levelling and by the measurement of vertical angles, is also dealt with. Only a few brief remarks have been made as to the effect of the spherical form of the earth on survey operations. The Second Part, now published, describes some modern and special instruments not SO generally possessed by surveyors, such as the tacheometer.
