Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Survey of a Section of the River Delaware, From One Mile Below Chester, to Richmond Above Philadelphia The duty which the Councils of Philadelphia have assigned me, in the survey of a section of the river Delaware, I have completed; and it is my consolation to know, and my privilege to assert, that I have not been faithless in the discharge of the important trust committed to me. As some accompanying remarks, with the draught of the survey, may be expected, I will endeavour to give them in as brief a detail as the nature of the case will admit. To give a formal account, in this Report, of the methods adopted in the prosecution of the survey, is deemed unnecessary; and such information would only be interesting to professional men. A history, however, of the plans and methods pursued, has been laid before a few respectable and professional gentlemen; by whom the correctness thereof was duly investigated, and from whom those certificates, which are respectfully submitted to the Councils at the close of this Report, were obtained. It may not be amiss, however, to state, that every attention was bestowed, to secure accuracy in the work, and to render the survey as full and as perfect as possible.
