Abstract
ALL British surveyors will give the heartiest welcome to this excellent book. We have become accustomed to American and German survey literature, and have relied too much upon it. The author has gone far to relieve us of this necessity. He succeeds admirably in emphasising the importance of a due appreciation of the errors involved, and his mathematical investigations and notes on the accuracy of each method are clear and convincing.
Surveying.
