This 1811 New York printing was corrected, newly arranged, and greatly enlarged by D. P. Adams, Teacher of Mathematics, with useful selections and a new set of mathematical tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is illustrated with copper-plates and retains its folding engraved plates. Its contents range from decimal fractions, logarithms, geometry, trigonometry, chains, theodolites, semicircles, protractors, mensuration, offsets, intersections, map scales, and maritime surveying to levelling and practical discussion of instruments, latitude, and compass variation. An early ownership inscription places this copy in Lynchburg, Campbell County, Virginia, in 1813.\u003c\/p\u003ePublication Details\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Theory and Practice of Surveying; Containing All the Instructions Requisite for the Skilful Practice of This Art\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robert Gibson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEditor and enlarger:\u003c\/strong\u003e D.
