A treatise of practical surveying; : which is demonstrated from its first principles. Wherein every thing that is useful and curious in that art, is fully considered and explained. Particularly four new and very concise methods for determining the areas of right-lined figures arithmetically, or by calculation, as well as the geometrical ones heretofore treated of; with two other new geometrical methods much more accurate and ready than any of the former, never before made public. Also, the method of tracing defaced mearings from the Down, or any other survey, very useful to persons who have any property in land, to lawyers in controverted surveys, and to practical surveyors : The whole illustrated with copper-plates. / By Robert Gibson, teacher of the mathematics.
