Description
"Excerpt from Papers Prepared for the Use of the Thomason Civil Engineering College, Roorkee, Vol. 7: Surveying
This small work has been prepared primarily for the use of the Students of the Thomason Civil Engineering College, but it is hoped that it may be found useful to Overseers on Public Works generally in the Department Public Works, and others who are unable to purchase the more expensive works on the subject. With the above object, the compiler has endeavoured to make the work as complete as possible for all the more ordinary kinds of Surveying; and it is trusted that the insertion of certain minute details, (which have perhaps been omitted as unnecessary in larger works,) and the order in which the subjects have been placed - the chapter on each branch being complete in itself - may render the work particularly useful to beginners.
It professes to be nothing but a compilation, the greater part having, by kind permission, been extracted from that valuable work, "Surveying for India," by Lieut.-Cols. Smyth and Thuillier. The Chapters on the Traverse Table, which it is believed are not to be found complete in any other book on Surveying, have been transferred in original. Frome''s "Outlines of a Trigonometrical Survey," Jackson''s "Military Surveying," and Baker''s "Land and Engineering Surveying," have also been made use of.
