"The present work is an attempt to provide an elementary exposition, not only of the practical methods of observation and computation, but of the main principles that must be thoroughly understood if the surveyor is to be master of his profession ... A large proportion of the examples set for working have been taken from the papers set for candidates at the examinations for Licensed Surveyors in Australia." - Preface.
