Geodaesia improved; or, a new and correct method of surveying made exceeding easy in two parts : part I. Teacheth to measure, divide, and delineate, any quantity of land both accessible and inaccessible, whether meadows, pasture, fields, woods, water, commons, forests, manors, &c. by the chain only, whose dimensions are cast up by the pen, and consequently freed from the errors of estimation that unavoidably attend the scale and protractor. With necessary directions to map elegantly : part II. Introduces instruments, trigonometry, preparative remarks on the earth's superficies; and teacheth the invaluable method of casting up the dimensions of instruments by the pen several ways, all agreeing, &c. &c. : with a most useful appendix concerning the practical methods of measuring timber, hay'marl pits, bricklayers and plasterers work... / A.

from E, and it will point you out the North Corner of BridgeMeadow, whereat you made a Beginning in this Main-line: Buihare remember that youll have no Occasion to take Notice (a Syou are planning) of those Perpendiculars which Were taken up

on the Left-hand Side of this Main-line, except the first you took

in Poplar Meadow, by which the Fence on the North Sidethereof, and also that between Poplar Meadow and Lawn-plud*,are drawn ; for all the other Fences or Hedges between and theformer Main-line, are already planned. Jt is likewise needlessto give any Directions (in this Place) to plan the Right-handPerpendiculars that are terminated by the River; for whoever i*ready in planning the foregoing Examples, cannot possibly be at aLoss to raise Perpendiculars from a base Line at each refpecti vePlace the same were taken at: However, in joining the Perpen'diculars with a Pencil, forget not to draw a Line parallel thereto,between 40 and 50 Links distant therefrom, to represent theRiver, which by the Chain, measured so much ; when done,turn over to the Dimensions of Cracadony, wherein you findthat the Main-line taken therein, begins at r, in the SouthCorner thereof, and passeth by k, the West Corner of the 0 s 'chard already planned, which limits the Direction of this Main*line.

Here note , All the Difficulty of planning from Main-lin £S *depends upon drawing them exactly true in their proper Place-This done, the Work will then be found to be exceeding easy-

Having drawn the Line, there will be no Occasion to takeNotice of the Perpendiculars on the Right-hand Side (except th sthree last) the Hedge being already planned which is on that Sidebetween this and the Quistil Field; therefore, by erecting, ° nthe Right-hand, (according to the Field Notes) Perpendicularrespectively, upon which the several Numbers, as they appear uthe Field Book, being laid thereon ; then, with the Pencil, j 01 *]the Ends of the fame, as heretofore directed. This last penciledLine shews the Hedge between Ash Field and Quistil,the Perpendiculars on the Left-hand Side, plan them as you y 1thofp on the Right-hand Side ois the last Main-line; this beingdone, and the Boundaries described by your Pencil, the wholesplanned save only the North West Side or Fence of Quistil k ie> »wherein the Proof and Truth of all your Proceedings ^
