Excerpt from The Elements of Surveying and Geodesy An attempt is made in the following pages to present a comprehensive view of the subject of geodesy in its wider sense, in order to provide students and others with such information as may lead to a sound knowledge of the fundamental ideas involved. A full knowledge of all the details of any one particular branch of surveying can only be acquired through experience. As leading towards this end the author has always advocated personal instruction in the use and adjustment of instruments, as well as the useful practice which may be obtained in a students' survey camp. But before either of these is possible the student must have mastered the bedrock principles, and the author hopes that a careful perusal of these pages may help him to do this. Worked-out examples have been inserted where they seemed to be desirable, and a few examination questions are added at the end of the book. A list of references is also given to enable readers to consult authorities on specified branches of the subject. The author desires to take this opportunity of thanking Messrs. W. F. Stanley & Co., Ltd., for the loan of many blocks of representative instruments and for much helpful advice, and also Messrs. C. F. Casella & Co., Ltd., and Messrs. J. H. Steward, Ltd.
