A sure guide to the practical surveyor, : in two parts. The first, shewing how to plot all manner of grounds, whether small inclosures, champain-ground, wood-lands, mountains, and dales, by the semicircle, plain table, and chain. As also, how to find the area, or content thereof, with the manner of protracting, reducing, and dividing the same; and also how to inclose a mannor lying in a common field, with the drawing of a perfect draught or map thereof, and how to deck and beautifie the same. And likewise how to convey water from any spring-head, to any appointed place. The second, shewing how to take the ground-plot of any city or corporation: as also the mensuration of roads, highways, and rivers, with the manner of making a map of any county or kingdom. The like never before extant. /
