Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Practical Mensuration: In Ten Parts; Containing the Most Approved Methods of Drawing Geometrical Figures; Mensuration of Superficies; Land-Surveying; Mensuration of Solids; The Use of the Carpenter's Rule
After so many eminent men have written more or less upon this Science, it may perhaps be thought presumption in me to attempt to add any thing to its stores; but as I can say, without arrogance, that I have had considerable experience in the Practical Part of Mensuration, in all its Departments, I am persuaded that this work will be found to contain many things both new and useful.
