Geodæsia 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 Plaisterers Work. The whole being illustrated with proper Definitions, Problems, Rules, Examples, Explanations, and emblematical Types, rendered uncommonly easy. By A. Burns, Teacher of the Mathematics in Tarporley, Cheshire.

A treatise of practical surveying; which is demonstrated from its first principles. Wherein Every Thing that is Useful and Curious in that Art is fully considered and explained. Particularly Four new and very concise Methods to determine the Areas of Right-Lined Figures Arithmetically, or by Calculation, as well as the Geometrical ones heretofore treated of; with two other new Geometrical Methods much more accurate and ready than any of the former, never before made public. Also The Method of Tracing Defaced Mearings from the Down (or any other) Survey. Very useful to Persons who have any Property in Land, to Lawyers in controverted Surveys, and to Practical Surveyors.
