Excerpt from Maps and Survey This book is designed as an introduction to the study of- Maps and the processes of Survey by which they are made. In planning the work it was necessary to decide in the first place whether to call it Maps and Survey, or Survey and Maps: that is to say, whether to take the logical order, of Survey before Maps, or the order of general interest and use, which is Maps before Survey. Since many more people use maps than are engaged in making them, or than need to know the details of how they are made, it seemed better to begin with the consideration of the map as it is published and used. A clear understanding of the best results that have been produced up to the present time, leading to an appreciation of the ways along which progress is desirable, will make a convenient basis for the study of the methods of Survey, and the manner in which our representation of the worlds surface may be extended and improved. Some years of experience in teaching the elements of Geodesy and of Topographical Survey to the students of the Department of Geography in the University of Cambridge have shown me that there is need of a book which shall give a general account of the many-sided art of Survey.
