Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Marine SurveyingThe need of a suitable text-book on Marine Surveying for use at the Naval Academy has been felt for several years by the officers engaged in teaching that subject.Having been engaged exclusively in surveying work for six years previous to my assignment to duty at the Naval Academy, I was requested by the Head of Department of Astronomy, Navigation, and Surveying to prepare a text-book on Marine Surveying to take the place of the one then in use.After considerable thought, I agreed to undertake the task, and the present volume is the result; and it is earnestly hoped that it may be of value, not only as a text-book for the Acad emy, but to others who may be without experience in survey ing work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
