This book is a classic guide to navigating and surveying mineral workings, a subject which until the 19th century was a task requiring significant training. The techniques described in this text enable the user to complete surveying tasks with less training and greater accuracy, having been developed to provide a simple way of using a magnetic needle with an adjustable zero. The author was a prominent surveyor and mining engineer in the 19th century, and his in-depth knowledge of the subject is evident in the wide range of topics covered by the book, including training in working with a magnetic needle, how to use a chain for measuring, the correct way to record data in a field-book, and even tips on how to shift points forward in a heading. Whether you are a geologist, mining engineer, or someone with a general interest in surveying, this book's insights are sure to prove a valuable resource.
