A rare and practical work of early American scientific pedagogy and land management practice notable for its accessibility and its contribution to the spread of applied scientific knowledge during the nation's formative years. First edition of one of the earliest American-authored textbooks on surveying, designed explicitly for classroom instruction in American schools. Zachariah Jess, a schoolmaster in Wilmington, sought to improve upon existing texts by emphasizing clarity, practical examples, and accessible instruction over theoretical abstraction. Rather than include descriptions of surveying instruments, Jess deferred to the teacher's guidance and hands-on learning, allowing the book to focus entirely on the mathematics of land measurement. The text is followed by mathematical tables, largely adapted from John Robertson's tables previously used in editions of Robert Gibson's Treatise of Practical Surveying (Philadelphia, 1792 and later). The instructional material begins with fundamental geometry, trigonometry, logarithms, and the use of Gunter's scale, then proceeds through problems in angles, heights, baselines, and area calculation using both graphical and numerical methods, including double meridian distance and traverse tables. Jess's methodical explanations are interspersed with practical commentary, for instance, noting customary allowances for roadways in new land grants or explaining legal principles related to tidal watercourses. The final sections provide techniques for map scaling and solving complex boundary and intersection problems, reflecting both mathematical competence and the real-world challenges faced by early American surveyors.
