THE PREFACE. i fure betral Reclass LT HO' there is little need of saying any thing þy way of: Preface to the following Trea tise ; yet Custom having made it almost as necessary as an Entrance to an House ; I shall so far comply with Custom as to say, That the following Dire&tions for Surveying, &c. were put into my Hands in M. S. to be Enlarged, Corrected and Improved, in such a Manner as to make them of General Use and Eaj Pra&tice, according to the Modern; Best, and most Improved Methods in: that Excellent and Useful Science. How far and how well that Design and Purpose bath_been pursued in the following Pages, I must leave to the In genuous Reader to judge, after I bave just told him that He will meet meet A 2 with with several very useful Definitions, Axioms, Problems and Theorems, wholly new, or at least newly apply'd. Here will be found also several new Problems added, relating to the Art of Dividing Land; As also a New Method of Surveying large Tra&ts of Land, by Sounds as well as Sight, by Vertue of distant Explosions, first Invented and Published by those two great Genius's and Improvers of Natural Philosophy,the Learned Mr Whiston and Mr Ditton. I shall only add, That to make this Treatise of as General Use as may be, the Reader will meet with an useful Colle&tion of all transparent Colours proper for the Beautifying Maps, Charts, &c.", which perbaps may be thought entertaining to the Curious. But if I bave made the whole Easy, Natural and InAtructive, I have gained my End, and the Satisfaction I aim at. Edward Laurence. Eometrical D fritions. Pag.
