Book Description
Excerpt from Supplement to the Manual of Instructions for the Survey of Dominion Lands: Determination of the Astronomical and Magnetic Meridians; Problems Connected With the System of Survey; Tables The first Manual of Instructions for the survey of the Dominion Lands, a small 12mo pamphlet of thirty-two pages, was prepared in 1871 by Col. J. S. Dennis, Surveyor-General; the title was "Manual showing the System of Survey adopted for the Public Lands of Canada in Manitoba and the North-West Territories, with Instructions to Surveyors." It was published by authority of the Honourable the Secretary of State, the Dominion Lands office being then a branch of his department. The Manual contained only one table, "showing the departure in running 81 chains 50 links at any course from 1 to 60 minutes." The second edition was prepared in 1881, under the direction of Mr. Lindsay Russell, Surveyor-General, by Dr. Deville; it was considerably enlarged, forming a large octavo book of 86 pages. By that time the need of tables specially adapted to the survey of Dominion Lands had become imperative: thirteen tables were calculated by Dr. Deville and Dr. King and were appended to that edition. A number of editions followed, the fourth, published in 1892, containing six additional tables, or nineteen altogether. The fifth and sixth editions, issued in 1903 and 1905 respectively, contained only eight tables. The tables left out were seldom used and it was considered that when needed they could be consulted in the 1892 edition. In 1908, when the stock of the fourth edition of the Manual (1892) was exhausted, a reprint of the tables became necessary. They were published as a supplement, and their construction and use fully explained. Problems connected with the system of survey originally published by Dr. King in the Report of the Department of the Interior for 1891, were appended. For this edition, the Supplement has been completely revised. There have been added two chapters on observing and a chapter briefly describing the instruments kept in stock at the head office, for sale to surveyors employed by the Department. These chapters replace matter which formerly appeared in the Manual of Instructions. The additional chapters and the revision are the work of H. Parry, D.L.S.; he has carefully checked the tables and it is hoped that they will now be found free from errors.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
