"Gibson's Surveying was a dominant American text for a half century, and the standard against which others were compared. It appeared on the American scene when there was a need for what it offered, particularly in regard to calculating land areas from metes and bounds surveys. Despite several additions and changes by American editors, it never included descriptions or instructions on newer instruments such as the vernier compass, solar compass, or surveyors transit. Its heyday came and went, and it nobly served the needs of many pioneer American surveyors. Today it continues to serve professional surveyors by providing insight into alternative measuring methods used in early surveys." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SCIENCE BOX 1

First edition, 4to, [2], 3-11, [1]pp., large fine folding map at end drawn by Mr. Elstobb, "Vere sculp. Maiden Lane Covt. Gardn.", orig. wrappers, a fine copy. The report to the General Commissioners concerning the drainage of the north level of the fens. Both Golborne and Yeoman reported on the drainage of the North Level in 1769, followed by Grundy's report of 1770. In 1773-74 Golborne served as consulting engineer when a new cut was made below Wisbeach, which was known as "Kinderley's Cut" in honour of Nathaniel Kinderley, who first proposed a scheme of this kind in 1721. By Golborne's admission, this is a preliminary report, giving an estimate of costs but not attempting to determine the course of the new channel.
