COOKE, of the said District hath deposited in this Office the title of a Book, the right whereof he claims as Proprietor in the words following, viz "A System of Geometry and Trigonometry: together with a Treatise on Surveying; teaching various ways of taking the Survey of a Field; also to protract the same and find the Area. Likewise Rectangular Surveying; or, an accurate method of calculating the Area of any Field arithmetically, without the necessity of Plotting it. To the whole are added several mathematical Tables, necessary for solving questions in Trigonometry and Surveying; with a particular explanation of those Tables, and the manner of using them.

JOHN TREADWELL. FARMINGTON, September 20th, 1804. WE the subscribers have carefully perused a Treatise on Surveying, prepared for the Press by the Rev. ABEL FLINT, of Hartford; and find it worthy of the public patronage. Every thing not immediately necessary for the practical Surveyor has been Field Surveying, both on the old and new plan; elucidated and explained with a degree of conciseness and perspicuity not usually to be found in Treatises on the same subject. The Mathematical Tables are reduced to less than half the size occupied by others; and any inconvenience which might result from such reduction is obviated by the insertion of a Table of Natural Sines, not usually found in works of this nature. The Surveyor who shall own this will not be under the necessity of purchasing GIBSON, which is a more expensive work. ASHER MILLER, Surveyor General. GEORGE GILLET, Deputy Surveyor for Tolland County. MIDDLETOWN, October 3d, 1804. |
