Front cover image for 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.

"The following work is chiefly a compilation from other books; and but very little new is added except a more full explanation, than has yet been published, of rectangular surveying ... and also a more particular explanation of the use of natural sines than is contained in most mathematical books."--Preface, p. [v]. Although Flint was not the author but the compiler of the work, over time it became known as his. The seventh edition, published at Hartford in 1830, credits him as the author
