Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the extensive geodetic and astronomic operations executed in Holland as part of a nationwide topographic undertaking at the dawn of the 19th century. The author, tasked with creating a precise map of the newly formed Batavian Republic, recognized the need for a robust trigonometric framework to rectify inaccuracies in existing charts. Employing a repeating circle, the author meticulously measured angles between prominent landmarks, creating a network of triangles that spanned the entire country. The resulting triangulation, notable for its precision, was further refined through astronomical observations, establishing latitudes, longitudes, and azimuths of key points. This book presents a comprehensive account of the project's history, methodology, and findings, offering a valuable resource for understanding the development of geodesy and astronomy in the early 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780366011353_0
