Excerpt from Topographical Drawing<br/><br/>This text is designed as a basis for a course of instruction and practice in topographical drawing. The first six chapters are in tended largely for reference, and it will be sufficient for the student to read them carefully. In Chapter VI is laid down a scheme of practice based upon Chapters VII, VIII, IX, X, and XI. The illustrative figures of these five chapters have been pre pared with a view to their usefulness in such practice. When proficiency has been attained in lettering and in the execution of the individual conventional signs, practice in map drawing may be undertaken. This subject is covered in Chapter XII, and a four-color plate is there given as a model for such practice.
