Synopsis

This book documents the methods used by the military establishments of various European countries in carrying out their national surveys. Begun in the late 19th century, these surveys – still used today – pushed the boundaries of precision engineering and cartography. The author, Major Comstock, examines the approaches of countries such as Prussia, Great Britain, Austria, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, and Russia. The book contains reproductions of maps from these surveys, demonstrating their methods and the level of detail achieved.
