An Introduction to Mensuration and Practical Geometry: To Which Are Added, a Treatise on Guaging, and Also the Most Important Problems in Mechanics (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to Mensuration and Practical Geometry<br/><br/>Dr. Hutton was the first person, in this country, who undertook to collect these scattered fragments, and to treat of the subject in a scientific, methodical manner. A small treatise by Hawney, and some others of little note, had indeed been long in the hands of the public; but these were extremely defective, both in matter and method; neither the principles nor practice of the art being properly or clearly explained. Before the publi cation of the treatise above mentioned, Mr. Robert son's ma be considered as the only book, of any value, that co d be consulted, either by the artisan or mathe matician; and had he given the theory as well as the practice of the art, and divested his rules and exam ples of their algebraical form, there would have been no want of any other elementary treatise.
