Excerpt from Elements of Geodesy
The chief reason for making the following pages public is the desire to put into better shape the principles of Geodesy, and have accessible in a single book what heretofore has been scattered through many. The advanced student and practised observer will find nothing new in this work, and may, when accident throws it into their hands, lay it aside with feelings of disappointment. But it is hoped that the beginner will be enabled to get a clear insight into the subject, and feel grateful that the discoveries and writings of many have been so condensed or elaborated as to make the study of Geodesy pleasant. The plan pursued in the discussions that follow is to take up each division in its logical order, develop each formula step by step, and leave the results or conclusion in the shape that the majority of writers have considered the best. In the text only occasional acknowledgments have been inserted, though at the end of each chapter a list of books will be found to which reference has been frequently made. These lists are by no means complete, so far as the literature of the subject is concerned, but contain the titles of those books which were found the most helpful while engaged in self-instruction.
